Only times we could get for breakfast were 9am which turned out well in the end as we were all tired we only just got up in time
.
Queue for breakfast was huge (at Santa Fe) and seemed ages before we actually sat down. Food was ok as always but those birds are still flying around, really wish they would sort that problem out especially as it's the areas where you are eating.
Then we were off into the parks again, and today was the Studios. First stop though was a must - Salon Mickey, love it there, feel very special!, although this time it was packed and we had to stand. Was also astounded by one particular family that thought nothing of taking 3-4 pastries each and countless drinks to take away.
Off to the Studios - a park we don't pay much attention to so decided today was the day we would explore it and do as much as possible.
First stop was the flying carpets, which was on and off, no queueing - in fact for the whole day the park was fairly empty which gave us the opportunity to go on and off the rides all day. Crush was still a 50 min wait though
.
Spotted lots of characters and realised they were the ones from the Stars and Cars parade so managed to get quite a few pics - apart from Snow White and Dopey much to Hollies disappointment, she was the only one that didn't hang around for long, here's a couple of pics.:
Had a special moment with Mary and Bert - Mary said to Hollie - "do you know who Iam?" - Hollie said "yes you're Mary Poppins - and that's Bert - he's Ernies friend"(slight mix up of film / cartoon there). Much laughter by all. Mary then said "do you know a spoonful of sugar song? will you sing it with me?", so Hollie did, - had tears in my eyes then, they talked to her for ages.
Then off to get our place for the Stars and Cars parade. It was raining so they didn't get off and didn't do the show so we now presume thats why they were out in the park earlier?, still enjoyed it though.
Straight off to see Stitch Live - a firm favourite for us all and always makes us laugh. Much more laughter this time - well not for me as I was chosen by Stitch to be his girlfriend and name the planet after me -. Hollie then wanted to see Playhouse Disney but as it was something like 90 mins until the next English one we decided to go and watch it in French - was different and made us laugh.
Next was the Studio Tram Tour which now doesn't have the costume stop pesumably because of the new Toystory land:
Lots more character interaction around the park, we love Chip and Dale they're so pesky. Whilst waiting to see Donald they came over and caused chaos - one lady wasn't amused when trying to take a pic they kept jumping in front of her camera, they just disrupted everything, and blocked the children in, very funny.:
and a little cheeky pic by the Monsters area:
After a little
shopping - it's great going when the sales are on we got loads of bargains! And then off for tea at Annettes - a first for us.
Annettes lived up to all we've heard about, really enjoyed the atmosphere, food was great and the staff friendly. Hollie loved the rollerskating waiter
. Singing / dancing was good too and the children both loved the fact their dinners were served on a frisbee (to keep). Will definitely return and for us now comes only second to our favourite of Cafe Mickey for places to eat.
Then off back to the hotel for the night again, very weary but very happy.
