[xox_Violet_xox]

Me: (13) Head Navigator, shopaholic and hater of IASM (don’t shoot me!)
Sarah: (10) All-round princess , scaredy-cat and lover of IASM
Dad: (jmichael1) Chief-payer, head chauffeur and basically in-charge
Mum: (Wouldn’t You like To Know!) Disney-fanatic (although she will not admit it) and pin-collecting genious


Thump.
Ouch.
“Saraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhh!!!!”
Oh yes DS had rolled me off of the bed and onto the floor to wake me up.
“I’m gonna kill you!!!!” and with that she was off. I finally captured her and pinned her to the floor.
"Do you surrender???"
" mumble......mumble..... GRRRRRR!!"
"EeeeeeK!" I screamed and jumped off of her as she was baring her vampire-like teeth at me!

10 mins later

"Where are my denim shorts!!!!???? Ahhh!!!!"
Sarah was looking a bit shifty as she was standing in the corner with a towel wrapped around her waist.
"Fine! You can wear them!!"

After that we set off on the 10 min. trek around to Old Port Royale for some well-deserved breakfast

Yum.Waffles. I LIVE for Mickey waffles! Wait is that......... nope no it isn't
just had the funniest feeling that one of the guys in my class was here. Maybe not.
Hee hee people watching is fun
anyways back to my delish brekkie!
Waffles. yum. Maple syrup.Yum.Pancake.Yum.Apple Juice.Yum
All in all a fabby breakfast!

As we had managed to get round to the food-court before the crowds had strted we were soon on our way to the MK. Cheerfull greetings from a dude at the Entrance to the car park and we were off to get a parking spot. Yay!!! Wow this is a lovely parking spot! Oh there's the train thing!!!!!!
All aboard!

On approaching the TTC we discuss whether to hop on the monorail or jump on the boat.
Boat me thinks......Glad we did just watching the surge of people heading towards the monorail makes me shudder.

Aaahhhh. The lovely-ness of a cool breeze. i like looking out at the approaching Park!!!! Oh...... we are here!!!


Quick bag-check at the entrance...
"Yes okay Mum i really didn't need all of the things in there!"

Sarah runs ahead as she is first through the ticket barriers shouting
"I'm gonna get a map before you!!!!!!!!!"
I thought i had won the race for a map until i saw Sarah standing with the parents waving a map in the air. And we set off up Main Street just taking it all in then veering to the right slightly for the route up to Fantasyland.

"Muummmm........"
"What Sarah?"
"Why are there no people outside IASW???"
I butted in "Because it's closed for refurb. Shame that isn't it?"I said with a smile.

A few rides later

"Can we go to the Tinkerbell shop?Can we go to the Tinkerbell shop? Can we......." Sarah nagged
"Daaddddd....."I said
"Whaatttttt???"
"If we don't go to the Tinkerbell shop then Sarah will explode and i don't think the nice CM's will want to be cleaning up bits of Sarah......"
"Right...fine we'll go to the Tink shop"
"Yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

After a few minutes of walking around the little shop I decide that i need the loo and head off towards the nearest one.
Actually this is only an excuse for cute guy spotting. an opportunity which cannot be missed!!! Yum....no......maybe....no....too.young......too.old...YUM!

I find the crew standing at the till paying for some cute Tink thing and after a little bit of disagreement from Sarah we walk towards my all-time favourite ride.


Ahhhh. the familiar smell of the ride i love the most. Pirates of the Caribbean. Taking the left-hand route to queue (we found that there is a shorter waiting space and that most people are inclined to take the right hand route.) we just walk straight down and onto a waiting boat. Look no queue!!! Haa haaa!!!

The sound of the sound effects and the screams of the unsuspecting buccaneers as they reach that disguised drop that may soak you if you duck!! Are wonderful memories! Watch out Water-cannon! Oh look! Hahaaa remember that from last year

There are the occaisional flashes from cameras which rather annoy me. Grrr.....

Time for a spot of lunch I think.
Off to Mrs.Potts ice-cream place!

I always have the same thing here. A Strawberry sundae. They are just too yummy!!! Y'see we normally have just ice-cream for lunch as we are all nearly dropping from heat-exhaustion. More people watching.
Hmmm would have worn that tee-shirt with a diff. pair of shorts.
and just the usual banter going on.......

After lunch

Tired. *Yawn* we shall come back in the evening another night. Still a bit tired after the plane journey.

Back at CBR Sarah and i jump out of the car raxce to the room pull on our swim-suits grab the parents-mustn't forget them! and head for the Barbados pool.

2hrs worth of splashing and look! I can do a handstand! later we head back to get changed then jump round to Old Port Royale for dinner which for me was chicken with potato wedges, a yohgurt and some fanta (yummm) then taking a detour on the way home to bury Sarah in the sand (an improvement) then back to the room for "Who's line is it anyway?" and Sleeeppp

I need my sleeeeep


Sarah had better not think of rolling me out of bed tomorrow

What a great start. Can't believe you're only 13 and can write that well. Made me giggle as I remember boy watching was far more important than sisterly bonding at 13 Keep the reports coming though, can't wait to read more. Thanks for the POTC tip.

I'm having to post this on this thread as i can't seem to make a new thread!!!

The Crew:

Me: (13) Head Navigator, shopaholic and hater of IASM (don’t shoot me!)
Sarah: (10) All-round princess , scaredy-cat and lover of IASM
Dad: (jmichael1) Chief-payer, head chauffeur and basically in-charge
Mum: (Wouldn’t You like To Know!) Disney-fanatic (although she will not admit it) and pin-collecting genious

I woke up this morning making sure that the bed was still there and I wasn’t lying on the floor and just hadn’t noticed yet.
We got up did the usual morning routine, got dressed and headed out for breakfast. Sarah charging onto a hammock and then proceeding to fall off the other side onto the slightly damp sand.

Breakfast this morming……more Mickey waffles and pancakes. Maybe I should try and vary my diet……..hmmm let’s think, NO! Seriously these are just to yummy not to eat!
Also managed to eat my way through some cereal and some pineapple. Yum!

Go for a first look in the shop. Good stuff in here! Nice earrings, tee-shirts….wow everything is nice here!!!!
Back to the room to get blocked-up and then head off to MGM

Ahh…..MGM my dad’s favourite park. Decide to make our way up to the sorcerer mickey hat then go to the Great Movie Ride.
I like this ride, except for the Wizard of Oz bit. That is just plain freaky ~shudder~
The follow the yellow brick road nonsense does my head in!!!! I always avoid it when it is on the TV.
Anyways, back to the ride. It was fun especially when you are up the front and talk to the driver about life, the universe, and how actually you drive this thingymabob.
It’s even more fun annoying the “bad” guy!

Next we head off to the Backlot Tour. After watching unsepecting “volunteers” getting soaked we head off to get onto the tram. Muggins here forgets that you might get wet if you are sitting on the right side and automatically gets in first. Ooops. I only discover this just as we pull away from the platform and are told to remain in our seats. I pull on my light blue jacket and prepare to get wet.

With my nose dripping slightly I am promised that we will get pictures of me beside the things from the set of Pirates of the Caribbean later and head off to see the Muppet Show.

Later

After The Muppet Show and The Little Mermaid one we decide to get some ice-cream at Dinosaur Gertie’s Ice-cream Of Extinction and sit at one of the green metal tables. Then we go and get FP’s for Star Tours and go and get those pictures taken.

“Where are we going next????” Sarah asks
“Beauty and the Beast????”
“Yeaahhhhhh!!”

Dad buys us popcorn and we sit and watch Beauty and the Beast.
Ahh…..the wonderous thing that is Air Con! Where one earth would we be without it!?

With a few stops at the Villians shop and other shops down that way(We totally missed out TOT as I have and extreme fear of lifts and that would be a “bad thing” to go on) then go and see the parade.

Our FP time for Star Tours has come around and we get on it fairly quickly, meeting another family on the way in before taking our seats and buckling ourselves in.
A few years back we had sat down, the CM had left the room bit and we were all waiting expectantly for the ride to begin. After five minutes we heard a banging on the door and discovered that there was a slight problem in getting the ride to start. Fortunatley everything turned out okay!
Now, my mum does NOT like this ride because of the motion. Personally I love it! It’s great!! Just all the excitement of getting thrown about is great!!!!

Leaving Star Wars (with a slightly green looking mum) we head towards 50s Prime Time, where our PS for the night was. We get in just as it starts to rain, and find ourselves a “living room” in that waiting area and meet a family of a daughter, parents and grandparents. So Mum and Dad get talking to the grandparents and parents and Sarah gets talking to the little girl. So I am left on my own. Pity, well not really just and excuse to go people-watching!
Wait….we have been called! Let’s go and eat!!

After

I can’t move…..too full!!!!! No seriously, I may have to get rolled home! I take my light up ice-cube out of the cup and pocket it. We pay our bill say bye to “Mom” then quickly buy some pins and head up towards the Fantasmic Entrance. We are seated and I am sent for some popcorn.We start to get restless so…..
“Sarah-Catch!!!”
“Eeeeek!” Sarah squeals and ducks as a light-up ice-cube goes flying past her head and onto the ground
“No Sarah, catch it not watch it fly past you! Pick it up before we lose it!”
She reluctantly picks it up just as the lights come up on stage and the performance begins

Getting out of there wasn’t that hard! Okay it was a bit crowded but hey, that’s life. We head back to CBR, crawl into bed, watch “Whose Line Is It Anyway” again and go to sleep.

What will we do tomorrow I wonder…..hmmmmm??

 

[MazdaUK]

Another great report! Your mum is a saint to go on Star Tours - just the thought makes me queasy We'd have to do parent-swap
