Speed Demons...

It's fair to say that this mornings park isn't one of Miss B or Miss H's favourites, which is a shame as I think it is really underated. So this year we have split things up doing it in half days.

So this morning we did our 3 fast passes and 3 additional attractions before calling it a day.

Spaceship Earth was up first, an enjoyable sedate tour through History.

First up on the Fast Pass choices was Test Track. Miss B and I teamed up against Mrs J and Miss H.

We went for a speed demon - nothing but raw power whilst the competition appeared to just build a pretty pink car.  No need to state who won...

We absolutely love this ride - the acceleration and the ovetall speed is a blast.

Our second Fast Pass was a character meet. We went and had our photos taken with Mickey, Minnie and Pluto. When in Rome...

Before our final Fast Pass, we visited the Land and rode Living With The Land and watched The Circle of Life. The girls really enjoyed this... Not...

Our final ride and Fast Pass was Mission Space Orange. Mrs J sat this one out. It's understandable given the g force involved. At take off you can't lift your arms - it's a really weird feeling.

So having tortured our daughters for the morning we headed off to Typhoon Lagoon.

Whilst the girls tackled the rides I headed for the Lazy River and proceeded to bob round and round, watching the world pass me by.

Two hours into our visit the sirens sounded for everyone to vacate the pools and whilst it wasn't raining, it seemed like rain had stopped play for the day. So we headed home via Super Target and Dollar Tree, to jump in the pool.

Before we could enter Super Target the rain arrived and we had a thirty minute down pour.

After messing around in the pool and showering we headed out to eat. We had booked a table at Bahama Breeze, one of our must go to restaurants. Alas, we didn't have a great meal. Mrs J had to send her meal back as it was cold.

Unlike Longhorns at least they re-cooked the dish, the problem was that by the time it arrived, the rest of us had finished. The waiter was fan and got the Manager over, who apologised and took the meal off the bill.

Bit of a shame, as it dampened the mood.

I will leave you with a couple of pictures, our wheels and the pool. Pop back tomorrow...
