Thursday 20 October
We had all slept ok and I woke with the alarm going off at 7am - normally I'm awake waiting for it to ring so I must have been in a deep sleep. I'd done most of the packing the night before so got everyone up and organised and we were ready to check out at 7:45.
Dropped our bags at the left luggage counter in the hotel and made our way through the Village to the park.
It wasn't as cold this morning as yesterday and thankfully it was dry
We were in the park just after 8am and already there were queues with all the characters in Town Square, same as yesterday.
Into Fantasyland the Carousel looked lovely
We headed toward Peter Pan but again it was down the tech problems. Dumbos was our first ride.
We came off this and glanced over to PP but it was still down, so over to the teacups we went
By the time we'd finished we noticed that PP was up again so we headed over. I noticed that Carousel wasn't running yet this morning either.
Peter Pan was great again and Abbey and DH enjoyed it too
Carousel was up and running by the time we came off, but we didn't stop.
Next we made a wee visit inside the castle. I love it in here when it's nice and early without other visitors
Such lovely views over the rooftops of Fantasyland
The shortcut to Discoveryland was closed off again
Back through the castle over to Discoveryland to have our last go on Buzz
Buzz was a walk on and was great fun as ever
When we came out of Discoveryland there was a Main St motor just arriving in front of the castle so we jumped aboard
The Studios was open at 9am this morning and Crush was re-opening today so we made our way over at 8:50 for opening to try and get on without too much wait.
Queues were already building at the gates but we were soon through and joined the queue for Crush. We were on and off in about 25 minutes which I thought was ok.
I forgot how fast this was and really enjoyed it, DH and I were in the backwards seats, so funny
Today was our last hope at getting to see Mickey and the Magician and had to be back at our hotel for 1pm so the 11:45 show was the only one we'd catch. So we decided to spend the rest of the morning at the Studios.
It was a lovely sunny morning
It was now or never for Tower of Terror so we headed over
Wait time showed 20 minutes so we joined the queue. I really wasn't looking forward to this but didn't want Lewis to be swayed so I just went with it.....Well, it was just as bad as I remembered and did not enjoy it at all. I don't know why because I actually really like the theme but I feel like I just cannot breathe on it. Anyway, Lewis wasn't too keen either. DH just laughed at us you can't really see it from the picture but he was trying to cheer us up
Abbey wanted to do Aerosmith next so we went over, 15 min wait and we waited for her in Blockbuster cafe and enjoyed a hot chocolate. She was out quickly and we still had some time to kill before Mickey so went for a stroll to see if Abbey could do RC Racer. Wait time for single rider was 25 mins so she didn't bother as we knew we had to start queuing for the show at about 11:15. A wee look at Ratatoullie and single rider for this was 20 minutes so was busy there too.
