Today it is definitely Downtown Disney. At the bus stop for Disney we pick up a taxi which is great because arrange for him to pick us up a 10 oclock that night as we will be going to Magic Kingdom for Spectromagic and Wishes.
I have never been before to DD and I loved the market place.
I bought a bag and a Winnie the Pooh mug from the Disney store.
We had a look around the shops; I thought the other side where Disney Quest is was not as nice somehow it seemed a bit tatty. We went into Disney Quest and had a go on a few of the games but I couldnt quite get the hang of it so after about half an hour we left and headed for Planet Hollywood for lunch.
When we went to in April I was given vouchers for a free meal for Planet Hollywood but we never made it down here so I was determined this time we would use them.
I remembered what I had read on the Dis boards at that time and told the waiter that I would be tipping separately. The meal was good but I think I expected more as to me it seemed slightly tatty and overcrowded with tables, but I dont want to complain as it was free apart from the tip. 
After a last look around we headed back to the bus for the I Drive. This time instead of going to the Polynesian we get of the bus at the Contemporary so we have a look inside. We get in the lift for the 4th floor for the monorail and I couldnt believe how quick it was, wow.
Once on the monorail its back to the transportation centre and buses so we can get back to the I Drive.
After an hour or so resting we get ready to back to Magic Kingdom, I missed these last time so it was another I would be able to cross off my list. After a pleasant journey back we arrive at MK where we go and have an ice cream and a sit down.
We then make our way to Mickeys Philharmagic for one last time (I just love this). We have a look around as I am trying to find a T shirt from Splash Mountain but I dont have any luck. Its nearly time for Spectromagic now so we go and find somewhere to stand; on the way we have a baked potato as we suddenly realise we havent eaten since breakfast (that could explain the noise coming from my stomach). We finally find a space but it would have been better had the chap with the video next to me could have stood back as he was continually blocking my view. I took some photos but my camera doesnt do as well with the flash.
After that we had a look at Splash Mountain but we both wont sure about riding it in the dark so we found a bench and waited for Wishes.
Wishes was brilliant well worth waiting to see. It was definitely worth waiting to see them both and I am sure if I go back both of them will be on my list of must dos; simply magic.
