Day7
Up bright and early and found ourselves standing outside the Magic Kingdom wide awake and raring to go at 7.40am. Had to show our room keys to get in. The aim of today is to see if we can manage to do every attraction in the park in one day.
We were very close to the rope so we got a good start when it finally dropped. Lots of people ran, we powered walked, thought we would look sad running towards Dumbo without a child in tow. We walked straight onto Dumbo at 8.01am, you get a good view from Dumbo of the demolision taking place at the old under the sea ride, cant remember its name. Once off Dumbo we rode Peter Pan, Winnie the Pooh and then the tea cups. From the tea cups we were supposed to head to Snow White but I noticed the Speedway was opened so we went there instead. It already had a 15 minute wait but at least at this time the heat was bearable. Our plan was going along smoothly until the car in front of us broke down meaning we were stuck. After what seemed like hours but was probably only minutes the occupant of the car was rescued by a CM and we were soon on our way again. By now it was 8.50am so we headed over to Frontierland to wait for the rope drop to get to the mountains.
When we reached the mountains we discovered Big Thunder was closed and no-one seemed to know when it might re-open. Couldnt get near the fast pass machine at Splash so we decided we would use one of the fast passes we got the other night when we complained about Audrey and would ride later. Decided to go and conquer Adventure Land. Went to Pirates of the Caribbean first and I was given an electronic card at the entrance to hand over to the CM as I boarded the ride, this is how they monitor the wait time. I felt very special (I can be a sad person at times). After Pirates we went to Jungle Cruise and our skipper was the hilarious Nathan who was earning his ears. He was brilliant, absolutely hysterical. When we got to the end of the ride we had to wait before he could get to the dock as they were bringing out another boat. CM Christopher who was on the dock at the time entertained us by doing some Highland dancing. When we eventually docked CM Christopher, who was trying to be cool, jumped into our boat however he lost his footing and almost fell flat on his face. He did recover with style and dignity and a red face!!! We all laughed. Next up was Aladdin which was just like Dumbo only we could tilt, no more to say really. Then we climbed the Swiss Family Treehouse and climbed down again. Why is the kitchen at the bottom and the dining room at the top? Wouldnt the food be cold by the time they got it up all those stairs?
The tiki room show had just started so we decided to come back later for this and went over to Country Bears Jamboree. We timed this perfectly and walked right in. Fell asleep after a few minutes. After my snooze we grabbed some popcorn (we did pay for it we didnt just grab) and went onto the Liberty Belle. Tricia took lots of photographs and I ate the popcorn whilst sitting in the smallest bit of shade I could find, lots of people fell over me. It was getting really HOT now, when we got off the Belle we went over and joined the line for Goofys Country Dancin Jamboree. The air conditioning was very welcome. Was enjoying the show and was wondering when they added smoke effects when I realised that it wasnt smoke it was blurriness and this was due to my right contact lens falling out. Managed to catch it and pop it into contact lens storage thing. Left here and went over to Columbia Harbour House for lunch. I was so hungry, I had only had one breakfast and some popcorn. Tricia ordered while I went to wash my hands and put my lens back in. Lunch was lovely, I had a tuna sandwich and Tricia had ham and cheese (not sure if they didnt have chicken on the menu). After lunch we went to Hall of Presidents.
Over to Tom Sawyers Island next and had a walk around and reapplied suncream. Also noticed that Thunder mountain was up and running. Off the island and onto Thunder Mountain using fast pass from complaining about Audrey and then onto Splash using last remaining fast pass from complaining about Audrey. (E-mail from Disney to say they are investigating the complaint and will get back to me within a few weeks. If they dont I will be contacting them again). After the mountains which were awesome we went onto the train, had to let the first train go while I ate my Itzakadoozie or whatever its called. Got off the train at Toontown and went to visit Mickey and Minnies houses. Minnie was in her garden with Pluto but Mickey was out, think he was away to Walmart for some groceries because his cupboards were bare. He is a very trusting mouse leaving his house open for strangers to wander in and out, good job his furniture is nailed to the floor. Next we went to Donalds boat which still doesnt have any water then I had a shot on Goofys barnstormer. Tricia wont ride this anymore, she id it once and was terrified, shell do Tower of Terror but this scares her.
Next up we got a spot on Main Street for the parade. We were both really hot and in need of a break so we decided to head back to the hotel for an hour after the parade. Parade was good but I still prefer Magical Moments parade. Waved to Tigger and did a high five with Chip or Dale. Left park with the masses and got on the bus just as the rain started. Thunder and lightning had kicked in by the time we got to Port Orleans. Got something to eat in food court and then ran through the puddles and bouncing rain back to room after waiting for almost an hour for the lightning to stop. We were soaked, and when the air conditioning in the room hit us, freezing. Turned the heating on but the room smelt like the building was burning so we put air con back on but turned it down and I got into bed. Found Harry Potter on TV and started to watch it. We both fell asleep and when I woke up it was 7.15pm.
We decided there was no point in returning to Magic Kingdom to complete our mission as we didnt have enough time left so at 8pm we got the bus to Downtown Disney, we were going to go on the boat but it was closed. We had fun shopping and used the discount on our APs. Good savings in World of Disney when you spend amounts that we do. Also got an AP discount at Basin. Had a wander through Pleasure Island and watched 80z Stars. Didnt stay till the end of their performance, wasnt that impressed. Got bus back to hotel at 11pm and had some pizza on our return and then went to bed.
