Lazy morning today with room service booked for 8-8.30! Cereal, juice, pastries, fruit salad, yoghurt & coffee.
We made it to the park in time for rope drop in Adventureland and headed straight for Pirates! DD wasn’t sure this was a good idea but she loved looking at all the detail especially the animals. It was a bit dark for her and she had her eyes closed on the drops (like me!) but other than that she was fine!
Next we went on Peter Pan – it seems that DD was feeling better! She liked seeing Nana the dog and flying over Big Ben. Straight from here onto Dumbo which she loved too and then It’s A Small World, or as DD calls it “The Sun Going Round” – she absolutely loved this ride!
We went to visit the dragon after this - DD loved seeing the dragon! We had to go back again!
Next we decided to try the railroad and so we walked round only to find that you could only board at Main Street – the wait time was an hour!! So we popped into Salon Mickey! It was so embarrassing though – I knocked over my hot chocolate! There were about 3 napkins left so I had to go and ask for a cloth but all she could find were these cheap anti-bac wet wipe things – I’m sure they thought it was DD though!
Having eaten our chocolate chip cookies we headed for Buzz again and it broke down twice –hoorah!! I beat DH!! Then DH went on Star Tours and we headed back to the hotel for a bit of a rest via the station shop. DD wanted to stay in the room for the rest of the day and watch DVDs but being the mean parents we are we took her to see the Stars & Cars Parade but did not stay for the show. We went on the Magic Carpets and then as we walked back the parade was leaving and we got some brilliant photos and the characters all waved & blew kisses to DD!
The Tram Tour was closed so we headed back to the Park for an ice cream. It was really hot again by now. Arrived as Minnie’s Party Train was going though – which is possibly the most annoying noise ever!!
We met our friends outside by the fountains and went back in to watch the parade which was wonderful – a chance to see ALL the princesses!! Then we went on It’s A Small World – again!
After this we went round to Adventureland so the grown ups could go on Indiana Jones! Timed to perfection, we headed back round to see Aladdin!! DD gave him a kiss!
We walked past as the Party Time Show was on Stage and I think DD would have liked this – she did see Timon dancing and wanted to get up on stage and see him! But we had dinner booked for 6.30 so we had to head off to the Village.
The Steakhouse – possibly the best meal of the trip but also the worst service. We mentioned to our waitress that we had premium vouchers (apparently worth 44 Euros) and she said we had two choices:
1. Order off the Chicago Menu & pay nothing (Cost 33Euros)
2. Order a starter, main course, AND dessert and deduct the face value!
As we had no intention of eating 3 courses we decided that it wasn’t worth running back to the hotel to retrieve the vouchers (Which we’d forgotten!!) and instead opted to order what we wanted and use shareholder discount. As it was before 7 when we got there the set menus were cheaper – childrens were 7 Euros each! They had a burger, shepherds pie (not a success - her Dad ate it!) and baked cod. I took photos of the food, and I had a cocktail!
My New York Strip Steak
DH had Kobe Burger
My friend has the Rump Steak
We had two courses and were there for 2 hours – did I mention that the service was slow?!!
