An early start today! I got up at 6.15 and jumped in the shower. Ben and Laura got up at 6.30.

We were ready and at the bus stop at 7.05 and only had to wait 5 mins for a MK bus to pull up.

Got seated quickly after meeting Cinderella of course. Loved this for breakfast and I am planning on doing it agin next year on our first day.

We had the usual Pastry Basket, which was delish.

We loved the wands! I know its for kids but so glad we got them too, were at disney after all!

DSCN0346 by clarithy88, on Flickr

We left and it had been paid for and not having to pay any cash i.e. tip - ( we had planned on using our gift but couldnt when we tried to book ADR as we didnt have the giftcard so Laura put it on her mums credit card and we were each planning on paying her for it but Lauras mum insisted we didn't, a treat from her)

It was still before 9 so we waited at frontier land for rope drop. Dont think we wait too long and we headed straight for BTMRR which was a walk on. We then headed over to one of my favs splash mountain which was also a walk on.

We then went on the railroad to Main Street as we had to go sort out out photo pass

DSCN0361 by clarithy88, on Flickr
We had a wonder around Main Street, I just love the theming! We looked in some of the shops and nipped to the loo.

We headed to TomorrowLand and got a fastpass for space mountain. The wait was only 15 mins so we went on as well and we only waited 10 mins. Our fastpass was for 11.30-12.30

the wait was for 40 mins for Monster Inc so we went on Stich instead. Not my fav ride but was okay. Buzz was next with a 15 min wait but we waited 5.

Next was Carousel Of Progress which i loved last time! I had kinda spoke to Laura and Ben about it and they were excited but unfortunately were a wee bit disappointed. I loved it.

We returned to do use our fastpasses at space then headed to Cosmic Rays for some lunch

Laura had some chicken nuggets

I enjoyed the interactive q and think its a great idea! Some more disney magic.

I nipped into the christmas shop and bought two huge baubles, wish i had a pic. They looked fab on my xmas tree. I bought a tinkerbell one and a red one with holly leaves.

We were thirsty by this pointed so headed to Alhoa Isle for some dole whips! Our first ever! i really enjoyed mine and will be getting one next year too.

Waited 6 mins fot the tiki room and then got a FP for the jungle cruise. WE waited 20 mins for POTC. I love this ride but must admit the one at DLP is much better. At 4.05 we went and used out FPs at the jungle cruise.

We then decided it was time to leave. We had an ADR at Narcossee's and we got the boat from MK to the GF.
