We decided today to take the lynx bus to a super target store, we badly needed another case and a few other bits we knew would be cheapest in target, we had to get a bus from outside the hotel to magic transportation center and then change to another bus to take us to target, it was only around 6 miles from our hotel but it took us nearly two hours on the bus as we had to wait for the second bus for ages! And i still had a bad headache so really could of done without all the waiting around :( Anyway once there we had a lovely look around and i even found millie some frozen socks for $1! And we got some bits for lunch we decided we were going to make tortilla wraps for our lunches! With avocado :) we looked at the cases and they were just crap so we decided we would have to go back to walmart and look there. When we walked back to the bus stop we came across a sketchers shop that had a sale :) i had been looking for some work shoes for a while as i had none at home and the main thing was comfort! I had to have comfortable shoes, being on your feet for more then half of the day running around a ward like your feet are on fire is no fun in uncomfortable shoes! So i was hoping to find a cheap pair of sketchers! And i did, well luke found them! They were 70% off! So i got a pair of really good and comfortable shoes for around £23! And he also found me a pair of running trainers for $19 which is about £11! Something else i wanted as i am going to start jogging!! Hahahahaha when i get back! So a good pair of running shoes was a bonus! I was super pleased :) we then heard some almighty thunder and knew there was a storm coming we wanted to get on the bus before it absolutely poured down! But as we came out of the sketchers shop we walked past another shop that was like a department store and there was a sale in there aswell and they had luggage, we decided to have a quick look and we found a case! They had many on sale but most were crap material but i found a sketchers (ironically!) blue one, that was really strong material and had protection on the sides and was a decent size, and expandable :) we were pleased :) and it was $50 knocked down from $320! Bargain! We were very very pleased :) we caught the bus just in time before the rain started,the journey back wasnt so long on the way back but i just couldnt wait to get to the hotel i still had this stupid headache i had had since yesterday morning :( and it was horrible i needed to lay down and try to get rid of it. A good day all in all!
Today we decided to visit magic kingdom we wanted to go late afternoon evening to see the wishes show as we didnt see the fireworks very well last time, we had a few fast passes and rode quite a few rides as in the evening it is less busy and then got a great spot in main street for the fireworks ! It was so good we just love magic kingdom shows they are just amazing. They really take your breath away we stayed in the park until close then stopped at dennys on the way home for some takeaway food :) it was scrummy :)
After being super tired from getting back from magic mingdom at gone 2am we had a massive lay in until lunch time and then decided to slowly get up to venture to hollywood studios :) we had some fast passes for the afternoon. We left late afternoon and got to MGM at around 18.30, we didnt really have a plan today other then to see the fantasmic show and go on the toy story ride. When we first went in we decided to go to the muppets 3d show and then we met lightening mcqueen and tow mater! Luke took a few pics in this area of the park and then we sat down to eat the tortilla wraps i had made us! It was overcast today with a few light showers and it was actually a nice temp, we then went to toy story mania 3D shooting ride which we hadnt been on before as the que is always stupidly long! And omg it was a epic ride the best shooting ride we have ever been on! We cannot wait to go on it again! We then went over to art of animation where we learnt to draw dopey :) it was really good :) and because we went to that we missed the first showing of fantasmic! But we didnt mind we just sat and had a hot chocolate and planned the rest of our time in disney.
We went in to the "hollywood hills amphitheatre" and the show began! And it was so amazing one of our faves and lukes says it one of the best shows in disney :) we just loved it, micky was the host and he was amazing, we loved the combination of water, lights, fireworks, the characters and boats its just a show like no other! And we just love it, something you will never get bored of seeing. We got our bus back to downtown hotel and then walked to our hotel, got back around half past midnight not to bad!
Over the last couple of days we have been experiencing epcot and animal kingdom, epcot we did test track and living with the lands and then we wondered into the shop "mouse gears" purely for the aircon and i stumbled across elsa doll! One of the dolls i have been looking for for millie for two months! And there it was infront of my eyes! I snapped it up and so did many others! They were flying off the shelves in front of me! We saw the epcot illuminations show that night and i remember last time we were here two years ago we werent so impressed with the show! But this time we found a good seat and sat and waited for an hour so we had front row seats! But unfortunately we still thought the show was not so good, it was ok but disney has some epic shows much better then this one so i dont think we will see it again when we return! We then spent the day at animal kingdom where we did all the things we wanted to do as we knew we wouldnt be coming back here again this trip :( we did everest, dinosaur ride, and went over to rafikis planet watch! And met chip and dale and rafiki, i also met daisy duck at animal kingdom :) when at rafikis island we went and cuddled some goats and cows i loved it :) we went straight to downtown disney from here and obviously on the way there it started to absolutely piss down your average florida heavy rain! You couldnt barely see in front of you for rain! But it got lighter when we arrived to downtown so we just took a lovely stroll and took some great pics of all the things they have there....
....the bikes in the harley shopIt was a good day and on the way back we ate at sweet tomato the best buffet i have ever eaten! So so good!
We spent the weekend just chilling and recooperating, packing, getting things sorted for coming home, the parks were so busy on the weekends, we were going back to magic kingdom tomorrow and i couldnt wait i missed it already ! We are enjoyong our last few days here in florida, we simply cannot believe we will be home by the end of the week!
Monday we decided on magic kingdom in the late afternoon evening, it really was getting hotter and hotter by the day! And quite honestly we could not cope with the heat in the day time plus the late evenings were less busy, we wanted to video the night show as when we last recorded it you couldnt hear the music and this was also the evening we had fast passes for the new seven dwarf mine train!
We got a great spot for the show right in front of the castle and it was just amazing this was the third time we had seen it and it never fails to amaze us. We then went to meet rapunzel and cindarella! And over to the mine train which was closed and had been closed all day! We were so gutted i booked this fast pass three weeks ago and it was the only slot they had 23.35-00.35! I was hoping it would open ! We went on a few other things....little mermaid ride, met ariel, and then went back and they were testing it so we got in the que that started to form and waited around 15minutes and then decided to go to space mountain as it said the que was ten minutes, it was 23.45 and we didnt want to wait in this que for to long as we would miss out on other rides! And obviously as soon as we left the que and walked around the corner for space mountain the ride opened ! Typical! We had a fast pass for it but was hoping to get on it twice but when we got back to it the que was already 90minutes! Crazy! We went on it and we enjoyed it but thought it could have been better, not worth a two hour wait that people wait ! We then went to big thinder mountain and then we got to go on peter pans flight! Its a kids ride really! But the que is always over an hour! However it was only ten minutes so we went on it ! One more time on space mountain before the Park closed and then we went back to the hotel got in about 2.30! A excellent night!
Its now tuesday and our last day in florida and last day of the trip which makes us happy and sad! More on that later! Today we are going to magic to see the festival of fantasy parade in magic which somehow we hadnt seen ! Its defo because we cannot stand the midday heat. We found out this morning that lukes car needs repairing :( its been look after but its just wear and tear and because its been sitting there, couldnt have been avoided it just came at the wrong time! So that really stressed luke out! And we couldnt speak to anyone about it all day it was so frustrating :( Hopefully it will all be sorted and wont be to much stress theres nothing we can physically do which i think is more frustrating, but anyway i am sure it will all work out ok. So we had the stress of the car and it was absolute blazing hot sun and stupid humidity! It was also so busy there and we had sweat just dripping off us probly lost a stone just standing there! We went on space mointain again and then found a spot in the shade to wait for the parade, and when it came i walked to the front to record it and just in that twenty minutes i thought i was going to pass out from the heat! Before we got to disney my sister asked us to get this mickeys kitchen sink for her so Yesterday when we were here we got it....
....it was so full of ice cream and very sickly! And when we got it luke said he would really like one, they were really nice actually and we hadnt really bought anything for ourselves so today we bought one, but asked for less ice cream and no cream! It was just to much! We had that and went back to the hotel to finish packing, eat dinner and have a bath and just relax ready for our long journey tomorrow.
We thought the evening would be a relaxing one.....we were wrong....we had a electrical fire in our room that evening it was very scary and caused a lot of stress, more on that next
We really enjoyed this last part of our long adventure around the world and was very pleased to be finishing in walt disney world it was somewhere we have made some great memories together and have had a lot of fun here, we are already planning the next visit.
In other news....OUR JOURNEY HOME STARTS TOMORROW! Cannot wait!
