First part of the delayed trip report (some little angels got in the way - 5 days of under 5's after 5 days of Disney is enough to exhaust anyone! Wow thats a lot of 5's....)
Who are we?
Annabel : 18 years old, 6th time at Disney (remembers going the year it opened!), 7 years since last visit
Amie : 18 years old, 3rd time at Disney, 7 months since last visit
We're basically two students who thought it'd be a good idea to spend our loan on one of the best trips we've been on ever
DAY 0
Met at Leeds station at 11pm to get the 23.29 to Manchester - Amie's mum gets jealous and wants to come too!
Blurry pic of us waiting for the train
Train delayed by three minutes - GRR!!
Get on the packed train to find that a man and his suitcase are sitting in our seats which we reserved over two weeks ago - further GRR!!!!
He refuses to move, even though our ticket blatantly says they're our seats. He even asks if we're on the right train! (The cheek of it!! The amount of preparation that went into the planning of this trip - of course we were on the right train!!)
We stand right next to him in the aisle trying to look intimidating - but with one of us in pigtails and the other with multicoloured hair, we failed miserably. And got annoyed looks from other passengers. Blame him, not us!
The ticket conductor comes along the train to our rescue - the obnoxious man tries to tell him that we're on the wrong coach / wrong train altogether!
The result of this man's behaviour : FREE UPGRADE!!!
FIRST CLASS!!!! Doesn't Amie look pleased
The conductor is an angel and sends us down the train to the first class carriage : If Mr Obnoxious is reading this, Amie and myself would like to send our sincerest thankyous. The carriage was deserted (one passenger other than ourselves, who kindly took a photo :-D), with loads of space for my oversized rucksack and Amie's suitcase
A great start to the trip - now only if the coach was this spacious...
We're off to Disney! We're in first class! Happy times!
More first class fun
Trip report writing - we were organised about it for the first few hours.... then it all went to pot lol
Angus, Amie's bear : A Disney veteran, wearing his sailor suit (bought by Amie's mother), so that he can go sailing with all his friends from Newport Bay on Disney Lake. Don't ask. The reasoning behind this scares even me.
