Luckily Samantha felt much better today so we set off nice and early to the parks. It was a beautiful day so we walked in and had a good luck round the Cheyenne and Hotel New York. The Panoramagique balloon was just setting up so we waited until it was open. This was a great experience and it was fun finding all the attractions in the parks.
We went to Salon Mickey for a drink and cookie, then spent a lovely morning looking for all the secrets round the park ~ even though we have found them before its great fun to find them all again!
We had some lunch at Pizzeria Bella Notte and thought this was a lovely place.
We went over to the Studios to watch Animagique which we all love and the tune is sooo catchy!!! We then went back to the hotel because Francesca wanted to change into her Cinderella dress for our meal at Inventions this evening and then caught the bus back, going into the Studios again to watch the parade. Unfortunately the heavens decided to open and I have never seen a parade whizz by so quickly!
We headed over to the Disneyland Hotel for our reservation at Inventions. We were seated at exactly the same table as last year with a lovely view of the Castle.
We had a fabulous time here, the food was excellent and the characters were fantastic. For a while we were the only ones here and when another party arrived the daughters didnt like the characters and hid under the table away from them so they really made a fuss of us. We had Mickey, Chip and Dale, Donald, Goofy and Gepetto. 
After our meal, we headed over to Phantom Manor because we thought it would be fun to do in the dark. I got spooked by a doorman, he caught me totally by surprise and I nearly jumped out of my skin!
We wandered leisurely down Main Street, then did some more shopping in the Village and walked home.
