Day 1
Day 2
Monday 5 August
We hadn’t slept particularly well – that’s normal for me when we’re away, but usually everyone else sleeps ok. I noticed that the curtains weren’t fully blackout and was awake early. The curtains didn't seem wide enough for the space, no matter how hard I tried to make them fit.
After a long day travelling and a late night last night we’d agreed before going to sleep that we weren’t going to do EMH. Instead we had a leisurely morning and made our way around the lake at about 10:30ish.
It was another lovely warm morning, some clouds around but still nice.
One of the reasons I insist on walking to the parks.......look at the queue of people waiting to get through security from the bus/train station in front of World of Disney!
Salon Mickey was our first stop. The crowds outside made me think at first that lots of other people had the same idea, but they were queuing to get into the park, not Salon Mickey. The CM was very nice and originally was confused by our Annual Passes as they have a block-out day. Once I gave her the hotel easy passes she was able to validate them easily and we enjoyed our breakfast with only 2 other people in the room.
Full up it was almost 11am now, and we went into the park. The plan today was to try and see the Lion King show in Frontierland theatre. There was a showing at 12:30 so we had some time to wait.
First up was Discoveryland to do Buzz, lots of fun on here as usual.
Our first castle photo of the trip.
We made our way to Frontierland and could already see long queues for the show. I’d already seen the popcorn buckets on Twitter so made sure we got one as we headed for the show.
Not sure how the priority pass worked (or if it worked at all) Abbey went to the front of the queue and spoke to a CM who said we could queue in a separate area. We joined this, but in hindsight we could have waited until about 20-25 minutes before. There was also a queue beside us that was for the people who had purchased the Lion King Signature Experience.
