Day 3
Cast:
Me (28)
DH Fed (35)
DD Abigail (3)
DS Sebastian (2)
We learned our lesson yesterday and didnt push for 7.00am breakfast we got there around 7.40am and found it to be VERY busy.
After breakfast we headed back to the room to pack and prepare, we then checked out and took our luggage to our car before going to the park, we didnt get to the park until 9.30am.
We went to fantasy land again for a ride on the carousel and then fast passes for peter pan before lining up for Dumbo, it was much more enjoyable today without the rain!!
We then did teacups again before going down to Main Street to see the characters, I really wanted to see Eeyore (note I wanted to see him and not the kids!! Lol) we waited on a bench in the plaza and fed was taking photos of the Castle.
When the Characters got off the cars we followed Eeyore but he already had a gaggle of people around him, we were waiting patiently and getting pushed and shoved but he saw us and called us through to him which was nice.
Got a photo and a hug, Sebastian again didnt want to go near but Abigail was all for cuddles lol, we then tried to see rabbit and Piglet but it was no use so we gave up!! We went to see the dragon after this but the kids were scared so we didnt stay long!!!
We then went to adventure land and had a wonder round we decided to chance taking the kids on POTC, they didnt like the dark tunnel at first but as soon as we were o the boat they were ok and even enjoyed it.
It was then time for Peter Pan so we went back to Fantasy land. After this the kids were getting hungry so we went to Pinocchios for lunch. We then went to the shops on main street while the kids slept in the buggy and I bought some souvenirs for us and the kids to take home.
We then went for a walk around discovery land, the kids slept loads they must have been shattered!! Lol
They woke up finally when it was time to get places for the parade, I got Abigails snow white dress on and Sebastian refused to wear all peter pans outfit but was ok with just the hat a sword!! Still watched the parade from near IASW but not in the exact place as the other day (which we later regretted) during the parade Hook, Smee and the pirates saw that Seb was dressed as Pan and came over to him but Sebastian had a grouch face on the whole time!!! We then has a sword fight with the pirates before they went on. The wicked queen from the baddies float spotted Abigail and pointed at her and wailed!! Abigail was a bit surprised!!! Near the end of the parade a nice CM came over to say hello to the kids and after the streamers fell he came over to give one to them.
Next was IASW this was our last ride
It was time to leave as we didnt want to start off home too late, I got a couple of cookies and doughnuts for the trip home!!!
It was different driving home after a long day, Fed has to make a lot of stops and drink lots of red bull and coffee to keep awake!! We got home at about 3.30am
Final thoughts
I loved every second!! So did the kids they had such a magical time.
We didnt pick a great week to go though as there were no shows on, the central plaza was all boarded up ready for preparations for Mickeys party! Fed said he expected more magic but I think going at a time when actual celebrations are on would be different.
I was a little disappointed that Casy Jr ride didnt open the whole time we were there despite it not being programmed as shut and also the Pooh show wasnt on either when in the programme it said it was.
I think some characters were on holiday too as Pooh, Minnie & Daisy were nowhere to been seen other than the parades.
All in all cant wait to go back, next time when its not so cold!!!! Even Fed is willing to return at some point so mission accomplished
