Drron's Do Disney.

[drron]

As soon as the show ended most were running to their favoured attraction whilst we just walked.

.

.

.
We were off to Big Thunder Mountain Railroad.A popular ride but not top of the list so we only had a 5 minute wait without using a fast pass.

.

.

.

.

.

.
The kids loved it.

One downside to coming at this time is that after the peak time it is time for some of the rides to be serviced.So Splash Mountain was out.

.

 

[drron]

The next ride was Pirates of the Carribean,one of my favourites though Anaheim is better.Once again no fast pass necessary and we walked straight on.Our guides had a short cut between the 2 attractions.

.

.

.

.

.

.
The only difference in this ride since our first time on it at Disneyworld 35 years ago is that the last pirate looks just like Johnny Depp.Funny that.

Now another reason for the guides.They now took us back by Cinderella's Castle for a photo.Virtually no crowd.

.

.
Now Disney do have quite a few photographers around to take your photo for a price.However where ever they were there was usually long queues.

 

[drron]

We continued our walk through the park-

.

.
To Tomorrowland.

.
Our son trying to stop the spinning ball.On the other side is our other guide Salina.

.

We use our first fast passes for Space Mountain.No time to take photos but they do it for you-

.

.

 

[drron]

Next fast pass was used on Buzz Lightyears astro Blaster.A ride with an arcade game.Again the kids enjoyed it.

.

.

.

.

.

.

As we were heading off to the next ride we passed the Mad Tea Party and the girl's wanted to go on it.There was no wait so on they went.

.

.

.
Mrsdrron looks like she really enjoyed that.

 

[drron]

Off on our next walk-

.

.

.

.

.
This time to the Haunted Mansion.

.

.

.

.
This had been another fast pass adventure.

 

[drron]

A short walk and we come to our next adventure.No fast pass this time as only a 5 minute wait.

.

.
That's Casey our guide for the jungle cruise.She was a natural comedian making it an enjoyable time for us oldies.For example what sort of snake is this?To make it easy it starts with P.Answer later.

.

.

.

.
The waterfall named after that famous Explorer Albert Falls.

.

.

.

.

So who thought the snake was a python?An obvious answer but wrong.It is of course a Plastic snake.

 

[amaroo]

The things we do for the family I seem to have got away with only two visits to Disney ..... that's enough!!!

 

[drron]

We have been to various Disneys a few times.Always has been enjoyable.On this occasion it was about the delight of our Grandchildren.I think we have finally outgrown Disney and this will be the last time.Quite a few reasons which I will probably expand upon towards the end of the TR.

But for now.We passed by Aladdin's Magic Carpet ride,the kids wanted on,no queue so on we go.

.

.

.
The spitting camel got me right in the face.

.

.

Now 1230 and time for lunch.The guides had found a place for lunch just nearby-Columbia Harbour house.Two tables together to comfortably fit the 9 of us.Reasonably priced.I had a tuna and salad sandwich and a cup of chowder.Mrsdrron the lobster roll.

.

.

 

[Denali]

Looks exhausting! Hope you indulged in a few Nana naps.

 

[drron]

Just around the corner from lunch is our neices favourite ride-It's A Small World.

.

'

.

.

.

.
Some things go over the heads of young riders such as Don Quixote tilting at windmills.

.

.

.

.

 

[drron]

I must confess I also like this ride so lots of pics.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

 

[drron]

And the last of a Small World.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

 

[drron]

From there it was Mickey's Philharmagic and then The Seven Dwarfs Mine Train-

.

.

.
And then the Journey of the Little Mermaid.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

 

[drron]

She just wished she had feet.

.

.

.

.

.

After this we were taken to the parade route.There were already crowds lining the route but we were taken to an area where there were still front row positions.We then said our goodbyes to Carlos and Salina.They were fantastic and everything you have read happened in a little under 5 hours.It was not rushed and I only starting to feel a little fatigue when we stopped for the Parade.Here they are-

.
And just when we thought it couldn't get any better we went into the guest services office which is that door behind our guides and a woman appears with this-

.
A funnel cake.It tasted delicious too.No doubt it came from Carlos and Salina.

 

[drron]

And if anyone wants to watch a video of the parade here it is.

Back tomorrow with some pics.

 

[Pushka]

And that It’s a small world song sticks in your head the whole day. You just started me off now.

 

[drron]

That song certainly does stick doesn't it.
But whilst I videoed the parade mrsdrron was taking pictures.

.

[drron]

The Americans are good at parades.

So the last of the Parade.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

So the last of the parade has gone past.
Now back to Carlos and Salina.Not only had they given us a great experience but I now found out for the next day they had organised all the fast passes for the family and given an order of experiences to give the most chance of seeing everything on their wish list.
As of now on TA there are now 234 5 star reviews of Stone VIP and still only the one 1 star review.
