How rubbish am I? I completely forgot the best part of the trip (for Rob!) so while I remember I am updating my blog with it.
After we had breakfast and a wander around Rob wanted to go and look around at the Walt Disney Speedway. He had pondered doing one of the driving experiences on previous trips but never actually did it. So we drove over and had a quick look and then asked if they had any available slots for a ride-along– they were at lunch but we were told that when they came back they had plenty of availability.
So, Rob decided that he would do the ride-along and maybe do a driving experience on a later trip. It costs $99 and you get 3 laps of the track. We waited by the track until the drivers came back from lunch. Then Rob went and put on a race suit and got kitted out with his helmet and other safety equipment.
The 3 laps went by in a flash but Rob got out of the car with a huge grin on his face. Think he had more fun in those few minutes than in all of the rest of the trip!
After he was done we chatted with the drivers before getting a picture of Rob in the car (and ordering the DVD) and then headed back to the resort.
29th September
Today we were heading back to the Magic Kingdom and I really wanted to get there for park opening as I wanted to see the ‘show’ that they perform before opening the park. There were extra magic hours this morning so we had to be at the park by 8am.
We started the day with a ride on Buzz Lightyear – and somehow I managed to score an amazing 412,300! No idea how that happened – I just aimed randomly at stuff and the score kept jumping up by 100,000 each time!
After Buzz we rode the following rides:
· Space Mountain· Winnie the Pooh – First time
· Mickey’s Philharmagic – First time
· Peter Pan – First time
· Snow White – First time
· Splash Mountain x 3
· Big Thunder Mountain
· Liberty Belle
· Disney World Railroad
We also took a trip over to Tom Sawyers Island – another first – amazing the amount of attractions we haven’t done in the past!
We also grabbed lunch at Pecos Bills at some point during all of these rides!Around 3 we decided to take a break and walked back to the resort – that is the great part about Bay Lake Tower, not only do you have the monorail but you can also walk to the Magic Kingdom!
After our little break we headed back over to the Magic Kingdom as there were a few rides I still wanted to do and a couple of gifts to buy.
We rode the following:· Astro Orbiter
· Carousel of Progress – yet another first!
· Peoplemover
· Space Mountain
· Buzz Lightyear – no amazing score this time
We got a bite to eat at Cosmic Rays before heading back to the resort. I have decided that I prefer watching the fireworks from my balcony and not have to deal with the crowds leaving at the end of the night!
Rob had joked to his mum before we left that we could skype her so she could see the fireworks. Little did we know she took us seriously so we had to call her so that she could watch with us too. Not forgetting that the fireworks take place at 2am UK time!
So we gave her a call and we all watched the fireworks together! She was pretty excited – it is kind of fascinating to her that she can watch fireworks live over the internet!
