Day 2
Tuesday 26 February
We had decided last night not to do EMH so had a later than normal start but still made it into Salon Mickey for our breakfast by 9:15.
I forgot to say that yesterday when we were entering the parks we had to show our room Magic Passes because our AP's have blackout days this week. I should have realised this would mean the parks would be busier but it was the only dates that suited us so couldn’t really be avoided. We noticed that the CM’s were mixed in how they dealt with this, some not realising and others being very strict about the names on the Magic Pass and the Annual Pass. The second person booked into the room just shows as ‘adulte’ on the magic pass so there’s actually no way of checking the validity of this really.
Anyway, when we got into Salon Mickey the CM there said he couldn’t validate our passes because of this and that when we were finished we’d have to go in through the main turnstyle and not the Salon Mickey door..
We enjoyed a peaceful breakfast of muffins and hot chocolate in a completely empty Salon Mickey
By the time we were leaving there was a different CM at the desk and she said she’d been able to validate our passes ok so let us exit through the other door and into the park.
It was another beautiful day and the park was already busy.
The Omnibus was pulling up to its stop in front of the dentist so we hopped aboard and I was so happy to manage to get to the front of the top deck.
What a lovely view it is here on the way down Main St to the castle. We hopped off at our stop and I completely forgot to take a photo of the bus.
We headed into Frontierland and watched the Molly Brown on our way to pick up Big Thunder Mountain fast passes. The queue was already showing a wait time of 70 minutes!
When I tried to scan my AP I kept getting a ticket back saying 'invalid'. DH's ticket worked fine so I can only assume something didn't scan correctly on my ticket whilst we were in Salon Mickey. I've had this happen before at the BTM fast pass machines and the CM at that time had said that it happens often with AP's and that it would be ok to use it. There wasn't anyone around to ask this morning so we just headed off towards Pirates.
