It wouldn’t have been right if we didn’t have to queue to get into Disney, however there are limits to everyone’s patience, even us English who love a good queue. An hour and a half later I was gutted as we were so late getting into the park, it just didn’t seem fair! On the plus side, we managed to have some good chats while we waited.

We had a stroke of luck the moment we got into the park – Sully from Monster’s Inc. came lumbering out of a doorway where we were stood! He whisked Kate off and danced with her and then we all got to hug him! Things were looking up at last.

I bought myself some Minnie Mouse ears to get into the party mood and off we went looking for rides with an expected wait time of less than 27 hours… It was so busy that only one ride we went on that day had a wait time of less than an hour. You don’t have to be a maths expert to work out that we were not going to go on many rides that day. I can’t lie that I was really disappointed, more for everyone else as I felt we had come all this way for no reward.

Lack of rides aside though, it was a really good day, the atmosphere at Disney parks is just magical and you can’t help but get swept away with it all and be as excited as the children about spotting Minnie and singing along to the Disney tunes!

We all had a good laugh and the rides we went on were good fun. We even got Janice on a ride that set off at G-Force, I had to keep checking she was alright!
