We got up early today as we wanted to get to an ADR on time for once!
While Emma was getting dressed, I put all my birthday cards up. We didn't do the banners that Emma insisted on buying and bringing with in the end!
We got out to the bus stop and didnt wait for too long and then 3 MK buses came along at once! While our driver was installing my scooter, I turned and suggested to the other people waiting that they might be quicker getting on the bus behind. They did so, leaving Emma and I as the only passengers on our bus. I said to the driver she could go straight there now as we were the only passengers. She said she couldnt do that! However, after pulling into the next stop behind the third bus (the second one having already gone right ahead), she didnt stop again but did indeed drive straight out and to the park.
I got a few shots of an empty Hub and castle but typically there was a crane up again.
We didnt wait too long for the pager to go off, and we found we were on the left side this time, almost at the front, and I saw that we had confetti on the table this time.
Pooh was already just 2 tables away, and we were told that the two middle tables would be done first, and then we were next on the rota. Also, Eeyore and Tigger followed rapidly behind Pooh, so we were able to go off and get our breakfast without worrying wed miss one. I had another bacon and cheddar omelette: I should have gone there first because while I was getting some bacon, 3 more people joined the queue so my bacon was cold by the time I got sat down. I also had a couple of Mickey waffles with strawberries and syrup on them (which I got at the same time as the other hot food, so it was cold by the time I got to it), and one of the puffed donut things.
This left me really full and once more we didnt really get our moneys worth from the food. However, the service was great this time, the character interaction was faultless they even started coming round again before we finished! I got my obligatory bad cupcake and sweet birthday card signed by the four characters.
After breakfast we headed over to Tomorrowland where we played the FP+ and DAS card again. We got a return time for Buzz Lightyear Space Ranger and then went in on our FP. After this we did the TTA and then Carousel of Progress. It was at that point that Emma realised she didnt have her ears. She ran back over to Carousel who told her to come back in 20 minutes, which was how long it would be before the ride came back round again. In the meantime, we went and rode Buzz Lightyear again on the other pass. Thankfully the ears were found, and we put them over the console of the scooter: they fitted that better than they fitted Emmas head!!
We went over to Fantasyland, riding the teacups on the way. After this, we queued up to meet Alice and the White Rabbit. Needless to say, Alice went off for a break when we were halfway up the queue, and wasnt due back out for another half hour!
So, we continued on our way and did Philharmagic again, sitting in the back wheelchair row this time. After that it was a case of getting a return time for Dumbo and then going over to the big top shop while Emma used the restrooms, and I got a couple of Mickey head crispy treats while I was waiting for her.
She reappeared in time to go on Dumbo just as some REALLY rude people pushed right in front of us at the FP return queue. Im clearly invisible in the scooter!
After this we decided it was just too busy and hot, so we returned to the resort for the afternoon. It was already 2pm by the time we got back, and I immediately moved our FP for Big Thunder Mountain set for 4pm back to 9pm so we didnt have to rush back. We went over to the food hall where Emma got a toasted sandwich and I got a Caribbean salad and a divine strawberry and chocolate cupcake with a chocolate fudge cone in the bottom.
