Saturday - Magic Kingdom Day!
It was a case of the same old on Saturday, we had agreed on a lie in and head out for breakfast.....we ended up both being awake for 8am!!!!
BUT two minutes later, boy were we glad we woke up when we did, as we turned the television on only to see it was showing Everton V Manchester United Live!!!! So we decided to get some breakfast in the hotel bar and watch the match.....Im sure the people in the room next to us were delighted at this as when Everton scored there third I was up dancing round the room!
By the time the football had done, it was around 10am so we got the park times and decided that we would head to Magic Kingdom at around 4pm! But what would we do with the rest of the day!?? Well we first had a walk down to Downtown Disney as we had been given a list of things to pick up and we thought if we got it done early, then it was out the way! ( I swear family members back home think credit cards have an endless limit! )
Thousands of Xmas decorations later ( And a sneaky earl of sandwhich ) we headed back to the hotel, very pleased that the sun was out! We dumped all our stuff in the room, got the old speedos on and headed down to the pool for a few hours! During this time we managed to sneak a few Coronas in, while trying to decide what to do with our final few days!!
We then headed back up to the room and got ready to head down to Magic Kingdom, and thankfully our bus was there waiting as soon as we got downstairs! 10 Minutes later on the bus and a short monorail ride later, which had a family discussing how somoene had died on the monorail after a crash in the previous year, talk about making you feel comfortable!!!
Finally we got inside the Magic Kingdom and I got that feeling I always get when I walk into Magic Kingdom! Its a strange feeling to describe, but its like a sensation that you dont get anywhere else, Ive always had it from the first time I went when I was 7 to now!!!! <--- That bit is for the ladies on here! haha
And straight to Tommorland to get on Space Mountain it was, BUT on the way, we decided to get a few Photo Pass pics.....only for the lad in the young couple infront of us to get down on his knee and propose to his girlfriend and thankfully she said yes! We couldnt believe the crowd that this attracted and we couldnt believe the guy had the bottle to do it! What some guys do for love hey!
Finnnnnally we got to the Space Mountain line, but it was 90 mins long, so we got fast passes for later on and headed to do Monsters Inc Comedy Show, The Tommoro Land Tour ride & Buzz Lightyears Alien Shooting thing, both are fairy enjoyable for what they are and Buzz Light year always raises abit of family competition!
Once we had done in Tommorland it was around 6:30-7ish and we were both feeling abit peckish, so headed to Frontierland and both tooked into a Pulled Pork Sandwhich and discussed what rides we needed to do.
As we went round the park and got various rides in we were quite dissapointed that Splash Mountain was out of order, it was quite strange to see it with no water in it, but we both couldnt help think that the park needed abit of updating, I dont know if its because weve been there alot, but it just felt abit lacking compared to some of the other parks we had been to.
We got ready to watch the Parade, now il be honest, im something of a Disney Veteran, but I have never watched Spectro Magic! Alot of you will find this hard to believe, but ive always used the time this is on to go on the busy rides! But I have to admit, I was impressed, some of the lighting in the parade is incredible, but I do find it abit strange still that thousands of people stand round to watch a couple of squirells playing a piano and the rest, but it was deffinatley worth watching!
Once Spectro Magic had done, we needed to do four things the first was Space Mountain, which we walked straight onto with our fast passes, the new updates to it were noticeable, but the ride itself does feel a little dated, its still a good ride, but compared to some of the other rides its got abit lost in translation!
We then headed to do the Tommorowland Race Track, again this sort of falls under the same as Space Mountain to me, it seems to be a ride thats got stuck in the 80s! But its still nice to do and I think for teenagers/kids it is a good ride! Finnnnnnally we then got to the two rides that we both were looking forward to doing in the dark......The Jungle Cruise and BIG Thunder Mountain!
In The Dark You Ask?! If you havent experienced these rides in the dark, you need too! Thunder Mountain is a good ride, we enjoy it, but put it in the dark and it just seems miles better! The que for this ride was about 30 minutes which wasnt too bad, although when we got off we thought there was a picture you could buy????
Then we decided to finish with our favourite 'No thrill' ride, the Jungle Cruise! Now weve heard the script for this before, but the puns on the commentry always make us both laugh, I think its the stupidity of the ride and the enthusiasm of the 'tour guide'!
Once we had finished with the rides, we decided to call it a night, it was about 11pm and we were both ready to and after a quick bus journey home we got to the room....Only to decide to head out to the jacuzzi and get a couple of beers in to end the day! Time for some ZZZZZZs!
So we walked into the show and sat on the far left where there werent many people sat so far, I started flicking through some of the pics we had on the camera, while all the pre show was going on, I wasnt that interested in seeing Dads getting the mickey took out of them....Oh boy I wish I had!!!
While having flashbacks to the 1992 Primary School production of the Christmas Story where I messed up my one line as an Inn Keeper!
And did American Idol Experience one more time, both of these are really great attractions and I always recomend them. Muppets is a rare attraction that has managed to stay fresh after so many years!
