*knock knock* the door flings open…fortunately we put the latch across…bloody housekeeping bursting into our room at 8:30 in the morning…bugger off, we’re tired and haven’t used extra magic hours (I’m getting old now and need my beauty sleep)…they got the message, but were loud as hell…*tap tap*…just bloody leave us alone…*tap tap*…FFS mun we’re still sleeping!!! “Dean I think that’s Grandma”…oh yes, I’d forgotten that I told mags to give me a knock when she got up in the morning, and she was tapping for ages through the adjoining door…poor bugger…morning Grams, won’t be too long.
Ooo let’s go see which character is downstairs in the lobby today, we got some time until our 12:30 reservation in Pym Kitchen…good thing we did have time, the line was massive…where the hell has everyone come from, it was dead here yesterday…must have been the fact that it was double D…Donald Duck!!! Boooyah!
Anyways, getting to the lobby is always fun with the security checks for everyone carrying a bag…even more fun when Grayson keeps shouting comments about my backpack…”Dad the light is red, that means you’ve got something bad!!’…shut up you nutter, your gonna get me in trouble.
So Donald Duck was awesome, great interaction with the kiddies (and adults)…don’t mean to brag, but Donald high fived me…don’t be too jealous.
Come on then, lets make a move, got reservations soon…Donald took up most of our free time…quick stop at the room because Jo had forgotten something…AGAIN!! Whilst Jo and the kids make their way to Disney Village…finally caught up at Starbucks…what are the chances?? Would be rude not to grab a quick morning coffee…ahhh…luckily we did make the stop…’’SHIT!!’…what??..Jo forgot her bag at security…bloody great, they’ve probably got it on bomb watch after Grayson’s comments…luckily they’d kept it aside for us and released it back to me after they gave me the rubber glove treatment…I didn’t hate it 🤔
On to Walt’s Disney Studios finally then…bloody Army everywhere at entrance…bugger, they must have heard about Grayson’s antics…or worse still…they must have heard about the series of hit and runs that have been ramped up in the parks since mags arrived…bugger.
Avengers campus again…bloody brilliant…Pym Kitchen in half hour…quick go on Web Slingers it is then…Mags refuses to join us due to her inherent unfair advantage, so it’s just the 4 of us…nope…temporarily not working again…bloody ride is a nightmare…fine, we’ll just go queue for Pyms then.
Bloody hell, Pyms Kitchen was cool…theming was excellent…the kids drinks came in beakers, the food was either miniature or extra large, and the overall atmosphere was really cool…€45 each for adults for an all you can eat buffet was decent price too…makes me a little disappointed that none of us can eat as much as we used to…well apart from Alaska, she gets all our monies worth…and I think I was over feeding Grandma too…one of everything is it Grams?? Oh go on then.
Nice to see the placemats were all marvel themes colouring placemats…kept the kids entertained…and when I say kids, I mean Jordan…she refuses to leave until she’d finished her colouring…the kids were bored of it and the staff were trying to kick us out…but ya know, we need the placemat to be properly done…well done Jordan, nice to see you can colour in the lines.
Right then…is web slingers back up and running??!! Hell yes…time to work off that meal and get your slinging arms ready…FML, you need arms like Mr Tickle to get the high score here I swear…but…today was the day…little Loo managed to score some points!!! 8,000 or so…she was so pleased…well done loo loo!!
Bit more merch in the Avengers shop…I’d buy all the Spider-Man stuff if I could…it’s so cool…let’s move on.
Tower of Terror Gray? Hell no, he was still traumatised from yesterday…he kept banging on about elevators in his sleep last night so think it may have scarred him…ok I’ll go on my own then…the rest of you guys can go see Stitch Live…
Tower of Terror done, the poor bloke next to me kept grabbing at me for dear life…chill out bud, Grayson didn’t even do that to me…poor bugger left traumatised…not gonna lie, I may have laughed a little.
Catch up with the rest of the fams only to find out that in the rush post Stitch Live, Grayson and Alaska had been separated from Grandma and Jordan…Jordan was in mass panic…but the kids knew to stay and wait for Jo and Mags, and found them easily…well done kiddies, so proud of you…Jordan…*shakes head*…alls well that ends well though…to be fair, the crowds here are ridiculous, and people are so rude and just flood out of shows and push passed everyone…bloody dicks…I don’t think I like people very much lately 😂…btw the kids have air tags on for such events…my paranoid mind works well sometimes.
Disneyland Park next, we’ve more or less done all we want to in the Studios, so we’re well ahead of schedule…just in time for a parade…only a quick little parade, but managed to see some of the more unusual characters…Judy Hops, Miguel, etc…really cool…kids loved it, they’re little faces lit up and Alaska was waving like crazy…where was this enthusiasm on Web Slingers loo? We may have made the top 10 for the day.
The plan was to hit up Peter Pan…the only ride that Grams wants to go on, so we had a bit of an obligation…got to keep the slayer happy…I don’t want to be run over anymore…
Ooo first though, princess pavilion is it? Yeah brilliant, manage to get in to see CINDERELLA!!! Omg, the kids were in complete awe…Grayson (mr business), made sure he got his autograph book shoved in her face before any cuddles, talking or pictures go ahead…ok Gray, don’t stress bud…business out of the way, time for pleasure…my god, Cinderella was amazing with the kids…not sure how, but Alaska ended up on her lap, and she was in complete awe of her…magical…Jo was in tears watching (although I think it may have been partially due to jealousy)…some beautiful pictures from it too!! Well worth the visit.
Ok ok mags, stop revving the engine, we’re going the Peter Pan next mun…65 minute wait??!! ‘I’m not waiting in that!!’…watch out guys you don’t want to make her angry…don’t worry Grams, we got a priority pass…literal 2 minute wait and we were sailing above London to Neverland…mags was so excited that she was trying to bust down the gate before we get loaded onto the ships…calm it mags, your already breaking Drs orders by riding anything. Now we talk about Disney magic, and how kids eyes light up…you wanna see the magic in the eyes of an 83 year old on Peter Pan…now that’s some Disney magic!!!
Little potter around and we see another parade about to start…prime seating opportunity…only 30 mins to wait too…finally ‘Stars on Parade’ starts…wow, floats and characters were awesome…and if the kids were excited for the last parade…you should have seen their faces for this one…wow!!! This is why we bring the kids, pure magic and excitement…almost brought a tear to my eye…you know if I wasn’t such a manly man.
Aaaaaaannnnnnnnddddd rain, AGAIN!!! Getting bloody fed up of this, been dry most of the day…cold, but dry, and now it was hammering down again…time for a quick exit then. Not before We purchase some new Mickey and Minnie popcorn buckets though…one for me, one for Jordan…bugger the kids, they’re in their fancy dry wagon…ah what?! I need to share…fine, take the Minnie bucket kids!!
Back to the hotel semi-early this evening then, leave Grams and the kids in the nice warm room watching the Disney channel while me and Jo go do some shopping…can you believe I’ve been here 3 days and haven’t done any proper shopping in Disney Village yet??!! Nope, let’s remedy that…and that we did…few bits and bobs in World of Disney, and a quick snack of chocolate covered Strawberries for me and Jo…lovely…and I finally got my silly Disney hat…it’s a Disney tradition of mine to buy a new silly hat every time in here…this time, it was a Goofy cap…brilliant.
Pick up a McDonald’s for everyone on the way back…mental busy as always…but for food pretty quickly…dinner in Grandmas room…”do you like my new hat Gray?”…oh thanks dad…the hell you thanking me for? This is my hat!! Guess not, I’ll have to get another tomorrow then…been eyeing up the Donald one anyways!!
Early chill night for the rest of the evening watching some of the Disney Channel…when in Rome and all that…eating some chocolate eggs from Sunday…last full day tomorrow, back to Disneyland park…see if I can get Gray on Hyperspace Mountain!! Or at least the Phantom Manor again.
