Had a row with Cuthbert this morning. Yasmin told me that he went shopping yesterday and purchased those Caterpillar boots for the gardener. They are so cheap they MUST be fakes. The gardener will be so upset at Cuthbert for wasting his money.

Played volleyball at my hotel with some lovely American persons. Brad and Britney are from Alabama. Honey and Chad are from Missourri. Honey and Honey are from New York and Crystal and Honey are from Long Island. What a popular name Honey is! Game was good until Cuthbert turned up. He cried when he was hit by the ball. My acrylic nails are ruined. Tried water ski-ing. I looked like a professional. I took to it like a penguin to the sea. Had a lovely spa and then went to the hairdresser. Gorgeous again!

Went to MGM. Went to the millionairre show. What a disappointment. No cash prizes and no Chris Tarrant! On to Little Mermaid show next. I took a photograph at the beginning because I thought the fish were so cute and beautiful it would make a nice picture. The flash seemed to upset the hired help. Cuthbert was terrified of Ursula. I told him to pull himself together, she looked like his mother. Yasmin laughed heartily and called out,"Hello Grandma."

Onto the Gone wrong Canyon. Waved to Blanche from the Golden Girls as our transport train thing drove past her house. She was looking out the window. Perhaps she was waiting for her cleaner. I got the seat at the left on the train thing but I soon moved(I heard that warning). Cuthbert vomitted but the water soon cleaned him up!

Went onto Movie Ride. I was scared at the India Jones part with the snakes. I did like the Wizard of Australia bit. Cuthbert was scared when I called out to the wicked witch of the south that Cuthbert had dropped the house on her sister.LOL. We then drove along the yellow monoblock road and I sang heartily.

Arrived at Fantasmic to find a huge queue. We walked up the roped off part at the left hand side. Don`t know why the regular persons standing in the non moving queue didn`t do this. We were stopped near the top of the hill by the hired help. Told we had to go back down the hill and join the queue. I explained that we had a fast pass and I thought this was the fast pass queue. NO FAST PASS HERE! Had to walk back down the hill and join the regular persons. When we got in we managed to get a bench in the centre. I enjoyed doing the American wave. This made me thirsty so I called on the hired help and she went and got me a sprite and some popcorn. Bless. Fantasmic was very good. Cuthbert and Amos were scared so they left. I loved the music, the story and the fireworks. The person behind me was filming the back of my head. Strange! I turned round and smiled and told the camera all about myself. He said, Ma`am would you please be quiet" How rude of him! Exiting was the worst cattle herding ever. I did of course complain.

Returned to hotel and Cuthbert went to the bar. I went out on Yasmin`s new roller blades. Yasmin didn`t tell me how to stop the wheels and I careered right into the swimming pool. I was not amused. I got strange looks when I went to Guest Relatives to enquire as to whether or not I could wear the roller blades in the parks. I can`t. It`s not allowed. Went to bed at midnight. Still no Cuthbert!

Tomorrow : Park hopping with Yasmin. Cuthbert going to Magic Kingdom with children and Yasmin and I shall meet him there later in the day.

Love always
Veronica

LOL...You know Veronica...my husband's name is Honey too and we are from Mississippi!
 

Dame Edith.....er.......I mean Dixie Amos,

Thank you so for the enlightening reports!:smooth:
 
Thanks for some honest trip reports Veronica. It's about time our "Colonial" cousins realised how much anguish we go through when we come over to their "Disney World" (I mean it's never going to match Southend-on-sea is it?).
Sounds like Cuthbert is enjoying it though.
(Wizard of Australia!He, he......good stuff! :D )
 
I am loving your trip reports. Keep them coming!! Poor Cuthbert I think he may need a vacation from this vacation! hehehehe
 
XAVIER I havent been to southend on the sea. I used to go to Blackpool as a youngster.

Love always
Veronica
