15 Days Of Orlando Magic - Day 11, 1900 Park Fayre, Magic Kingdom & A Swim
I think we've covered all the above except for the Turkey Legs😄 We left the villa this morning at 8.45am leaving plenty of time for our 10am reservation at 1900 Park Fayre. After catching the bus from resort to the Magic Kingdom we head for the resort monorail to the Grand Floridian. Monorail black takes us around. Monorail selfie... humidity already got to my hair (curse of the curls!) I love the trip through the Contemporary hotel, it always used to fascinate me when I was younger. At the monorail station in the Contemporary. We arrive with 10 minutes to spare, the lobby here is stunning. We are seated and Winnie the Pooh was first to the table. After Pooh had left we were told by our server that we had enough time to go up to the buffet, this was Ryan's plate 😋 I went a bit lighter today with oatmeal and fruit. The mad hatter made his presence known and enjoyed singing to Charlotte and totally embarrassing her😄 He was hilarious! Alice came along to join our 'tea party' although she was disappointed that I was the only one drinking tea😊 Mary Poppins came and sat with us and we had a lovely conversation about London and Uncle Albert, she commented on Ryan and Charlottes good manners. 👍🏼 After breakfast we have a wander around the grounds. Such a pretty resort. Narcoossees, thinking of eating here on my next trip with mum. We have a look around the gift shop before getting the monorail back to the MK. Looks like vinyl is making a comeback in Disney too! Hat photo! Not a hat but a sword/shield photo😄 They had to duel... please note Charlottes duelling hat! A monorail ride later we are back at the Magic Kingdom. The Dapper Dans had just come out, they were really good 🎶 Charlotte spied a queue for Stitch whilst we were watching so joined that. I quickly joined her, Stitch liked her Tshirt and noticed my phone case which has a Stitch on it, he started running around and licked my phone😂 Ryan sneaks in at the last minute. We walk through the Emporium to cool off and find a couple of hats. 😂😂 Brilliant! Not to be left out... 😂 A quick selfie with Cinderella castle and we make our way to Tomorrowland for our Fastpasses for The Speedway & Space Mountain. Ok confession time, I've never done Stitch's Great Escape, it only had a 10 min wait so we went for it, what a funny attraction, not great but not awful, apart from the burp! 😝 Exiting via the gift shop gave us this hat photo opportunity. Our Speedway FastPass was now up, this ride is a tradition for us as a family and especially for Ryan and I to ride together. Brilliant as always, seeing as Ryan has recently passed his driving test he wasn't any better here!😄 Well it had to be done... 'There's a great big beautiful tomorrow'🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶 PeopleMover was next up. Our FastPass for Space Mountain was now valid, this ride is brilliant but ouch my arms! On the way out our names were shown on one of the screens, I just about caught it, the names are a bit faded at the bottom. We take the shortcut to Fantasyland Storybook circus and the train is just leaving the station. We have a look around Big Top Souvenirs and Charlotte chooses her snack credit for today. A giant Mickey head cookie😋😋 Ryan and I try a couple of hats. We all walk around to Gastons Tavern so that me, Ian and Ryan can spend our snack credit. Giant cinnamon roll anyone?! It defeated me I'm afraid to say! We also shared a Le Fous Brew, this was yummy, it's like apple slush with lemon foam. Our last FP of the day was for Peter Pan. As we were leaving the park I see that the new castle stage show Mickeys Friendship Faire was in in 10 mins so we stop to watch. What a lovely show and so nice to see something new here, I definitely recommend it. Princess and the Frog section. Tangled with my favourite 'prince' Flynn Ryder❤️❤️❤️❤️ Frozen... of course⛄️❄️ We then head back to resort for an afternoon swim and cool down. I get to relax with my book, I'm feeling sorry for myself here because as we were leaving MK I got stung on the leg by a bee🐝 it bloomin hurt! Just glad it was me and not the kids. Rather be sat here with a bee stung leg than home I guess! 🐝 After our swim we change and get the bus to Disney Springs for dinner at Wolfgang Puck Express. This was on recommendation from Dibbers. I had the rotisserie chicken and mashed potato. Ian had the bacon wrapped meatloaf. Charlotte chooses the margarita pizza. Ryan has the pepperoni pomodoro pizza. Ryan and Ian have vanilla baked cheesecake for dessert, Charlotte has a brownie and I choose a fruit cup. We walk back towards the boat dock for a ride home as my leg is killing me🙁🙁 damn that bee🐝😠 We walk past a few of the new food stand offerings, love the name of this one! A lovely view whilst waiting🙂 Another great day with lots achieved but certainly not rushed. Tomorrow Ian and the kids are going to Typhoon Lagoon, as I'm not a massive waterpark fan I've decided to have a solo day! Something I've always wanted to do so this will give me a little taste of solo travelling 🙂 I've got a FP for Soarin first thing at Epcot then I plan on getting the monorail to Magic Kingdom and then exploring at my own pace, I'm actually quite excited about this! We will then meet back up late afternoon at the villa. Thanks again for reading xx

Sorry about your bee sting, sounds painful!
The breakfast looked great, we love the GF hotel, and if you can dine at narcoossees I highly recommend the lobster bisque and nemo cupcake! Oh and wine on decking for fireworks... Love how your teenage son doesnt mind wearing all the silly stuff for photos! They look like they get on very well.
