After a good nights sleep we were up bright and early and ready to hit DisneyQuest!
I always felt the bus to DTD was a long one, but we were still there before opening time and browsed the LaNouba store and the DQ store before being in the first 10 people in for the day.
I enjoyed the lift with Genie, but was kinda un-impressed with the rest of it. The first thing we did was the Magic Carpets ride/thingy and I couldn't really have fun because I was too paranoid about my nose being trapped in a hole where millions of other noses have been, I also thought it was past it's best.
Next up we did the virtual Jungle cruise which was quite good, and then finally was had a game of Buzz Lightyear's Astroblasters which was probably the best thing in there.
To be hoenst is reminded me a lot of the Trocadero in London, and I was never a fan of that either!
Back out into the sunshine we went which was a much more pleasant way to spend the morning. And we had grand plans:
There wasn't a long wait at all, so we bought a ticket and got in line, and after one more ride it was our turn to board.
We started out over the right hand side of the baloon so had a great view over DTD and SSR:
Then the captain came around and took a photo of each of us which I thought was nice of him to do.
After that we got to walk around to the opposite side of the balloon so we all got to see everything. From this side we had a great view of the parks and resorts!
Soon we were back on the ground again, we both really enjoyed our flight and said we'd definitely do the Disneyland paris one next time we're there, although we're yet to see it up in the air!
All that ballooning had made us hungry! We did contemplate trying WPE, but we both knew what we wanted, and that was another EARL! I once again had the Hawaiian BBQ - YUM and Jack had the same this time as he had liked his Jerk Chicken one previously but admitted mine was the nicer of the two.
Once we were stuffed full of sandwich we did some shopping for gifts, Jack bought one of his nephews a box of Potato Head parts as he really loves Mr P.H.! We also had a good nosey around the T-Rex store, I was tempted to build-a-dino, but resisted.
We headed back to AKL and did some chilling by the pool, before heading out to EPCOT for the evening.
Our first stop:
I was glad to see our fellow Space travellers were both adults this time, and our ride was a lot more enjoyable without a distressed child sitting next to us. We did Green again incase you were wondering! No spinning for us!
Afterwards we headed over to ride Ellen's Energy Adventure, it passed the time, and the dinosaur bit was cool, but I am not convinced we'll be riding it again.....
Next up was SE again, we couldn't resist the pull of getting another glance into our future!
Turns out we'll have a pretty awesome house:
And I'll have a hologram lady to play chess with in case Jack's company gets boring on long journeys:
And we'll go on holiday to outer space! Sweet!
We really love SE a lot, and already can't wait to ride again on our next trip!
Soon the sun was setting and we were able to enjoy EPCOT with all the pretty lights on:
We took the opportunity to have a PP photo taken:
And then settled in to a spot for Illuminations, we had a great spot at the entrance to WS opposite America, this was our pre-show view:
We had a bit of a wait ahead of us, so I went and got us some drinks and Ice-cream and then I waited for AGES for a bathroom, and then Jack waited for like 2 minutes for a bathroom (men get it so easy) and then it was time for Illuminations!
After the show we headed back to the bus stop and didn't have too long of a wait to board a bus.
We got back to AKL and were both a bit hungry so went to the Mara and grabbed some drinks and snacks before calling it a night.

The DTD balloon hadn't opened when we were in WDW so we were determined to do the one in DLP last month but it was always closed and then they deflated it. 
I did read a rumour somewhere that maybe it has closed for good. 
Great report hun 
your t shirt!!!!!
