Day 10 - A lazy morning and DHS
After not getting back until late the previous night we didn’t want a busy start this morning, so I had scheduled the latest Boma Breakfast ADR possible.
Luckily our room was less than a minute’s walk from Boma so we had plenty of time to get up slowly and get ready for the day.
We had a bit of a wait for check in as it was pretty busy (it was a Saturday after all) but nothing too bad, and were soon seated. We honestly weren’t too blown away by Boma. The food was OK, but by the time I had waited for 10 minutes at the omelette station everything else on my plate was freezing cold, which wasn’t a good start to my morning.
Our server was awful, he took forever to bring one drink and then never came to us again. I had to ask a different server for a second drink and then couldn’t find anyone to get our bill. He had completely disappeared. Our only bad service at Disney but I think a disappearing server and no replacement is pretty poor! All the tables around us were stacked with dirty plates and glasses and everyone else in our section looked just as confused!
After breakfast we took it easy by the pool with our refillable mugs and our books. We laid over near the flamingos which was a noisy (feeding time!) but fun place to be.
Once we were suitably relaxed and our breakfast had digested we headed over to DHS as we wanted to catch the parade.

We had time to wander around the park and then nabbed amonst all the head statues. Which was a great place to watch from! I even caught a little squishy ball! (The cats love it!)
That’s the first time I’ve watched a parade from further back, and we really enjoyed it, we sat up on a wall, had a great view, and it was super fun!
Straight after the show it was time for:
Weeeee! This was SO much fun! We waited in the little holding area for a while and whooped and hollered for the contestants before heading into the theatre. It was amazing, just like being at the set of the show.
We had 3 great contestants, but the man who won was awesome, he was a Dad on a trip with his wife and kids and he was a really great singer! I hope he won at the end of the day! (This was October 10th, please let me know if he did win, he deserved to!)
Our next stop was either to be Tower of Terror, or The Little Mermaid. I gave my big strong Fiance the choice so you know where we headed!

He was so sweet, I asked him which he’d like to do and he went “Oooooh, the Little Mermaid!” and then coughed and made his voice all deep and added “Because I know you want to see it!”
This is his happy face once we got in, he’s trying to hold it back but you can see he’s excited!
You can also see the fuzzy head of the super cute baby who sat next to him, he was a lovely baby and so well behaved through the whole show, enjoying the lights and sounds and clapping to himself and blowing bubbles. Even so some meanie behind us decided to ‘tut’ when he was blowing bubbles to himself. Urgh, get a bit of the Disney spirit!
After the Little Mermaid I was starting to feel a bit peaky, I don’t know if it was breakfast, or too much sun, but we had a sit down and I got some water and started feeling a lot better, we also watched some of the Jedi show thingy as we were over that way.
An Indiana Jones showing was about to start so we headed in to watch it, there was lots of room left so we got a pretty good seat. We enjoyed the show but both thought it could maybe do with a bit of an update.
We walked over to the Toy Story outdoor shop thingy as Jack wanted to grab some bits for his nephews and I started feeling really weird again, so I sat down while he browsed and then we headed out of the park.
When we got back to the resort we loads of animals out grazing!
I had a lay down and Jack got some dinner from the Mara, I didn’t really fancy eating though and I’m sad to say that was a pretty boring Disney night. We watched a movie and I did some laundry, we also did some shopping in Zawadi, so all was not lost. I did feel a bit guilty though.
Luckily I was fully recovered byt the next morning, so I think I just needed an evening of chilling out!
