Trip Report Part 5

[Ware Bears]

Today we finally all made it down to breakfast!!! We had chosen an early time slot to avoid the crowds but never seemed to manage to get up in time for it! There was plenty to eat – cereals, juices, rolls, croissants, preserves or you could buy a cooked English for an extra 6 euros. The continental breakfast was fine, couldn’t be faulted.

We got to the park for 9am and enjoyed walking up Main Street whilst it was so quiet. We did Star Tours again, then Bryan went to queue for Lion King tickets whilst the rest of us did Orbitron, and IASW. We then went back to meet Bryan and waited outside the Videopolis for the doors to open. We were the first in the queue but it was worse than a rugby scrum when the doors opened. Luckily Bryan legged it down to the front and managed to get front row seats. This was an excellent show, we really enjoyed it and it was definitely worth the wait. Simba shook Francesca’s hand which really made her day.

After the show we wandered over to Frontierland and rode Big Thunder Mountain. Guess what, it broke down again!!! But luckily we were under cover in the shade. We decided to have just a snack for lunch today but soon found out what the summer season being over meant, every food place we went to seemed to have shut down! We eventually ended up back in Main Street and had hot dogs, fries and coke from Caseys which came to a total of 50 euros. This proves what good value the table service meals are, especially the all-you-can-eat buffets.

We spent the afternoon wandering around Adventureland exploring Adventure Isle and the Swiss Family Robinson Tree. I loved all the details of the latter and it gave fantastic views of the park. I even plucked up the courage to cross the rope bridge.

Then back to Pirates of the Caribbean, yet again a walk-on!

We then watched the Tarzan show. We did enjoy this, maybe not as much as the Lion King show but it was still very good.

More shopping to buy some pressies, then we had great fun exploring Boot Hill and reading all the graves!

Before we knew it, it was 8pm and time to go. Mickey was at the station waving Au Revoir to everyone which was a lovely touch!

Then back to the hotel to pack…

Oh I really feel for you Elaine - that last evening is heart-wrenching isn't it? But you all obviously had a wonderful trip. I loved reading it all and your photos are wonderful. I agree it's hard to choose between the Tarzan show and the Lion King - both having seriously yummy eye candy in the leading roles - or were you thinking more about the artistic merits of the shows????? Thanks for sharing your holiday with us!!

Hi Elaine,

Oh I love trip reports, and everytime I read one of yours I come across something more I haven't seen/done! Where is the skull picture [the photo between skull rock and Captain Hook's ship]? I can't remember seeing it - but then after Reid's quiz questions I'm beginning to think I walked around DLRP with my eyes shut!!!!!

Off to read last installment, I bet its as good as the rest!!

Thanks K

Kaye, thanks for your kind words.
The skull was in the caves of Adventure Isle, is it called Ben Gunn's cave or something? I'm sure someone else will know!

 

[bonhoga]

Oh no Elaine - now I know I walk around with my eyes shut I've been there!!! And I thought we had been through every twist and turn of those caves!
