DAY FOUR
Woke up... and did my daily.. stick arm out the window weather test... and was very cold but lovely and dry, no damp in the air, so got everyones clothes ready, bottles, popcorn buckets... etc.. then we all got up and off to breakfast for 7 again.
Ben thought today was a day to be Peter Pan..... and this paid off later!!
ben played with his friend in the play area.. as they did every morning!!
Then we were off to park... We got some lovely pics in front of castle.... though in ever photo one of us is looking away... so in the end we thought sod it... just have silly photos! haha
We then went on peter pan....... and after a million gos Matthew and I stayed outside with Milo while nanny took Ben on for a few more!!
We then went on teacups and dumbo, then headed over to adventure land entrance to go on Pirates again before it got too busy. Well when the music started to say park was now open... it was mayhem, I nearly got knocked over
, so i sat Ben in buggy so it was safer and we walked quickly over. We waited maybe 15 mins for ride, so not bad at all. Milo loves it again!
After this we went and watched Mickeys Winter wonderland which was lovely, and not busy at all... i think morning rush for rides was goin on! Also its the perfect amount fo time for a show for a young child like milo.. who started to get a little restless towards the end... ben loved it, esp when he got up to dance!
Then as we headed back to central plaza area we heard that Charecter Express... which so far we had managed to miss, we I ran ahead with Ben, and Peter Pan was on it!! Which was great as Ben hadnt been able to Get a good view of Peter on the floats.
Then the train stopped and Peter ran to right where we were standing, but didnt notice Ben (may I add.... he was only charecter... that didnt put any effort into anything.. this same one on parade... just didnt look "into" it, i saw a different Peter on parade a different day and he was good... but this one was.. well... bit rubbish really.. only one I had any issue with, the rest were all wonderful!)
Anyway as it was saturday before we knew it there were hundreds of local children pushing their way in front.. and as Ben is shy this scared him and he said mummy lets go please...I knew he would be gutted that he had not met Peter when we got home, so i picked Ben up and tried to talk him around... but all the children were pushing and Ben got a little weepy, so we started to walk away, then Peters CM saw Ben and said... PETER!!! got bens hand and said "come with me" and He did.... haha... i think he was too polite to say no, like he did to me. haha. Then she walked him right to the front of the que and said Peter Wendy, look its Peter! And they were really lovely, esp wendy and took a photo for him. he was really pleased after... but still shell shocked by the amount fo people.
After this... it was just mayhem! Too busy... and Milo was stupidly cold even thought he was in layers, snow suit and fleece... so Nanny very kindly took them back to hotel for 2 hours to warm up and have a rest away from all the people. So matthew and I went to studios.. we wanted to do fast pass for TOT but it was 1 o clock and fast pass tickets were for nearly 5!! And wait was over 2 hours!!!!
So we went around park then got a fast pass for rock and roller coaster which was fun. We had a chat and held hands, just soaked in the atmosphere, then went to pick up boys.
Put them in more layers then returned to park for star tours... but wait was 80 mins! Buzz 95 mins..... so we just walked around really until it was 3.30, then ben fell asleep in buggy.... so we let them both sleep and found an emptier spot for parade nearer its a small world.
Parade was lovely as always, and our plan was to run to star tours while parade was still going.... so we did this.. got there and wait was still 60 mins! so we gave in ... we wanted to watch candlebrations and fantillusion but park went into madness... I went to baby room in central plaza to change milo quickly... and there were 8 mothers in there... crying hysterically who had lost their children!
It then took us 45 mins to get from baby room to exit! snails pace... the funniest part was an english man stood up on a bin and shouted to his mates he couldnt get to "EVERY MAN FOR HIMSELF".. made me laugh. So we wondered around the village, went to mc donalds and around shops, and it was much nicer and emptier in village!! haha
Although i can safetly say that saturday was.... radiculous crowed wise... I think if it had been just matthew and I with no children.. and we didnt want to do rides it would have been fine, but with a buggy.. it really was hellish...the locals were being so rough and pushy that milo nearly got badly hurt in buggy by people falling and being pushed over towards buggy.. there was no order.
Ben got so upset he put his arms over Milo to protect him and shouted... "Dont you push my brother... he is a baby"... at that point the warmth came back for me... really melted my heart!
ANd i still wouldnt say this was a bad experience.. we just laughed about it... we had wed afternoon, thursday and friday where park was wonderful and empty and never waited more then 15 mins for a ride.. so it was just different.. but we saw the funny side of it, nothing was going to ruin our amazing holiday together.
coming up sunday... thankfully not so busy!! And amazingly snowy last day!!
but hay I was snug as a bug, was lovely!!!
more fab photos and how lucky have you been with all the characters, perfect timing 
How lucky were you with all those characters. I really like the pic of Ben with Buzz.... and I think you're the only one so far I have come across who has only waited for 10 mins for Crush!
