We were all up reasonably early but not in time for rope drop, which was 9am. We arrived before 9:30, so not too shabby.
So today we chose The Magic Kingdom. We had already selected our Fast Passes - which were the trilogy of Mountains... You know the ones, Space, Big Thunder and Splash...
We started with the Buzz Light year ride which we hadn't done before, probably because of the standby time... We will definitely go back as it became very competitive, with Miss B taking the crown.
Next up was Space Mountain - we had a fast pass for this but the standby time was so short, we thought why not. If only we could obtain the audio from Mrs J's ride - it was absolutely priceless...
Following this we rode the People Mover, which has certainly changed over the years. Certain parts of the ride are much faster, not a thrill ride but quite different.
We then revisited the Speedway Raceway - Mrs J and I are still traumatised from our last experience being driven around by Miss B and Miss H. I have to be honest, this time round was fab but Miss B needs to be checking her mirrors more frequently - only joking...
Next was our first Fast Pass which was Big Thunder Mountain, one of our personal faves. Who doesn't like a runaway train ride...
After this we were all starting to get hungry so it was off to Cosmic Ray's Starlight cafe for burgers all round.
After lunch we decided to ride the teacups, it was a bit of a squeeze but we managed it, plus Miss B has a great video of us... Powered by Mr J the teacup was a-spinning!
It was then time for our second Fast Pass, Space Mountain, another great ride.
The Carousel was next but I sat that one out with Mrs J. We then went on two attractions we hadn't done before - Monster's Inc Laugh Floor and Stitch's Great Escape.
Suffice to say we now know why we hadn't riden these attractions before and won't be doing them again.
Mickey's Philha Magic was next up, which was fab.
Our final two rides were the Haunted House, followed by a re-run of Big Thunder Mountain.
The weather had been all sun today but by 6 it had started raining. We had already planned to leave and so this worked in our favour as the Heavens opened and we had thunder and lightning for about an hour.
A quick turnaround at the villa and it was off to Longhorn's for a meal. It didn't turn out great as Miss B's dish was firstly not as ordered and secondly undercooked. Miss B suggested it could be revived...Not good when her burger was requested to be well done.
When it returned the fries were awful - suspect they had visited the popty ping. That's Welsh for microwave. We raised this with our waitress who arranged for the meal to be deducted from the bill.
We won't be going back anytime soon, which is a shame as I had really been looking forward to it.
After our meal we popped back to Super Target for some essential shopping before returning to the villa.
We have our very first ADR tomorrow (Advanced Dining Reservation). If you want to know where and what we did... You know the drill...
