Granny - Kids love their Granny to come with us and we have a built in babysitter

Granda - Great for taking the kids swimming and he comes on the coasters with me

Auntie Rosie - Rosie is my Auntie and has never been abroad before.

This was our last full day and also Bastille Day. As I mentioned yesterday Rosie had got quite bad sunburn so she wanted to stay out of the sun but would come in to the park for our 1pm Lucky Nugget reservation. Granny and Granda stayed at the hotel to keep he company. I had managed to give mum a pair of sandals to keep her feet cool and I gave Rosie the crocs so that helped her a bit but I couldn't lend them any clothes as they would not fit

We headed off and the kids wanted to do the rockets so we headed there first

Then we took a wander through the castle and did a couple of rides in Fantasyland. It was quite nice just to have a bit of family time . By this time it was just about 10am so headed for pirates and made the first boat of the day. Then it was off to Phantom manor which the kids could ride again and again.

We decided since it was just the 4 of us we would head to Salon Mickeys for a drink. When we got there it was very busy so we stood about waiting for a seat. The groups that were there seemed to be there for the duration and moved faster than the speed of light when the pastries came out. 3 plates of pastries came out and we were still unable to bag a cookie so DH went to ask and we eventually got a cookie for the kids

By this time the rest of the gang had made it to the park but it was mobbed by this time. We had a bit of time to kill so took some photos of the kids and the castle

then we headed to Skull Rock park where the kids played a while.

We arrived at Lucky Nugget Saloon 15 minutes early but were taken and seated right at the front of the stage. The place was mobbed and service was slow. Once we got our drinks we headed off to the buffet. This was excellent. A good choice for everyone and good quality. The puddings were excellent and there was even a mini fridge full of ice lollies for the kids . The kids loved the characters as usual and it was good to see some different ones

Left the Lucky Nugget very full and did the Aladdin walk through and Fort Comstock. By this time the park was mobbed and very hot so the kids decided they wanted to go swimming to back to the hotel for some swimming while the ladies sat in the sun. When we got back to the hotel my suitcase had arrived but was hardly worth opening as we were going home tomorrow .

We headed out to the village in the evening and but no one was hungry so we just had a drink and the kids wanted to go up in the balloon. I had been up twice before so Granny and Granda took them up. They loved every minute. Then it was on to Hotel New York to the quad bikes again. Another bit of last minute shopping and then back to the hotel for a few drinks and discuss in great depths the holiday we had with no luggage
