Day 3 Tuesday 10th November

ok so next morning we were all exhausted again and ash was a bit cranky.I phoned down to reception to detail my problem with the room and i wanted it cleaned by the time we got back in the evening. Ash didnt even want to get up and get dressed but she met pluto in the santa fe which lifted her spirits a bit.

We missed breakfast again so headed to salon mickey which would be lovely if ash would stay there for more than three minutes

We queued up to meet Goofy Santa as i was determined to get stuff done today. He was a bit late but there were only three in front of us in the queue so we werent waiting too long.

We had a look in the shops in main street again for my mam. She still doesnt get that they all sell the same thing bless her lol.

We went into the shop by snow whites ride and ash chose a crown and wand to match her dress. We then went on the pinnochio ride which ash decided she didnt like again. Next up was the carousel and then the tea cups.

I had been trying to txt emma again but my phone had gone wonky. We went to the belle meet and greet to find the beast there instead. Ash wasnt too sure at first but me the cm and the beast told her it was ok, he wasnt scary *** he turns into a prince if you kiss him. So ash took a pic and then he called her back for a kiss lol. Later in the week ash tried to convice kyra that the beast wasnt scary but she wasnt having any of it lol.

Then we had to try meet up with my aunt who did three rounds of the park on the train before she realised what was the fantasyland stop. We went back to the meet and greet area to meet belle.

We were walking through fantasyland when we noticed some characters were out. We bumped into emma and krya again as where else would they be but in a character scum

Me and ash went upstairs in the castle to have a look and we saw the dancers for the sleeping beauty show

As i was walking downstairs i noticed the snow white show was starting so we went to watch that. Me and ash really liked it, it was cute. Afterwards the characters come down by a rope to take pics. Ash met dopey which she loved as he is her fave dwarf

Then the funniest thing happened. Snow White and her prince were walking up and down waving. Next the prince grabbed snow whites arm and pointed straight at ash and her dress and literally ran right over. He looked so excited bless him

Everyone decided they were starving so we headed to the village to have lunch at the rainforest. My aunt didnt enjoy this at all, which was sort of annoying as i had showed her the menu and the prices before we went in. I dont moan about money at disney as i know what i am going to spend before i go. In any case ash had lasagne and ate loads, my and my mam loved ours and we even got a table next to the elephant which ash loved. We had the same lovely waitress as last time and we even had a discount voucher thanks to a kind diser. So all in all a good meal for me.

PART 2 COMING UP

Another great day - well done you even after the spider invasion! your little girl looks soo pretty in her Disney dresses - so glad snow white's prince noticed her! I wish my DD was more into dressing up - but she never was so very unlikely that will change for our next trip!

SORRY THIS TOOK SO LONG!!

PART 2

After lunch we had a look in some shops in the village and i checked the schedule to see what we would do next. We had missed stars and cars again and i was not happy lol. We decided to go see the next showing of mickeys winter wonderland show. Me and ash love it and my aunt hadnt seen it yet.

Afterwards we had a wonder around fronteirland and adventureland. My mam and aunt wanted to go on potc and i noticed ash was being a bit too quiet. Heres why lol

They went on the ride while i looked in the shop. We had a look in some shops making our way back to main st. it was close to five and my mam and aunt had had enough for the day. i had been trying to txt emma so i said i would catch up with them later. Of course my phone was acting up and sending messages twenty minutes later so i didnt catch up with emma. As ash was still asleep i watched the ouad parade.

Then the tree lighting ceremony

After deciding there wasnt much left to do on my own with a sleeping child i left the park at 6.30. Then i realised i couldnt ring my mam to see was she in the hotel room. The thought of going back there alone made me a little ill so i was desperate to think of something to do. Ash woke up with ahem a little help from me and i begged her to come into cafe mickey. She insisted she wasnt hungry and i really wasnt either so we made our way back to the hotel.

Our room hadnt been touched and the bugs were still there and even some new ones. I rang reception again and a little more forceful this time as i was at the end of my tether with the hotel. A few minutes later the night manager came to our room. He rang reception and told them to put the room out of order. He gave us the option of moving to the next block and having dinner in the hotel for free or move to the sequioa which i jumped at. I had already contemplated upgrading at a cost myself.



We packed our stuff up again third time lucky lol. We went to reception and the manager brought us to the sequioa in his car. We had to wait about twenty minutes but it was worth it. We got a montana room with a lake view. I could see cm studio 2 and panaramagique.

As you can see ash was very happy to get out of the spidery bug hotel as she now calls it

Another late night for us as it was gone 11 by the time we got into the room. Thank god ash had had two hours sleep already.

DAY FOUR - WEDNESDAY 11TH NOVEMBER

I woke up this morning definately more positive. we loved the hotel and couldnt wait to get down to breakfast.

i love that they seat you and there is a much better selection of food than the santa fe. yey for individual yoghurts ash got a pic with eeyore and she didnt want to leave him. he was rocking her in his lap like a baby so cute

we found our way outside not noticing the teeny tiny elevator to take you to down to the breakfast area and also the way to walk to the parks. whats with this elevator its super small and a bit strange to only have one ok promise that is my only complaint lol

we headed to the park and did some fantasyland rides like dumbo, cups, carousel. i was txting emma and she said she was in the studios so we headed over there. my mam and aunt were going to val deurope today so after we watched merry christmas walt disney studios and met cruella it was time for me to walk my mam back to the train station to meet my aunt. i had to borrow her phone as mine had packed up lol. we had been queuing to meet some characters but i had to go and when i came back emma was still in the queue so yes i got back in line

after that we went to meet sulley. ash and kyra had a great time driving me and emma bananas in the queue lol.

next up was donald

i had a reservation at walts but didnt fancy eating there on my own so i asked emma could we join her and kyra at cafe mickey. the girls had a great time together and me and ash enjoyed our pizza again. emma had some sort of alcohol burger that i cant quite figure out

after cafe mickey we headed back to the main park and watched mmpt show. the girls were dancing around the place having a great time. a bit hard to get good pics though

TO BE CONTINUED

Awww the pics of the girls are so cute!

DAY FOUR PART 2

so after the mmp show emma had to meet up with her friend and she also needed to buy some presents without kyra seeing them. ash was more than happy to keep her occupied she really thinks they are now best friends lol

ash saw some headbands and things and wanted to try them on

after some sneaky shopping we all decided to character stalk together. this is where ash tried to convince kyra that the beast isnt scary but that girl knows her mind she wasnt budging. the girls ran around for a while and soon belle came out.

next up we saw mary poppins who was lovely and asked ash did she take her spoonful of sugar.

then we headed towards adventureland to find aladdin. he came out and went straight into the agrabah cafe and emma got some nice pics but ash was hanging back. aladdin came out and saw her and tried to take her hand to bring her over to the meet and greet spot but bless her she nearly lost her life. she thought he was trying to take her away from me. he said if she changed her mind to come right over to him. ash didnt lol and that wasnt our last run in with aladdin

emmas friend then had to go so we headed over for the woody meet and greet. this was just a disaster. instead of having it inside woodys roundup village where people can queue he was outside. we were already queuing inside so had to run out. there was loads of pushing it was horrible but woody was brilliant. he made everyone make a circle around him and he put his hand over his eyes and spun around. luckily the first person he stopped at was ash. poor emma and kyra had to wait ages. even in this pic you can see some kid trying to shove his teddy at woody.

at this stage time was pushing on and emma still had money to spend so we had a look around the shops. ash had fallen asleep so we watched the parade and i got a chance to film it yey. after that it was time for emma to head to the train station so i walked out with her. i headed back to the hotel and met my mam and aunt who had finished their shopping in val deurope. they got loads. we walked my aunt back to the cheyanne and then caught the bus back to the park.

ash woke up and wanted to go on buzz as usual. by the time we got to the park it had gotten ridiculously cold. it was the only time i was cold all week. i bought ash the giant minnie fuzzy hat from earlier to keep her warm lol. we went on buzz and then decided we couldnt stick the cold, ash was shivering. so we headed back to out hotels and my aunt said she would come down to us later for a drink in the bar.

it was really lovely not having to wrap up to leave your room. i got a glowtini and i wish i could find my glowcube it was 14 euros but nice for a once off. i headed up to the room with ash after that and got her settled in for bed.

 

[chickenlittleuk]

DAY 5 THURSDAY 12TH NOVEMBER

today we made it for breakfast for a change. it was nice being seated and the selection of food was good. after that we headed back upstairs to grab our coats and bags bliss

goofy was doing a meet and greet so ash queued up

we headed into the main park first and saw the horsedrawn streetcars were out.

we went to fantasyland and did our usual rides.

we went on potc hoping ash would get over her fear of the drop. again ash was terrified lol. i just need to convince her the drop is small then she loves the rest of it

she wanted to buy this

after this my mam went off to get my aunt and they spent some time looking in shops. my mam was still searching for this all elusive red tin that nobody but her saw. my aunt didnt want to go to cafe mickey so it was just me and ash.

as i was heading out for my cafe mickey reservation we bumped into one of the ugly sisters leaving a meet and greet. we ran over and asked for a quick photo she was so nice and spent time chatting with ash asking about her dress.

after that i really had to run for my cm reservation. ash was so happy to go back. this is her fave place to eat.

we met a good few characters again. mostly the same as yesterday but ash didnt mind.

afterwards i made a mad dash for the studios to try catch stars and cars. a very nice woman let us squeeze in when i told her my dd decked out in her ariel dress wand and crown had been hoping to get a pic with her. we stood at the side by cinemagique. we didnt have a great view of the show but saw a lot of characters. ariel was walking around and i jumped around like a lunatic while pointing at ash hoping she would see her. she did and i was so grateful, it made ashleighs day.

she also got a pic with woody
