Great day. Loved the pics. We’ve never done a show in Orlando. Maybe this time?

Cirque at home has not really registered Need to get into action on this.

Today was such a special one and I think will remain with us forever.

Will now be looking for Ovo tix in Leeds

FoP is definitely beyond words and well worth the early morning start

Where o where is that photopass opportunity at Disney Springs? Why have I never seen these? :arm: Lovely photo of you all

What a lovely surprise for the boys. So nice you got to see La Nouba one last time and finish on a high

Eagerly awaiting Day 16

This years Pre trippy - I am thinking will be written in the Premier Inn at Manchester Airport
Fast pass booking is proving a pain as there is nothing for FoP once we mover off site at 60 days-0 so once again sums up exactly why we did this day last year. get in for opening and accept that you will be at least an hour.


As for Disney Springs - we have been in this place on every single visit to have a photo with Photopass and latterly Memory maker - It is hidden and they don't exactly jump out at you.
It is in the building behind Ghirardelli's. It is hidden and is actually next to guest relations.
If you have an ultimate ticket with MM included just head to Guest relations and ask about the opportunities to have a Memory Maker photo taken as a family.

Like I said they don't make it totally obvious and last year had adapted the pictures available to include different backgrounds -We had a main street one taken but I still feel it is nowhere near the real thing.

Can see what they are trying to do but just a pale imitation of reality.



La Nouba will stay with us all forever - delighted we had a chance to see it one last time.


It seems to be a recurring thing for us - upcoming day will further emphasise this

Was brilliant to ride FoP again and a near two hour wait time is well beyond my usual limit - it is worth every single minute of waiting

Thanks for that information I see what you mean about the photo, although it's probably the only way of getting an empty main street photo these days

In for opening and be patient in the Castle viewing area and you will get a great photo opportunity at park opening - every one disappears rather quickly to a ride queue

Otherwise it is the masses on Main Street!

Have to admit - we were so lucky - we would have missed had the offer not been highlighted via The Dibb.
Have to admit it was as good as our very first watching and so good to say goodbye

Glad you enjoyed and hope you enjoy the rest of the trip with us.

Glad the pics were enjoyed - the shows available in the parks are outstanding so it can be difficult to justify the cost of additional add ons
The cost of our final La Nouba was much less than our final viewing.

If you ever fancy Blue Man Group - I would also recommend that if you are staying close to Universal

117 minutes ouch! Glad you felt it was worth it. We only managed one ride last year and this year our first AK day is on day 2 of our trip, even at 60 days I’m nervous about snagging FoP FP that early in a trip.

I love the boys’ shirts for dinner, perfect for Florida. My OH hates shirts so I can’t tempt him into a nice themed one for dinner at the Polynesian!

An amazing surprise! Cirque never really appealed to me but I am quite sad we never got to see La Nouba. Glad you had a lovely evening.
