All showered changed and freshened up we headed up to the lounge for a swift drink. Looked to be a nice evening outside, although they did tell us in the Lounge rain was forecast for later!!! Typical......
As we were in no rush tonight, we had some snacky things in the lounge........we had some of the lovely Chinese chicken style salad, dressing ......also had some roasted veg as it looked so nice.....all with blue cheese dressing of course......the lounge was not too busy tonight and we were sat at the big tv...... Anthony asked if we wanted a movie on, so he got the selection they have and we chose Ghostbusters....this was popular with those around us too. So we sat with our wine and watched the movie till we went for the boat.
Always time to take some pictures though........
The boat was fairly busy tonight, we just got on, but there was another appeared before we left........only takes a few minutes to get there, but such a pretty ride.....
We got off the boat and could see how busy it was in Citywalk tonight......but we headed down to Studios and used the hotel guest entrance that saved us some time, we got through quickly, except Tom set off the buzzer again......not quite sure why, but usually one of us or both do it........but we get through and go buy some water. Then straight to Jack`s house........this was a total walk on for us.....queue was fairly large and we saw our first crying children of the night........very young, tired and obviously quite intimidated by everything around them.......but we went on in and thankfully had no children around us.......it was excellent as always, the folks in front of us went zooming ahead, so we kind of became pace setters which was nice as we got plenty of scares......Tom is good remembering where they jump out at you......I had no clue......the "Jack" that jumps out at you and shouts his name got me every time.....I swear I had that target on my head........such a good house!!
Freddy had too long a queue so we went down to Body Collectors......there was a big queue for this tonight, cannot remember how long but we didn't stop till we got our passes scanned at the entrance to the house.....fantastic.......this is why EP is worth every penny!! This house is amazing, got some wonderful scares much to my husbands amusement.......and the little scary guy at the end was there, so Tom again, helped propel me out the door as I just kinda froze again........then shouted he`s behind you......I can run when I have to!!!
Now it was time for us to meet up with Vicki and Trey......I had said outside the boulangerie, but it was so hot and so loud we ended up inside.....where Tom bought himself a cake.......a white and dark chocolate cheesecake.......I didn`t take any of that from him......did buy some more water though and waited for our buddies.
Wasn't long before I saw Trey come in the door.....hadn't seen him for two years as Vicki`s daughter was with her last year, with her famous ankle injury, bless her........so we all sat down and had a good old catch up. As usual we yammered away about anything and everything...thoughts on HHN and how much they were enjoying Cabana Bay......was glad to hear it.........they don't mind you just sitting in there although it was fairly quiet. It`s a nice place to grab something to eat for horror nights as they do some nice croissants......we planned to grab something later in the park from one of the stalls. But for now we all headed out through Icons scare zone........not before a picture though..........
We wandered through Icons together and got some nice scares along the way.........it is such a fun zone this one......but we were headed to do The Purge and WD tonight.........we did get a couple of pictures though.......
I did get a picture with Pumpkinhead but it`s so blurry as someone jolted Tom`s arm as he was taking it....
I think at that point we went our separate ways as I think Vicki was doing Bill and Ted Show.......it was so nice catching up with her again.......emails are ok, but it's nice to chat in real life.......we were giving bill and Ted a miss, once was enough, but you gotta see it, least once. We headed round to Purge and WD.......did the Purge first and this was much better tonight, wasnt bad before, just tonight was better.....loads of scares and we caught so many more little details. Came out and the rain was on........quite heavy. But we decided to hang around.......on to WD and this I really wished we hadn't bothered with.......we were drenched by time we got round. Not quite sure why this was a long, really long queue but we were in it so we would keep going, but at the entrance we were drenched........then the people in front...two couples....dragged their feet all the way round.....we did encourage them to move, but they didn't........we wouldn't queue jump in case we got put out, but wow they were annoying.......so maybe that has an impact on us just not enjoying this house at all. There were no scares and I hate to criticize SA, but they just weren't feeling it tonight. We were less than impressed by it.
So we came out and decided we were a bit hungry and thirsty.......first stall we saw was selling spicy chicken tenders and fries......that would do, we would share one.....we also ordered 2 beers......she asked for ID.....now, yes I know you`re supposed to have it regardless of age...... but neither Tom or I could pass for under 40 never mind 21.......so she let it go......we got our beers in souvenir glasses and went and sat on a wall and munched on our little feast....it was actually very nice.......and the beers went down well!!!
At this point we saw Insidious was like a three week queue, so we headed back out the park and back to hotel........we would be back tomorrow night and planned to make a full night of it then.....weather permitting of course.
Not the best night time pictures.........we were back in the hotel quickly and for some reason we were shattered tonight. So straight to bed for us....we wanted to be up early again tomorrow.
