OK this is the last part of my TR
On Friday morning we went the first time ever to the pool of the DLH. And as it was so early we were almost alone! The pool area is very nice but way to small for such a hotel. In the evening hours it must be stuffed!
After the relaxing at the pool we checked out and checked in at the Holiday Inn (were we want to spent the next two nights)
We spent the day in Paris and returned to the Studios at 8:30 because we were invited to the shareholders pre-premiere of CARS!
It was very cool to get into the studios after closing time. It was fun to walk through the closed Studio 1 to Cinemagic. The film was OK but can not be compared to Monsters Inc or Nemo!
On Saturday we were at 8:45am at the park and I thought that the park would be crowded today. But I never expected it soooooo much crowded. I already posted some pictures here how much the park was crowded! It was horrible! You needed 10 minutes to get a FP ticket for BTM, you needed 30 minutes to ride BTM with you FP ticket or you could get in line and wait 120 (!!!!!) minutes!
We only did a few rides because I would never wait 95 minutes to ride PM! They even had to extend the waiting line to boot hill because the waiting line in the PM area was full!!! I never saw anything like this before! For the parade 5 people stood behind each other in FL to watch! Usually you get an empty place for the parade at 3:55pm at FL! But not on this Saturday. We only did a view rides that day. The other time we just strolled around. But we waited 60 minutes for a ride on the boot which is only open on weekends. And I havent been on this since 2000! I took a lot of pictures! At 1pm we watched Tarzan for the 4th time and at 4pm we watched the parade from the 4th row!
At 5:30pm we had a reservation for the Auberge de Cendrillon. And after the trouble with the table in the almost empty restaurant we had a nice dinner. Starters and desserts are buffet and you order your main dish from the card! But if you take something special you have to pay extra! And so I had to pay 3 extra because I had Cinderellas Slipper for desert! (Remember the one at Walts is better!)
After that dinner we got back again in the heat! (It was a very hot summer day!)
And we did PM (waiting time at 7pm only 35minutes!) followed by Indiana Jones (40 minutes) and a last round of PM!
The waiting time for BTM was 60 minutes at 9pm! And that was too much for us, because we wanted to get a good place for the fireworks. And so after the last PM we did a little shopping at Mainstreet and then we found one last place at a park bench! At 10:15 Mainstreet was so crowded that you almost couldnt walk on it!
And at 11pm the fireworks started! It was a nice 5 minutes firework. Nothing special but it was worth it to wait!
Then we walked to the Holiday Inn because only one bus was operating! After a 30 minutes walk we went straight to bed.
On Sunday we had a very lousy breakfast at the Holiday Inn and afterwards we went to the Shopping village! And after a little shopping we drove home!
Altogether a wonderful stay; with very beautiful weather and a very crowded park the whole week.

Sorry you had to miss out on some of the rides because of the crowds, makes me worry a little...
.. (I have never waited more than 15 min to go on PM in august!)
