Last day
I had planned our last morning in my head from the minute I'd booked the flights. We were being picked up by Ezyshuttle at 11.30 so didn't have much time. Plan had been to do EMH, Studios for 9.30 opening for Crush and then back to the hotel for 10.45 to have breakfast before being picked up. When I learned that breakfast times had been changed to 10.30 I had a re-think. I'd also seen Crush go down a couple of times and knew the queues would be really long so we soon decided against visiting the Studios today.
In the end we agreed we'd check out before 8 and just spend the rest of our time in the park, stopping at Salon Mickey for some breakfast, so no hotel breakfast this morning.
I was up at 7am and got myself organised as the others started to wake. I'd done most of the packing the night before so was pretty organised. Or so I thought.....turns out we'd bought so much stuff I was struggling to get it in our bags and wished I'd put that extra case on our flight. I ended up leaving some toiletries and snacks we'd never eaten. No big deal but annoying to have to rejig everything at the last minute. Anyway, we were all sorted and out of the room by 7.45 - bye, bye lovely room
Socks for today
We checked out very quickly and left our bags at the bag check.
It was nice and dry outside, no wind and perfect conditions for a Disney day
The gates in front of the DLH weren't opened until just after 8am by security and there were about 20 others at the gates with us. Yesterday we'd been waiting under the DLH at 8, so don't know what time they should be open.
Town Square looked great
Most people went to meet the characters so we had an empty Main St
Chip and Dale were all alone so Lewis went over to meet them as we'd missed them yesterday
Abbey wanted to have a picture with her Vans beside the castle
Next we went inside the castle and upstairs for a look as we'd missed this last year. It's so nice up here and so quiet we had the place to ourselves.
We could really hear the snoring guards today
Lewis then took charge and wanted to make sure the DH and Abbey stuck to the EMH routine
First up was Peter Pan followed by Dumbo
Then the Teacups
And finally The Carousel where Abbey was a princess and chose a carriage all to herself
We popped over to Discoveryland and did Buzz - photos not working this morning. Then we did Orbitron. DH and I were in the same rocket and we had a bit of trouble fitting in comfortably....I think my bahookie is a bit too big
We went back to the hub and DH and Abbey both commented that they couldn't believe how much we'd done already and it wasn't even 9am yet! The penny had dropped
Back at the hub there we hopped on one of the Main St Motors
Town Square was getting busier now and we made our way towards the exit so we could go to Salon Mickey.
I forgot to say that yesterday Lewis and I couldn't get out the exit as the gates were closed and there weren't any CM's there. We had to walk over the entrance and ask a CM to let us through. We had to do the same today which actually benefited us as we were closer to Salon Mickey
