DAY 4- WEDNESDAY 8TH JUNE 2005
I woke up at 6.30, DS woke up about 7.20 and DH slept on. DS and I decided to go swimming. DS had wanted to do this all week so I thought it would be best this morning when we had our Fantasyland breakfast. We spent about ½ an hour in the pool which was lovely then went back to the room to shower. DH had woken up and showered by the time we got back.
We walked to the park and up Main Street to Fantasyland. We didnt get told which restaurant to go to so we just kept walking until we saw people moving about. The breakfast there was pretty much the same as in the NBC. It was getting very busy by the time we were finished and ready to leave. We then had another go on Dumbo ( I think Peter Pan was having technical difficulties that morning). We went to Alices Curious Labyrinth and took lots of photos. We liked the bit with the jumping water. DS also liked the mirrors in the bottom of the castle. We had wanted to the Casey Jnr and Le Pays des Contes de Fees, but they didnt open until 11. We went to Adventureland and walked past Pirates of the Caribbean which was closed. There was a pirate standing outside and I asked if I could take a photo of him and DS. DS got quite worried when the pirate drew out his cutlass and was going to cut his throat. It made a good photo though. We went to Adventure Isle and the Robinson tree house. We werent too sure about the rope bridge though. Captain Hooks pirate ship was closed that day. We went back to Fantasyland then and did Casey Jnr and the Fairytale ride. After this we went back to Adventureland and went to Indiana Jones, this was a walk on. DH didnt want to do it as he has a dodgy back and hed hurt it the day before on Autopia when he and DS were getting out of their car and the car behind had run into them. We didnt want to risk it getting hurt again so he said hed give it a miss. DS said that I could go on it and then tell him what it was like. I ended up sitting next to an 18ish year old who was giving me instructions on how to enjoy the ride ( arms in air shout wooo!!, I said no grabbing hold of harness and shouting ooohhh!!).I didnt find it too bad but DS didnt believe me. After this we had hotdogs at the stand just along from there.
We walked through to Frontierland and had look at Pocahontas Indian Village, and got some photos and autographs with Chip and Dale, and one of the Country bears. Then we found the Chaparral Theatre and people were already queuing for the 1 oclock show of Tarzan so we just decided to do the same. It was very warm that day so it was nice to get into the shade for a while. The show was very good. After this we came out and decided to go on the Railroad. We took the train all the way round the park and got back off again in Frontierland .
We then decided to go and get icecreams. We went to The Gibson Girl Icecream Parlour and had trouble trying to decide which flavours to try. It was a lovely sunny day so we decide to find a place to watch the parade. We sat on a bench opposite Pizzeria Bella Notte. DH and DS got themselves by the rope so DH could get a good view for the video. DS was sitting on the road under the rope when a CM came across, we thought she was going to say he had to move back. She had seen all his pins and wondered if he wanted to trade. She gave him one from her pocket too, and told him there was pin trading later that evening. We had a great view of the parade and it was really great.
We had another wander around and then went to The Rainforest Café for tea. This was a lovely meal which we all enjoyed. DH had the Mojo bones, I had Rasta Pasta, and DS had pasta with tomato sauce. Lovely big helpings and great surroundings. We werent near any of the animals that moved, but DS was making faces like the gorillas behind us. He got a bit of a fright when the storm started. We were all stuffed, but when the sweet menu came I just had to have Crème Brulee. It was an expensive meal but drinks there were not cheap.
We returned to the park for the pin trading at Main Street and then went on some rides until park closing. We went to the hotel and had a drink in the bar ( this sounds like were alcoholics but that usually meant a 1664 for DH, a coffee for me and a coke for DS while I wrote the post cards).
I was shattered , all the waking early was catching up with me (DH said we should go on holiday more often as Im usually last one up at home.). We went back to the room and DH took DS to the games arcade for about half an hour and I was asleep when they came back.
