Bog-normal, as I think Leyfy’s husband calls it. Andy, on the other hand, is the polar opposite of me tastebud-wise, and ordered a peppermint decaf latte.

He does indeed!

I love your tales of the people you end up next to in Disney- I find these situations one of the best parts of a trip. You just don't get the same quality of loud public conversations in the UK!

Haha! Your neighbour definitely knows it’s Christmas. Except it isn’t.

I do love a random conversation. Strictly overhearing rather than participating though!

The queue was just unbelievable - or rather, the people in it.

I laughed at the cleaner moment too. Especially as we were like total robot sheep and just joined the queue before we realised. Ha!

If you manage to rustle one of those glasses (or maybe two, one for me) you’ll be my total hero. Not that I condone stealing, but hey, Disney take enough from us.

Y&Y is a great meal. Good choices on the menu, portion sizes are just right and if you’re paying oop, good value too, especially given the location. Even better value with $25 off and no need for an ADR. Highly recommended.

I did an actual lol at the snow sales conference comparison.

I have to admit my daughter had one of those horrific light up bubble horrors. It also played “under the sea” on repeat. 🤦

I do wish I’d had the cupcake now. Hindsight and all that...

Haha, I’m glad someone got that one. I have to admit I did a little snort (not THAT kind) to myself too. Laughing at my own jokes, dear me.

Wait. What? It played music? Oh my. You must have been going out of your mind. At least we couldn’t hear the music over the general park noise. Good job too or I don’t think I’d have had anywhere near as good a holiday. Poor you.

No lie, I was the only person in the whole audience who did a loud belly laugh when he proudly announced his name 👏🏼

Maybe you carry a dictaphone ()

Lovely day & as always can't wait to read more

Thank you!

No dictafone but I write for a living so I’m fairly practised in scrawling bullet point notes that remind me of the situation. But that’s why I’m churning the report out so quickly (I’m just starting to write day 11) as I’m scared I’ll forget a little gem that made me laugh.

Also big lols at you getting trapped on the train! You’re way too polite! I’d have gotten by the pests! Ha!

Ok, so the Nomad lounge looks UHMAZING. And you know how much I love sliders! Stop bashing them woman

I must get me a Landry card! Just for Yak & Yeti alone! How cheesy are the wontons? Are we talking sweet like cheesecake? Cos I could get on board with that! Also, is that an apple on the napkin in front of A?

Omg Mr & Mrs Blue Eyes sound like a right pair of gypes! Wow!

JBJB sounds really good! Love the projections on ToT too! Oh and I sympathise with the bubble wand thing. Or any lighty up stick thing. Pain in the chops!

What an epic day! Loved it xxx

Haha nice edit! Andy really does do that tummy rubbing thing - I’ve got photos of him doing it. He caught me this time though:

You have to go to the Nomad lounge. It was just so relaxing, and as I may have mentioned, the cocktails were delicious!

I think you’d be fine with that dessert. It’s not cheesy at all. Possibly like cheesecake (except I don’t like cheesecake). Like super sweet but with a little sour tang. More like yoghurt maybe. But in a good way.

I had to scroll back and check the photo! It does look like apple but it was a lime wedge from my prawns I think. Eagle eyes!

Gypes *laughs for days*

Glad you enjoyed reading! I enjoyed writing this one - it was a good day! xx

Ahahaha I forgot about that Instagram post of the belly rubbing! He’s my hero!
