The mad girlie spur of the moment trip - Day 1

Day 1

Hollywood Studios and Magic Kingdom

As expected we were up early - 7:30am, way too early considering we were up fairly late the night before... We probably should have just turned over and gone back to sleep but WE WERE IN DISNEYWORLD! Sleep is not important We hopped out of bed and got dressed, Jen had a quick shower and hair wash and we were soon ready to go.

We wandered round to the boat dock and took some pics along the way and while we waited.











We didn't have to wait long for the boat and we were off!







HS was quiet this morning, we hadn't had any breakfast yet so we headed to starring rolls, stopping on the way for a a few pics.









I grabbed a croissant (cant remember what Jen had). Jen did manage to snap a pic of all the St Patrick's day cupcakes though



First stop was over to TSM. As we arrived the ride was closed though but a few people were mulling around outside so we decided to give it a few mins before wandering off to something else, 5 mins later they opened the queue line and we were about 20th in the queue! For some reason they gave me one of these...



Not really sure whey they bothered when the queue had only just opened but hey ho





I won which was novel for me, seeing as I have no chance against Sy (men have an advantage in the arm action ), Jen did get a better accuracy though.

Jenny got a drink of the adult kind outside even though it was only about 11am We grabbed a quick pic with a green army man, he did make Jenny hide her drink behind him for the pic though so think they must not be allowed if the guest is holding a drink or something? Who knows!





We then wandered round to the streets of America and to the Muppets. We stopped on the way as Mike and Sulley didn't have much of a wait.





We then wandered through the streets of America





And grabbed a pic outside the Muppets



Muppets was brilliant as usual. We then had a mooch round the shops outside. It was now about lunchtime and our light breakfast seemed a long time ago. We decided to try for a walk up in Sci-Fi and we were lucky! We were seated almost instantly. We had time to get one quick pic outside before the buzzer went off.



Here are just a few of the many pics we took inside





Jenny with her long island iced tea



Our server very kindly took this one for us



I had the chicken BLT with sweet potato fries, Jen had the cottage pie. I wasn't a huge fan of the fries as they had cinnamon on them and I'm not keen oh well. They were nice enough.





Unfortunately I wasn't too well after eating so we paid and decided to make our way back to the hotel for a swim. I did start to feel better once we were outside, Jen stopped for a cigarette in the smoking area and I sat in the sun for 5 mins and started to feel better instantly - I obviously just needed some of that Florida sunshine

We hopped on the boat back to the Beach Club. Back at the hotel we quickly got changed and headed down to the pool. It was gloriously sunny but still a chill in the air when you were wet but out of the water.... I blame that very statement for the fact I got SO burnt. I was red raw, some of the nastiest sun burn i have ever got, I am still peeling now The ironic fact was that I said we needed to get out as I thought Jenny was getting burnt!!

A few pics playing in the pool.











Unfortunately when it came to getting out of the tubes, Jen didn't realise we were in a deep part of water and she went completely under :O She wasn't happy as it meant another hair wash lol I didn't giggle too loudly We've all been there though



We sat by the pool for a little bit drying off - Jen got a few cocktails I believe - before heading back to our room to get changed and for Jenny to wash her hair Once we were dressed we headed out to Magic Kingdom

First stop was at Tony's to see my friend and drop off all the English treats for him. We also got a pic with this little man while we waited...



James came out eventually though and I left him with a big bag full of goodies he promised to share...

We then headed down Main Street just as the Move It, Shake It, parade was going past so we watched it for a bit. It was then that I learned Jen wasn't keen on Parades, whoops! She didn't mind watching though.





We grabbed a quick photo op outside after.



We then made our way to Fantasyland as we had a fastpass for Ariel meet and greet.





We also went to watch Storytime with Belle, Mickey's philharmagic and Monster's inc Laugh Floor. Jen bought a crown in the shop by Gaston's tavern.





It was starting to get dark so off we went to ride Dumbo and then BTM







I did get a little photobomb at BTM



If you are wondering why we were the wrong side of the platform, I was on mum's scooter this evening and the wheelchair friendly entrance is via the exit.

We got a spot beside the plaza to watch Wishes and I Skyped Sy so he could watch them too Afterwards they opened up the exits behind the shops along main street so we hot footed it outta there sharpish so we didn't have to queue for ages at the bus. We didn't have to wait long for a bus and we were the first in the queue bonus!

We were back in the room in no time and fell into bed straight away

Tomorrow, Epcot!
