We didnt have long to wait, people were let through at 9:30am and all of the lunatics ran to Crush! We got there and they were letting people on the ride so we only queued for about 20 minutes. We headed straight over to the Toy Story Playland.
We got in the queue for Toy Soldiers Parachute drop, they hadnt started to let people through yet as they were doing the safety checks. I know waiting isn't the best thing in the world but I was shocked that people were complaining about it! Would they rather take a chance with their safety?!
This only went on for a few minutes and then they let everyone through.
Afterwards we went on Slinky and then went to say goodbye to Rex.
It was really funny, just after Id taken the last photo, Rex started speaking, Chloe wasn't expecting it and jumped up and ran away so fast!
Then we went over to Tower of Terror, Ive got to add that I actually enjoyed it this time! Chloe loved it, as usual!
Now it was time to say goodbye to the Studios
This isnt a great photo, but I love this!
We went to Big Thunder Mountain to see if we could use the FP given to us last night, it was no problem we were on in a couple of minutes. Afterwards we went straight to Pirates for one last turn, yet again it was a walk on.
There was now just enough time to rush over for the train. We went straight to the spot for Pluto and Goofy and managed to meet them.
We went and saw the dragon to say goodbye (Chloe needed to apparently) then we going to have a look around Fantasyland to see what the queues were like and then I had planned to go over to the Cowboy Cookout Barbeque just as a final character goodbye. Then I saw the queue for the Rapunzel meet. I know Chloe had been desperate to see her, so I gave Chloe the option to either go on a ride and then over to the Cowboy Cookout Barbeque or get in line to meet Rapunzel and grab something quick to eat from the village just before we leave, she chose Rapunzel no contest! So we got in the queue.
Chloe spent most of the time sitting on the floor listening to her Disney songs on her Ipod! By the time we got to her wed been queuing for what felt like forever (it was about 2 hours) but wed made it! And there was going to be just enough time to make it back for the train to meet Mickey and Minnie! Rapunzel was really sweet, I had a very happy little girl!
I was told we could have a look at the photos in an hour, which was cutting it a bit fine as we needed to eat and get to the station but I had one photo left so I wanted to use it. If I couldnt get one of the Rapunzel ones, there was another one with Mickey that I liked so I needed to get that anyway.
We went to the area that Mickey and Minnie went to and waited for them as they came. We got to meet Minnie first, then just managed to meet Mickey in time!
Afterwards, we skipped off down Main Street very happy
It hadnt quite been an hour but I thought Id ask about the photo, to be told quite rudely that it is not showing and that it does not take 1 hour, it takes 2! I had been told 1 hour after the ones with Mickey were taken so I took no notice!
We went to eat at Earl of Sandwich as we were both hungry by now, we had the same as last time although I was told that I couldnt get the shareholder discount this time! We both had the same as last time so I didnt take any photos. The food was so good again!
We had a little time to kill before we needed to be at the station and lots of change weighing down my purse so we did some shopping! Chloe got herself a musical jewellery box, a hair brush, some hair things and lots of sweets! Weve still got tins of sweets everywhere! We went into a shop to see if the photos were ready, they were, so we had one of the ones with Rapunzel.
The station was busy but we got through quite quickly and then we were on the train
We ended up getting home late though as there was a problem on the way back to Birmingham. A woman on another train missed her stop and so she pulled the emergency cord! All the trains by the station were stopped (apparently, ours was but other people said they all were) and everyone on that train had to get off. We were sat for a while and then when we finally got to the platform so many people got on! People were concerned as we were obviously way over the amount of people who were supposed to be on the train, every carriage was packed to the point that you could barely move, I was so glad we had seats!! My lovely grandparents were picking us up from the station, as it was late I tried to get in touch with them and my phone battery had died. In the end they knew there was a delay and stayed looking out for us, we also had a little picnic waiting for us, we are spoilt
Chloe ate a little in the car as she was hungry now, by the time wed got home and she was settled and in bed it was 1:30am! I was wide awake so just started sorting things out, ended up getting into bed at 4am.
Overall it was an exhausting trip but I loved every second of the magic and I cannot wait to be there again in just over 2 months!!!!
Thank you for reading, I know it was long but hopefully it wasnt too dull!
