Goofy was waking us up again at 6.45am and we were soon heading down for another lovely breakfast.

We were in the park again for about 8.15am and the first thing we noticed was it was alot busier, okay it was a Saturday but we weren't expecting it to be so busy so early!! Good Job we got in for EMH!

We did manage to do Peter Pan twice, Buzz Light year twice although I swear my gun didn't work!! I kept firing at targets and nothing happened!! We also did the tea cups twice as well and had a good laugh trying to spin them as fast as possible!!

Again we left the park around 9.20am to head to the studios and whoa, it was packed in here!! We did join the queue for Crush which was larger than the previous day and we waited and waited and waited! Eventually around 10.20am a Cast Member moved down the line to inform everyone there was technical problems and an engineer had been called and wasn't on site yet!! For the forseeable future the ride was closed and actually each time we passed it was closed that day apart from one occasion where the queue time was 2 hours!!

We then queued 30 mins for Rock N Roller coaster and my mate and I moaned that we had been spoilt by hardly any queues on our previous 2 days!!:(

We then decided as the Studios were getting even more busier to leave and do some shopping in the Disney Village and head back to the hotel for a nice swim.

The Pool at the Sequoia was lovely and we paid € 2 to hire a towel, the lockers were free. One thing we didn't like was getting out of the Jacuzzi and having to swim in the cold pool to get out!!! Also there were no bags for our wet swimsuits so we dried them out in the sauna for a bit!! We also had a surprise visit from Minnie Mouse whilst we were sitting in the Jacuzzi!! :rolleyes1

We got back into the Park for around 3pm and headed over to Discoveryland to watch the Lion King but the theatre was full but remembering tips from this board we ran around to Cafe Hyperion and grabbed a drink and sat and watched it from there, it was a brilliant show and we didn't mind that we saw it from a little further away.

We dashed over to BTM to get a fastpass and were rather horrified that at 4.30pm the Fastpass return time was 8.30pm - eek!!

We had a 5pm sitting at Walts and a window table so we could watch the parade, Wow, the food was lovely, more details about the food on Walts thread. It was fantastic to watch the parade from the Window sitting down in comfort!! The Fairy God mother waved up to us attracting the attention of Cruella de Ville who came and shook her fists at us, it was so funny *** we were laughing and she seemed to get more annoyed!! The Parade was wonderful to see and my mate and I kept humming Just like we dreamed it whilst eating!!

After eating we wondered to Fantasyland and rode Its a small world which was wonderful, its so cute and I expect everyone comes out humming the tune!! Next we headed over to Frontierland and went on the River boat as the queue wasn't that bad. We had tried to see if we could queue for BTM but the queue time was 90 mins!! At last it was time for our Fastpass for BTM and we had to queue over the bridge and along before crossing back over the bridge!! It took us about 20 mins to load onto the mine train!

After our one ride on BTM:( for that day we walked back into Fantasyland and did Its a small world again and then mutually agreed to head out of the park. It was only about 9.15 but the Park was so so heaving that you had to queue for at least 30 mins for most rides, if not longer and we decided we would just end up wandering around the park for no reason really as we wouldn't be able to get on any of the rides. As we were heading to Paris tomoorow for the day we decided an early night would be in order so we had a drink in the Redwood Bar and headed off to our room for a much needed sleep!!:)
 
Sounds like a nice day, despite the queues!

Wow Minnie mouse turning up in the swimming area LOL. Does she usually make these grand appearences?
 
We certainly were not expecting to see any characters around the swimming pool!! And not whilst we were sat in the Jacuzzi either!! Minnie seemed to want to stay and have a chat whilst we were trying to slunk further down in the Jacuzzi!!
