Up early to do Magic hour, had a croissant in the car on the way to the parks.
First stop was starbucks as I needed a coffee
On the way down Main Street we went into every shop to try and find 30th merch as we were there for the last week, not one item was to be found in the shops. We later found the blue ears and hand soaps on the cart outside the jack and the beanstalk shop behind the castle. We later found some spirit jerseys and more hand soaps in the World of Disney in the village.

We rode Star Tours and then queued to meet Minnie Mouse, now the queue here is in two parts both outside initially and then inside. The outside has no cover and no seating, although there was only 1 other family in front of us, we still waited over 20 mins to join the inside queue. It was then almost an hour to meet Minnie, again with no seating.

After this I needed to rest my back so we went to get lunch at the Market Deli, we both love the croque monsieur's from here, Shaz had the ham and I got the Turkey. Sharon grabbed a 30th celebration cookie and I got the Donald Duck cake

After food and my pain medication we watched the Dream Shine brighter parade, in our view this is one of the best parades dlp has ever done

I wanted to try the Mr Toad roulade so we walked over to Toad Hall, now this was a strange taste as I knew the cheese inside was like dairylea and didnt quite know how that was going to work in a cake. It did have that savoury cheese tang but that was slightly offset by the berry flavoured sponge, it wasnt a bad taste just odd

We then went to meet Mickey, no trip for us is complete without meeting him

We decided to go and watch Philarmagic and I got the Unhappy Birthday Ice Cream

After watching the show, we rode star tours again and then went to meet Darth vadar

After a couple more rides on Small World, Pirates, Big Thunder and Phantom Manor we headed over to the studios for dinner. Again we got items from the food festival booths. This time I went for pizza and Sharon went for Paella

We then got a cheese pretzel to share

We then watched the Marvel drone show, this was breathtaking and in my view better than the D light show

After the show we left the studios and went to Billy Bobs, we got two mocktails, a country style and a mojito and a portion of nachos to share

After these and a look round the World of Disney store, it was a quick drive back to airbnb and bed
