Sam's Disney Adventure day 5!

[sam_rogers]

For our last day we decided not to use EMH so we could put our bags into the same locker in the train station with my brother rather than all arriving separately. After this we had a wander down the village and looked in a few shops, and bought my mum and dad a nice silver bottle opener and wine bottle stopper (mum has just passed her wine specialist course). Then it was over to the studios where we were first in line at one of the gates, prepared to try and make our ultimate goal for the day...be first in line for crush's coaster. We had our master plan to send my brother with his big gazelle legs running to the ride and me and ryan would catch him up as we didn't want the embarassment of falling over on the very wet courtyard in front of the studios! By the time we got into studio one my bro was already out the other side! By the time crush's coaster was in sight my brother was the only person in the queue standing in front of the CM looking a bit of a muppet but we were first in line!!!!!

After we had our ride we headed over to TOT and got a fastpass, then to Rock 'n' roller which was not opened yet so we got a fastpass to come back again a bit later. We filled the gap between rides with an ice cream and a few photos in the studios.

After we used our fastpasses we headed over the the other park where we had our first ever ride with main street motors and had a ride in the street car from main street station to the castle, enjoying the CM's honking at everyone in our way on the road!

We headed off to discoverland to get a fastpass for Space Mountain, then over to Frontierland to get one for BTM, then back over to Adventureland for a ride on Indy. We headed over to Colonol Haithi's for lunch then it was time to use our fastpasses. First was space mountain, my bros favourite ride, then BTM which was great as always but this one had a particularly amusing photo!

some front row smooching!?!?!?!?!?!

We decided we wouldn't get much else done in that park because it was too busy and the queues were long everywhere so we thought we would try our luck with the studios, then something very good happened It absolutely poured down for about 15 mins we all got completely soaked (including my new mickey mouse i had bought earlier in the day) but it also meant that people were leaving the parks! By the time we got to the studios TOT only had a 15 minute queue and Rock n roller was also empty!

Unfortunately after we got off rock n roller the queues had started to build back up so we went to the village for some last minute shopping and dinner at mcdonalds before rushing off to check in for the eurostar!

Overall, it was an awesome trip apart from a few minor things like the smoking in queues and people constantly trying to cut queues! I can't wait til my next trip (which will be xmas fingers crossed) but next time i think i will just stick to it being a holiday for me and ryan!

Thanks for reading my trip report everyone!

Thanks for the trip report - did you buy the BTM piccie?!!

I must admit DS and DD usually have a contest to see who can pull the most stupid face on this ride - thus we've still not got a picture yet!!

Great report, sounds like a really good trip overall. Lots of rides too! LOL that BTM pic is brill!
I thought they'd banned smoking in the parks now or has that not come into effect yet? I know when I was there with my grandma and mam, although they smoke- they didnt and would never smoke in the queues because its too close to people.

Yay! Lovely trip!

Thanks for sharing! Shame we didn't bump into each other! Although we were SO close in that crush queue!

Who knows, maybe we'll go at xmas the same time?!?

Thanks for the trip report - did you buy the BTM piccie?!! :

lol no we didn't get the pic coz ryan wanted to look a bit happier!

I think the smoking ban has come in and there were no smoking signs in the queues but that didn't stop people and we only saw one CM in the whole week tell somebody to put out their cigarette even though loads of people were smoking in clear sight of the CM. I was thinking of contacting Disney and bringing it to their attention if I can find an email address somewhere lol

Nice trip report, Sam. Were you able to collect Fast Passes for multiple rides at the same time?

Nice trip report, Sam. Were you able to collect Fast Passes for multiple rides at the same time?

Woody

yes i got 4 fastpass tickets off of ebay which meant we had enough between us to get 3 fastpass tickets at a time but with the park tickets alone you can only get one fastpass

Thanks, Sam.

Great TR and photo's. We never really had a big problem with smokers or queue jumpers when we were there in May maybe we were just lucky or you were just unlucky. Looks like you had a good trip though. Now I must away to finish the last park day of my TR.

I've really enjoyed reading your reports.

I think you deserve a medal for taking your brother with you, next time you'll be able to have a wonderful romantic trip, just the two of you.
