Day 10: Epcot

Today was Epcot day as well as being our anniversary we had some breakfast at the hotel before heading out for Epcot to get to the park for opening. We got to Epcot just after 9 and headed straight for Test Track as I wanted to get the big one's out of the way with before queue's formed.
We got in test track and got straight through there was no queue's at all which I was pleased about as I love this ride, and Jonathan loved it to so we was happy that they said to us we could stay in our car and ride again because there was no queue.

After we came off we headed over to the Land Pavillion and got fast passes for Soaring before going to Spaceship Earth. No Queue at all so we was straight on the ride. I was always a fan of Spaceship Earth but we loved the interactive bit at the end and had so much fun doing lots of different shows over the various times we went on during the two days we visited. After we exited Spaceship earth we went to get photopass images from infront of Spaceship Earth.

We then headed up to Imagination and went on Figment and Honey I Shrunk the Audience before we went back over to Land to ride Soarin It was the first time I had been on it in Disney World although went on it in California when I was younger, and we both absolutely loved it. We then got on the boat to go and look round the Land. After we had done this we went on Nemo and then spent a lot of time looking around the sea's.

By now I had built up an appetite so headed to the Electric Umbrella where I got a chicken meal why Jonathan decided he would have something from World Showcase which is where we was headed next. Jonathan ended up having lunch in Japan although I can't remember what he had. We enjoyed our nice stroll around World Showcase until I came down with heatstroke and felt sick to my stomach so we ended up calling it a day for the afternoon and I was worried sick about not being able to go for our dinner reservation for our anniversary.

Luckily after a few hours rest back at the hotel I was felling better and so we made our way back to Epcot at about 6. We went on Spaceship Earth twice so that we could do different stories and took a few pictures of our future selves.

Excuse Jonathan pulling faces.

We then headed over to the UK and went in the shop as we had time before our reservation and I was estatic to see Winnie the Pooh, Eeyore and Tigger.

We then went to the Rose and Crown and checked in for our dinner. I had the Steak and Fish while Jonathan had a stew. I also enjoyed my first glowtini.

We didn't get any photo's of Illuminations as we was eating our ice cream while watching. We had an ok view but we was blocked by the canopy slightly.

Before we left we had some more photos infront of the Earth.

Some great pics there Esp the Spaceship Earth ones, I forgot how funny they were!

I never got to have a Glo-tini the whole time I was there

 

[jackieleanne]

Neither did my bf he didn't drink except when we went to Chef Mickeys in the limo as he was driving, so next time we are staying onsite. We don't drink a lot but it would be nice for him to enjoy a drink with his meal. Thank you guys.

Day 11: Epcot

Not any photo's from today as we did Epcot again as because I was ill we didn't get to have a proper look around World Showcase. We got there for around 9:30 and did Soarin, Test Track, Spaceship Earth and the Land ride. When World Showcase opened we walked round starting at the Morocco end this time. We both love all the world showcase shops especially Japan and Germany. When we got to the UK we grabbed fish and chips and sat in as much shade as we could get because it was boiling. We was then a bit fed up with Epcot and feeling a bit exhausted so decided we would take the rest of the day to rest at the hotel.

Back at the hotel for around 2 we lounged by the pool for a few hours. In the Evening we was tired from the last 3 long days of Epcot, Sea World & Islands of Adventure so grabbed hotdogs and curly fries from the hotel foodcourt before relaxing back in the hotel room. Hoping to do Aquatica the next day before Mickey's not so Scary Halloween Party.

Day 12:Shopping & MNSSHP

Well today we planned on going to Aquatica before going to MNSSHP however it was raining so we headed out to the malls for a last stroll around them to look for clothes as well as souvenirs before heading home. We had dinner at Golden Corral before heading off to MNSSHP at the Magic Kingdom.

We got there just before 7 and was amazed at how close we got to park to the TTC. When we got to the park everyone else who didn't have to be there where leaving it felt really strange seeing more leaving than coming in when it wasn't the park closing at the end of the day. (I have lots of pictures so ill post these all at the end.

When we got to the castle we stopped and watched the end of the Year of A Million Dreams show and I kept telling Jonathan to snap Aurora and Prince Phillip as you never get to see them two. After that had finished we headed over to Splash and walked straight through to the front of the queue no one else was on it and we got our own boat yay! So we was singing our way through Splash Mountain no one on any of the boats behind us or infront and as we get on the ramp to take us down into the Laughing Place it breaks down and we have to listen to bees over and over for about 30 minutes. And we was missing our party and candy. Finally it started again and we could finish our ride. When we got off it was nearly time for the first parade. So we went on Thunder quickly as there was no queue I love Thunder and Splash when its dark.

When we got off Thunder we went and watched the Parade after our first Candy Stop near the Tom Sawyer rafts. We barely managed to snap a picture of the headless horseman but I got loads of the parade. I loved this parade it is probably my favorite we was loving our first magic kingdom party. We went and got some more Candy down by the riverboat where a scary man was walking the boat and a coffin lay in rest and then from the Hall of Presidents we was building quite a collection now. We then headed over to the castle for the show and then Hallowishes. I liked the Villans show but I wouldn't neccessary watch it again without kids with me but well as for the fireworks I loved them. I love wishes and I thought Hallowishes was even better, again I snapped away with my camera. After the fireworks we headed over to Tommorowland and did the candy stops as well as rode Space with no queue and Buzz.

We also stopped and did the mad hatter party sweet trail before heading back through Fantasy land where I stopped for pictures with Eeyore and Pooh before we went over to Haunted Mansion for our first ride of the night, when we came out we had pictures at the carridge before heading over to Adventure land, we did the candy stops here and then rode Pirates we both loved all the smog that they had around the Pirates entrance with the lighting affect it looked really good. We went on Jungle Cruise as we still had plenty of time left then we headed back to Winnie the Pooh to see if Tigger and Piglet was there before they finished for the night. I got in line for Tigger and Piglet and then we did more candy stops before heading back to Haunted Mansion to do it again so that we could be on it at Midnight hour.

Here are some of my pictures. It will probably go over a few posts. Will also post the Photopass and some of Jonathans.

Day 13: Magic Kingdom
Our last full day at Disney before we had to leave for home. We head out first thing as we have a breakfast reservation for 8 at Crystal Palace the first time I was having a meal at Crystal Palace. It felt great to get to go through to the park when it was empty because of our reservation. It was empty when we got there but we didn’t have time to take pictures by the castle while it was empty because we had to rush for our reservation time. We waited about 2 minutes by Crystal Palace until we got called in.
What can I say about Crystal Palace I absolutely loved it. The best thing about the place is the character interaction and add this to its choice in breakfast foods which was delicious and you have the perfect combination. I will definitely be booking this place again for our future trips. When we had finished it was just after 9 so the park had opened but was still quiet we headed straight over to Frontierland like usual and we went on Splash Mountain and Thunder Mountain as well as grabbing a fast pass for Splash. We then went on Pirates of the Caribbean and Haunted Mansion before going over to Tomorrow land and walking on Space Mountain, Buzz Lightyear, Carousel of Progress and Stitch. We had done all our must have’s and it was only 11. Our fastpass time for Splash was coming to an end so we went to go to that grabbing fastpasses for the Winnie the Pooh adventure on our way and again getting a bonus fastpass for Phillarmagic. So we went on Splash again and the fastpass times where literally 20minutes before the actual time for both Splash and Thunder that we got to take advantage of this all day as you will find later. After Splash we went on Thunder before going for Lunch at Cosmic Rays before using our fast passes for Pooh and Phillarmagic.
We went on Haunted Mansion again before heading over to Frontierland where we got a Splash fastpass and Thunder fastpass because of the time’s on them being so close that we could get as many fastpasses as we wanted. So we went over to Tom Sawyers Island and had a wonder and a relax in the shade because it was sweltering before we headed back to ride Splash and Thunder which we kept doing repeatedly and did a total of 5 times Thunder Mountain, and 6 times Splash in the course of the day. We did Pirates again and Jungle Cruise before we went to ride Splash for the last time on our holiday.  We was pretty tired by this time despite it only being 5. So we headed back to the hotel stopping at Black Angus and having a nice meal before we went back to the hotel to finish the packing. We did think about going back for the fireworks at one of the parks but we was to exhausted to be bothered with driving back. If we had been at a resort we probably would of gone back to watch one of the fireworks. So sadly we headed back to sleep knowing that we would have to leave tomorrow and not wanting to go back home.

Day 14: Downtown Disney & Trip Home

So we woke up at around 7 as we had done most of our packing, we showered and got changed before heading to breakfast and then back up to the room to get the final things in the bags ready to go home. It was about 9 am when we went down to check out at the front desk, which was done very quickly. We then went to the car and drove to downtown disney to check in our bags etc at the Virgin desks. No one was there and we had done everything within 5 minutes most of the time was spent filling in the questionnaire. So we had a while to wait until everything started to open. So we just sat and looked around Downtown Disney it was very hot already we went in Disney Quest for a while when it opened it was more enjoyable this time as it was quieter but I was getting really down about having to go home. We went over to Mcdonalds and had lunch before we got in the car to drive up to the airport we had a lot of time before our flight but it was to hot to stay out in the sun so we thought atleast if we got everything done at the airport we could have a look around the shops.

The flight home was on time but it was an awful flight the turbulance was really bad, Jonathan got no sleep and I hardly got a wink, we was on a back row of the block at the wing but the air hostess had her seat behind ours so we couldnt recline them. I started looking to go again as soon as we got back in England where we was both freezing.
