SATURDAY 20TH OCTOBER MK AND DTD
GirlsonTour Trip Report 11th October 2007 25th October 2007
Coronado Springs Resort and Hard Rock Hotel
Andrea chief planner, chief of money (for this holiday) and generally chief of everything.
Andy chief provider of money and unwilling participant of this holiday
Kara chief spender of money and very willing participant of this holiday due to the fact that Mum and Dad were paying.
Lucy chief of all red heads and chief moaner (especially in hot weather).
Had planned to go back to TL again, because Andy had missed out on going because of his fishing trip however our plans had to be altered due to the torrential rain when we woke!! Hung about a bit deciding what to do and Lucy suggested that as we hadnt been to MK, and were leaving for HRH tomorrow, we should really go there. With a lot of face pulling and groaning from all of us we agreed that you couldnt come all this way and not go to MK.
I have forgotten to mention that not once during our stay at CSR did all 4 room keys work sometimes it was Karas that worked, sometimes it was Lucys dont think mine or Andys once worked. We had been back to the reception desk at least 3 times about the keys and had mentioned that on Karas key it said child on it. We were assured that this would not be a problem and it hadnt been until we got to the gates of MK .no, you cant come in on that ticket. You will have to go to customer services .WHAT!!!
After 9 days of use and now youre saying theres a problem. Now I have to admit that we were, at this stage, totally disneyed out and I have to admit also to ranting and raving whilst in line for customer services
.apologies to anyone in that line!
Eventually got into the park and decided to catch the old fashioned car up Main Street something that we have never done before, and who should we meet in the same car .
It was lovely to meet my imaginary friends and I really wish we had arranged to meet later for a drink however Richard I know, that like me, being a DISer means that every waking hour of a Disney holiday is planned to fine detail and nothing can come between a family and their itinerary!!!
After saying our goodbyes, Richard headed off into the sunset (or rain clouds) and we hit the rides big time.
The only time i have actually taken a photo on Splash Mountain...
Kara and I got told off by Alice in Wonderland and the Mad Hatter for ramming the car in front (which just so happened to be Andy and Lucy) on the racing car track.
Sun started to appear at about 1pm so Andy suggested (really
He has turned from a devil at the beginning of the holiday to a saint ) that Kara and I head off back and he would stay with Lucy and meet some of the characters. Not needing to be asked twice we almost ran down Main Street!!
By the time they were leaving the skies were clearing up..
Later that evening we just nipped to DTD to get some last minute presents,
back to CSR to pack ready for tomorrow.
Tomorrow: stretched limo to HRH, IOA and HHN.
