Trip report Day 3 7/6/7
Today we had breakfast in the Chuck Wagon Café at 8am, this was nice just like the GMF except we didnt have to wake up as early!
We gave Musa a pony ride after brekkie which was nice, but they gave us the lazy horse called Nougat, so we had to keep pulling him along which felt a bit bad. But Musa enjoyed it.
Wed packed most of our things the night before, so after breakfast we put the last of our things in the cases and took them to guest storage at the hotel as this service was for free. Wed asked the previous day at the park if their luggage store was a free service but they said wed have to pay a certain amount for different size bags, sorry I cant remember what the prices were. So after wed left our luggage we saw Pluto outside for a photo and this time we were able to get a picture with all of us in it and it came out really nice too.
We went straight to DSP and had a go on Aladdins carpet, the queue was less than 5 minutes! So that was nice, then Sumayyah fell asleep so we thought wed wait til she woke up to go to Animagique again as we didnt want her to miss out. So me hubby and Musa went on Tram tours instead, this was more interesting than I thought it would be and I thin it gives you an appreciation to the effort they go to to make movies.
The queue took a long time and so did the tour so when we were finished DD had woken up and we were just on time to see the next Animagique, I really loved this! I think it was DDs favourite. Then we went and had a pic with Mr Incredible and that was nice.
We were hungry now and went to have lunch in Pizzeria Bella Notte.
It cost us E45 for 2 green salads, 2 penne Neapolitan, 1 pizza, 2 garlic bread (come with the pasta meal) drinks and 2 chocolate mousses (these were very rich! Yum!)
We were really fortunate because it poured down with rain while we ate! When we came out there was a small drizzle that lasted for about 45 minutes. We walked to Adventureland and intended on going on POTC but it looked really dark and we decided the kids would probably be frightened so we walked back out of the queue and headed towards the Chapparel Theatre for Tarzan. This was amazing, the acrobatics were fab and we got to film the whole show. This was DS and DHs favourite of the whole trip. I really wish theyd ban smoking in the park or designate smoking areas. The amount of people smoking in the queue for Tarzan! Goodness, they might not be bothered to smoke in front of their own children, but to smoke in front of others I think is a bit inconsiderate.
Afterwards we headed back to Main Street for the Parade one last time before we left as I said Id film it for my niece. This was the last thing we done and then we bid the parks farewell. We headed back to the hotel to collect our luggage and then back on the bus to the Station. We got there quite early and the queue for check in wasnt too bad. Security check was uneventful, and we got our seats on the train. This time we left on time! Yay! So we arrived back at Waterloo at 20.30 and went back to a car with no petrol!
Well somehow we managed to find a petrol station about a mile away and then we were home!
It was a relief to be home as we were all so tired, but I really missed the parks and not being able to go around Adventureland and Frontierland properly.
If I were to go again the things I would do differently would be
Get autograph books so the kids get to spend a few more moments with the characters
Get to the meet n greets 20 minutes early so the queue wouldnt be as long as if we joined in the middle of the time slot.
Make the most of the short queues for characters in WDS from what I saw they queues were less than half as short as the Park.
Make sure we leave enough time to get to the train station and take into consideration rush hour lol.
Make sure I get to see Lilo and Stitch show (the DLRP magic timetable said except weds so I planned for Thurs morning, but when I looked at the programme it said not on weds OR Thurs, so I was really gutted for the kids sake, we could have made it on Tues afternoon but I didnt realise til after, so dont count on certain timetables 100%)
Make the most of meeting characters in the hotels, maybe even sneak to another hotel for a different pic!
Go to Disney Village as I didnt get to go
Also go to see the Lion King as we missed out this time
Oh and Star tours was the one adult ride I really wanted to go on but I missed out
It was a wonderful time and I cant wait to go back
Thanks for taking time to read again!
