Me and Ryan headed straight for discoveryland when we arrived at the park at 8 only to find that both buzz and space mountain were closed, so we settled for a ride on orbitron instead. THen it was off to fantasyland for some tea cupping, a flight on dumbo and a ride on pinocchio before heading out of the park to meet my brother. again it was straight to crush's coaster first thing then on to TOT and Rock n Roller. Thursday was the busiest day so far so instead of queueing up for rides we decided to have a sit down in the art of disney animation then go and see animagique which ryan didn't get to see last year and really enjoyed!

After this it was a quick trip to the aerosmith tour bus to take some pics then on to armageddon for a bit of fire! Then we queued up to go on cars race rally which is something i'd never been on before, after we came off cars it was time to use our fastpass for TOT! After that the studios was getting a bit busy so we went over to the other park. Seeing as the parks were so busy we decided to go and get fastpasses for later on in the day and have a wonder round to woodys round up but on the way round from adventureland we found a load of characters that i managed to get my picture taken with
I also got my picture taken with Abu and Meekko (who my bro and ryan also had a pic with), we found Kenai loitering round the cowboy cookout! In woodys roundup we got pictures with prospector and bullseye but just missed the meet and greet with jessie and didn't have time to wait around for woody as we had a fastpass for indiana jones to use! Afterwards we ran back over to frontierland to watch the tarzan show which i was really impressed by and am still scratching my head wondering how they do some of the stunts??? On the way out we managed to make the meet and greet with woody in woody's roundup!!!! (I'm so happy i've never managed to catch woody before!!!!) unfortunately my bro got a bit stroppy and wouldn't have his picture taken with him.
Afterwards we went on pirates of the caribbean and used our fastpasses on BTM before heading over to the rainforest cafe for dinner. Although i really liked the setting of the cafe (thunderstorms and everything!!!!) I wasn't overly happy with the price of the menu and what you get. It cost over 4 euros for a glass of coke and i thought 18 euros for a fried chicken burger and some chips was a bit steep. My brother decided to get the mixed grill which was 27 euros which had ribs, chicken, some strange looking meat on a stick (still not sure what it is but it looked like an oversized pepperami!) and some shrimps, which he couldn't eat because they hadn't been shelled and still had the head, legs, antennae, rostrum (a nice word i picked up on my course hehe) attached. Now i can finally say i've experienced it but i am unlikely to go back there again.
After dinner we visited a few shops trying to decide what to buy for ourselves and our parents before heading back to the park to get on the rollercoasters before the parade began. we went from discoveryland and space mountain to adventureland and indiana jones to frontierland and BTM, which is where my day didn't end well. I really wanted to buy a pic from BTM and asked my brother way before the ride started to keep just one of his arms down on the camera bit so we could get a good picture. I then asked him again on the ride on the corner just before the camera, which is when he stuck both arms into the air which completely blocked my face (we only went on BTM once again the next day and the pic wasn't that brilliant so i ended up going home without one
). Thursday ended with me going back to the hotel almost in tears wondering how my brother could be so spiteful and i didn't talk to him again for the rest of the night. I wanted to watch the fireworks again that night but i was in such a bad mood i couldn't be bothered so we ended up just going back to the hotel.

what a shame your brother stuck his arms in the air ... after our trip in June I have vowed never to go with extended family again, my aunt came and it was non stop snyde remarks and comments about buying photos, etc, etc ... there was one point I literally had to tell them all to leave me alone and I would ring them when I felt calm enough to rejoin them ... I'd never experienced rage at disney until this but we have our trip in October to look forward to 
I remember me and my sister being like that when we were younger..anything to annoy each other....ditch the bro next time and you will have a better time!!
but apart from that you had a lovely day. Just think, you'll be able to get that BTM photo at Christmas.
