Left for Manchester Airport @ 05:30 notlooking forward to a 9hr flight with MyTravel,but must say everthing went well after a slight delay.Arrived about 3pm US time to find we had being relocated to The Sanctury @ west Haven and not Southern Dunes due to the storms.Got to Villa @ around 7pm on pure adrenalin,food,beer and then bed about 10pm.
20th Aug
Too excited to sleep and up before the alarm,went to Shoneys for breakfast before hitting MK!!!:D.Went straight to frontierland by railroad to splash mountain @ the request of Josie and Kate,where yours truly got drenched,then on to Thunder Mountain,to our surprise the queues were very small on these rides.Back on railroad to Toontown were we all met Mickey,Minnie,Pooh,Piglet,Cinderella etc.We then took in Fantasyland,Peter Pan,WTP and Philhermagic which we all enjoyed.Then it was lunch and Parade,then a quick dash back to Splash Mountain and Thunder Mountain.On the way home we hit Publix on the 192/27 for a food shop and then home for a late dip in the pool.
21st Aug
Had a lazy day @ the Villa swimming and bar football,went to Downtown Disney for tea @ Planet Hollywood.
22nd Aug
Up early ate @ Villa and headed for Animal Kingdom. Straight to safari were we did this twice because we queued and also Fast Passed it,the giraffe's were Josie and Kate's Fav's.Then onto Kali River Rapid's where tere was minimal wetting,so we queued again and Jill got an absolute soaking second time around oh how to laugh @ someone else's discomfort.Missed out on Primeval Whirl due to bad weather:(.Onto Lion King show which was really good,with all the colourful costumes and great performances.One downside was the girls got really scared on the Dinosaur ride,we then decided to do It's a Bug's life wher there was even more scream's,we then had a severe thunderstorm so there was no parade and didn't get to check out the Tree of Life.Got home and went round to some friends for a few [beer].
23rd Aug
Breakfast @ The Grand Floridian with WTP,Tigger,Alice and the Mad Hatter who was rather loud and Kate told him to be quiet because he was giving her a headache.Onto MK for our second visit we went straight down Main St. to the Castle and onto the tea cups where Daddy was nearly[sick].Then onto Tomorrowland to the Indy raceway where we were driven round by the girls,went on Space Mountain and Buzz Lightyear ride's twice each,@ this point I happened to lose one of the park tickets,but this was sorted out in about 2mins @ guest services while Jill and the girls went for Autographs.Back to Villa for tea,swim ,girls to bed and then a relaxing[drinkbeer]for Jill and Jake.
24th Aug
Jake plays golf @ Highlands Reserve with 3 guys one of who i emailed from the forum,girls slept in then played,swam and sunbathed(Jill)@the villa,lazy afternoon then to Golden Coral for tea which was reasonable for the price,then onto MK for Spectromagic which was really Magical and a lot more enjoyable then day parade,this was topped off buy being first in line following the parade down Main St.to the Castle, Josie and Kate loved waving to all the crowds this was a moment that money can't buy, was about being in the right place @ the right time.then stayed on for Whishes fireworks which were AWESOME and another late night had by all.
25th Aug
Rope drop for MGM went straight to Aerosmith with a fast pass for Tower of Terror,Loved Aerosmith fab coaster and as for ToT this was something else,can't believe two 7yr old's go wait in queues in total fear but come off the ride's shouting again,againand yes we did do them again.did all the other things in a fun packed day,but parade seemed a bit rushed as there was a very big thunderstorm just after it started.Then onto Fantastic Fantasmic took our seats 2hrs before start and no we were not the first,it was well worth the wait and taking part in the Mexican waves.
Thats the first week guys will be back sometime soon.[zzz]
