Hi everyone
Still not feeling so hot , I can hardly hear anything andf it feels like somebody has stuffed my ears full of cotton wool and they are about to explode. I'm on drops and anti biotics and have to go back on monday to get them syringed
There is so much to tell you I don't know where to start
San Diego was great weather was just right
Hilights were the Zoo, the trolley tour, The old town museums, US Midway and the Harbour tour. We had a lovely lunch in a posh restaurant in Balboa park, we enjoyed wandering around the seaport village shops.
We visited my cousin in Redlands on the way to anaheim and had a good time with her.
We stayed at the Ho Jos for 3 nights and would definitely recommend it, the pool area was great in the afternoon to relax in befoire heading back to the parks.
On Friday we haeded into DL shortly after opening, we did the matterhorn etc in fantasyland, then headed over to splash mountain my favourite ride, we came off of this and were going to go straight over to California screaming when we saw there was hardly any queue at Winnie the pooh so we rode this proved to be a good decision as at the exit we ran into the dream squad and received dream fast passes for both parks. Wow, we went into CA and had Lunch with the Princesses, then did a few rides before heading back for a rest. that evening we watched the pixar parade did a few more rides before meeting up with Debi and family for Fantastmic, they no longer do the balcony seating and I would't recommend the new seating at all, but we enjoyed the show.
Keith and I had done grizzily river rapids just before going into the magic kingdom and while we were waiting for the show to begin had also used our splah mountain FP, we were soaked!!!
We then used the remaining fastpasses ending up on autopia.
The next day we went to Mickey's toontown madness and enjoyed playing in an almost empty toontown, we also rode on the Nemo subs very cool. We had breakfast with Mickey and co in the Plaza restaurant and due to some mix ups had to wait a while it didn't really bother us I ran and got FPs for big thunder in the meantime, the server said she like our happy attitude and gave us the magical moment pins one for us and one to give away. We wandered around some more went to the pirate island etc and decided we'd like to catch the Billy Hill show we got to the area in frontierland where it was advertised and saw a small acting show and then we waited in the sun for a show and nothing seemed to be happening in the end I went into the nearby restaurant to ask whether we were in the right place, sure he said it starts in one minute on that stage, we'd been sitting outside when the show was inside... duh I saw one table left with 2 chairs so I put my back pack down quickly explained to the people sitting at the next table that my husband was outside and ran out to get Keith, when we cam back in a CM was standing at our table and said had we come for the show, I thought he was going to say we were too late so I started to explain that we had been waiting outside, when he said I know I heard you telling these folks and I have some good seats for you better than these and he then led us to the very front of the room to a table and 2 chairs laid with a table cloth and 2 pins and a certificate and said this is a magical moment so we watched the show right from the front!!!
We then watched the indiana jones show. After this we had decided to go back for an afternoon siesta, but we got the monrail to DTD and had ice cream then walking back we walked through the grand Ca and into CAL Adventure once there we got a second wind and ended up staying in thios park we queued for about an hour for the new 4d ride, it's not my cup of tea but Keith loved it, we also went on the sun wheel then we had to scurry to meet Debi and co for the electric parade, After that we all went back into the magic knigdom we all had space mountain FPs then we rode Big thunder and Pirates without a line then Micco had a fp for 6 as he had been on Big thunder when it broke down earlier so he asked us to join them on Indiana. We were all exhausted by this time so headed home. I decided I was hungry but as it was after midnight we struggled to find food so Keith wasn't very pleased with me!!!
Sunday morning we did the segway tour in CA Ad Debi and co had done it the day before and she and another guy had fallen so I was a bit apprehensive but it was good and we had a great time, then we had breakfast with Lilo and Stitch at the paradise pier hotel, we took a cab back to the hojos and had just reached our room when we were told that our car had arrived so a quick glance around to make sure we had packed everything and we were off to the port!!!
Next installment tomorrow, hope this is what you wanted if you want more detail or less fluff let me know!!!
BTW weren't we lucky with our magic moments!
