Today is the day we go to Magic Kingdom. Can you believe we have been out here all this time and not visited the Magic Kingdom yet?? I told you it would be boring .. I mean relaxing.

First thing we do is get fastpasses for space mountain and go to POTC which is my favourite here and it is a good as ever. We get a fastpass for Big Thunder Mountain and walk back to tomorrowland to go on space mountain.

Just as we are walking back to space mountain I hear a voice shouting out my name. I can see Joh (Wilma-Bride) waving at me from the Liberty Belle. I try to get a photo but this is the best I can get

The boat appears empty apart from her. Can you see her in pink by the side?

I can't believe that we have managed to sort of meet up again. What are the chances? I just wish I had got a better photo.

We do space mountain which seems so jerky that I wonder how many years I will be able to go on this before I get too old!!!

We now go on Buzz Lightyear

I take a photo and it immediately breaks down making think it is my fault for being naughty and using my camera!!

We get out eventually and go to Monster Inc Laughfloor. There is something about this that makes me feel uneasy. I really don't want to be picked on and it kind of spoilt the enjoyment worrying about having to say a joke or worse!!

We go back to Big thunder mountain getting a fastpass for splash mountain on the way. I keep hoping I would bump in Joh again as that would be really cool, but we didn't.

After BTM we go to fantasyland and go to Mickey's Philhamagic another "must do" at Magic Kingdom. Back again to go on Splash Mountain which is ever so good as don't get soaked for a change just a refreshing sprinkling.

We have been using fasspasses and doubling back and forward but have managed to go on all the rides we wanted.

Mark and Kirsty want to hire a little boat. Last year we did this at the Poly but this year we decide on Grand Floridian and take the ferry over there. We have lunch at the food court. Both me and Mark have a jerk chicken wrap. Mark loves his one but I think mine is awful and leave it. This is very rare for me to leave something.

Mark and Kirsty get their boat and are helped in by a great Cast member wearing crocs. He shows me his tan as the holes have left a patten on his feet. I hope this will happen to me with my mickey heads. I will wear them the whole my holiday to Spain next year to see if I get tanned mickey heads on my feet.

It looks like Mark and Kirsty are having a great time

I remember when we stayed here a few years ago there is a great cocktail bar by the pool so I go off and have a Captains Mai tai while I wait for Mark and Kirsty to get back and sit in the sun and relax. It is lovely :cloud9:

We take the monorail back to the car and go back to the car to go back to the resort.

We have a lovely rest of the afternoon sitting on the balcony :drinking: and getting ready for our night at the turf club. I just love that whirlpool :goodvibes

We take the very short walk to the turf club and I love it here. We wait first in the bar and have some cocktails

I pick a rasberry skyy fizz thing as recommended by Joh on the disboards a few months ago.

It is a bit sweet for me but looks good doesn't it

The food is lovely and we have a great evening. Our waitress is excellent and very helpful.

This is going to be another one we will have to come to on every trip to Saratoga Springs.

We stagger back to the villas feeling really happy to be at our favourite place.:cloud9:

Tomorrow mini dis meet at MGM
 
Another great day at my favourite park.

Lovely photo of Joh.
 
Another great day Sue :thumbsup2 I'm sure I've tried a Mai Tai before, has it got rum in it ? ;)

Lovely piccies too

Mandy :)

I believe it does have rum. I have to admit I like all cocktails but try to keep off them when not on holiday as they seem to have so many calories especially my fav creamy ones!!!

Hope you enjoy loads of cocktails next weekend. Shame I can't be there with you but it is Kirsty's birthday. Perhaps next time. Looking forward to seeing all the photos

Well i can't wait to see the mickey tan marks next year:lmao: I know what you mean about Space Mtn, I'm starting to not enjoy it as much these days;) looking forward to day 12;)
 
Great report Sue. I dont ride Mission Space anymore I never have the need to go on these days. I think there are so many more rides out there I feel that I am wasting my time on this one. Perhaps its because we have to child swap and this takes up time in itself.

Lovely pics as always. Cant wait to read more.
