Diary (1 August - 7 August)
FRIDAY 1 AUGUST 2008 WE SLEEP IN LATER THIS MORNING AND LEAVE TURKEY LAKE LATER. WE THEN GO TO AQUATICA AND GET PARKED UP FOR FREE AS THERE IS NOBODY ON THE BOOTH AGAIN. WHILE GRANDMA AND GRANDAD SECURED THEIR SEATS ON THE BEACH, WE WENT OFF TO SOME OTHER RIDES AND START TO QUEUE. LATER ON, WE CATCH THE SHUTTLE BUS TO SEA WORLD TO WATCH MORE SHOWS AND GO ON MORE RIDES. AFTER THE DOLPHIN SHOW, WE BUY SOME FISH AND FEED THEM. THEY CAME UP TO US ANYWAY AND IT WAS AN EXCELLENT EXPERIENCE. WHEN WE HEAD OUT, AN OFFICIAL GIVES US SOME MORE FISH AS THE FISH IS SPARE SO WE FEED THE STINGRAYS ASWELL FOR FREE! WE LEAVE SEA WORLD AND HEAD BACK TO TURKEY LAKE. TURKEY LAKE 5
SATURDAY 2 AUGUST 2008 TODAY WE HEAD OVER TO AQUATICA AND PARK UP FOR FREE YET AGAIN! WE IMMEDIATELY TAKE THE SHUTTLE BUS OVER TO SEA WORLD AND BUY AN ‘ALL DAY DINING DEAL’. THIS IS WHERE YOU CAN USE THE DEAL TO GO INTO ANY RESTAURANT AT ANY TIME IN ANY PARK AND TAKE OUT FOOD FREE OF CHARGE. WE USE THIS WISELY AND FEED US ALL EASILY. IN THE MORNING WE HEAD OVER TO THE ARCADES AND NATASHA WINS A BIG SHAMU TEDDY ON A GAME. EARLY AFTERNOON, WE HEAD OVER TO AQAUTICA AND I GO STRAIGHT TO THE RAPIDS AGAIN WHILE NATASHA GOES OFF WITH GRANDMA. MANY HOURS WENT BY AND BY THE TIME IT GETS LATE AND DARK, WE GET ON RIDES EASILY WITH NO QUEUES. AT 9:30PM, WE FINISH SEA WORLD AND AQUATICA FOR GOOD AND GO HOME TO TURKEY LAKE. TURKEY LAKE 6
SUNDAY 3 AUGUST 2008 AFTER WAKING UP WE GET STRAIGHT INTO THE CLEANING UP BUSINESS. NATASHA HELPS A LOT WITH CLEANING THE VAN, SWAPPING BEDS AROUND, TIDYING UP AND MAKING IT NICE. WE LEAVE TURKEY LAKE AT ABOUT MIDDAY TO GO TO WALMART. I BUY A ‘MAMMA MIA’ SOUNDTRACK CD FOR $15 WHICH I HAVE WANTED FOR A WHILE. WE THEN GO TO FORT WILDERNESS, WHICH IS OUR CAMPGROUND FOR 4 NIGHTS. CHECK-IN IS QUICK AND SIMPLE SO WITH NO DELAYS WE SETTLE IN AND EXPLORE. WE THEN CHECK OUT THE BUS SYSTEM AND HEAD DOWN TO THE STUDIOS TO COLLECT OUR PARK TICKETS. THEN WE GO TO DOWNTOWN DISNEY TO LOOK AROUND BUT THERE IS NOT MUCH THERE. WE GET THE BUSES BACK IN TIME FOR TEA AT 6PM. WE THEN SIT AROUND AND WAIT FOR MY MUM AND DADS ARRIVAL. AT ABOUT 8PM, THEY ARRIVE IN A MINIBUS, DROP THEIR BAGS AND HEAD OVER TO THE CAMPFIRE. WE ENJOY ROASTING MARSHMALLOWS AND SINGING ALONG WITH A BAND. WE DECIDE NOT TO WATCH THE MOVIE AND WE ALL GO TO BED AT THE MOTOR HOME. FORT WILDERNESS 1
MONDAY 4 AUGUST 2008 TODAY WE GET UP REASONABLY EARLY, READY TO SET OFF TO DISNEY’S TYPHOON LAGOON. WE KICK OFF THE DAY BY GETTING STRAIGHT INTO SHARK REEF. THIS IS WHERE YOU GET SNORKELS AND GOGGLES AND YOU SWIM IN THE SAME POOL AS THE SHARKS. WE GET ON QUITE A LOT OF RIDES BEFORE THE QUEUES BUILD UP AT LUNCHTIME. WE HAVE A QUICK DIP IN THE WAVE POOL BEFORE CATCHING THE BUS BACK AT MIDDAY. WE ARRIVE AT DISNEY’S ANIMAL KINGDOM AT ABOUT 2PM. THE FIRST SIGHTING IS OF THE ‘TREE OF LIFE’. THIS 145 FOOT HIGH TREE HAS ANIMALS CARVED INTO THE TRUNK AND THE BRANCHES. WE WATCH THE NEMO SHOW WHILE WAITING FOR OUR FAST-PASS TO BECOME VALID. WE QUICKLY CATCH THE PARADE IN AFRICA BEFORE HEADING OVER TO ASIA. WE ENJOY A KILIMANJARO SAFARI WITH SIGHTINGS OF WONDERFUL AFRICAN CREATURES. WE HEAD BACK TO DINOLAND USA TO USE OUR FAST-PASS AND GO ON OTHER RIDES. WHILE WE ENJOY THE MAGIC HOURS, WE GO ON EXPEDITION EVEREST, WHICH IS EXCELLENT. WE GET BACK TO THE CAMPGROUND AND MOTOR HOME FOR 10PM. FORT WILDERNESS 2
TUESDAY 5 AUGUST 2008 WE WAKE UP AND DECIDE TO HAVE A MORNING OFF DISNEY. AFTER BREAKFAST, THE OTHERS TAKE A BOAT OVER TO THE WILDERNESS LODGE WHILE I RELAX AT HOME. WHEN THEY GET BACK, WE HAVE LUNCH AND PREPARE FOR EPCOT. WE TAKE 2 BUSES OVER THERE AND START TO PLAN THE DAY. SEEN AS WE HAVE 2 DAYS TO DO EPCOT, WE TAKE THINGS SLOWLY AND JUST CONCENTRATE ON FUTURE WORLD. WE TAKE PART IN THE ‘TURTLE TALK WITH CRUSH’ WHERE AN ANIMATED SEA CREATURE INTERACTS WITH THE AUDIENCE. WE TRY TO GET ON THE BIG RIDES BUT THEY ALL HAVE A 2-HOUR WAITING TIME SO WE MISS OUT. WE GET ON ‘MISSION: SPACE’ LATER ON AND ENJOY AN INTERACTIVE SIMULATOR WHERE YOU CONTROL THE ROCKET. WE ENJOY THE 9PM FIREWORKS – ILLUMINATIONS: REFLECTIONS OF EARTH AND THEN HEAD HOME FOR A GOOD NIGHTS SLEEP. FORT WILDERNESS 3
WEDNESDAY 6 AUGUST 2008 WE WERE SUPPOSED TO GET UP EARLY FOR THE STUDIOS BUT WE SLEEP IN AND GET THE BUSES AT ABOUT 9AM. WE GO STRAIGHT TO ‘TOWER OF TERROR – THE TWILIGHT ZONE’ AND GET A FAST-PASS. WE DO OTHER RIDES AND SHOWS BEFORE USING UP THE FAST-PASS AND GETTING ANOTHER ONE FOR ‘ROCK N ROLLER-COASTER’. ONCE AGAIN, WE WATCH OTHER SHOWS AND GO ON OTHER RIDES BEFORE USING UP THE FAST-PASS. WE THEN GO OVER TO THE ACTION SIDE OF THE PARK AND DO THE STUNT SHOW, MUPPET 3D AND THE BACK-LOT TOUR. IN THE HEAT OF THE DAY, WE ALL START TO GET TIRED. WE SPLIT UP AND DO ‘TOY STORY MANIA’ AND ‘PRINCE CASPIAN IN NARNIA’. WE HEAD HOME EARLY TODAY AND GET BACK AT AROUND 8PM. FORT WILDERNESS 4
THURSDAY 7 AUGUST 2008 OUR PLAN FOR TODAY IS TO GET UP EARLY AND GO FOR THE EXTRA MAGIC HOURS AT BLIZZARD BEACH. WE ALL CATCH THE BUSES AND ARRIVE THERE AT 8AM. WHEN WE GET INTO THE PARK, MUM AND GRANDMA QUEUE FOR THE MAIN ATTRACTION, SUMMIT PLUMMIT WHILE I QUEUE FOR SLUSH ‘N’ GUSHER. AFTER I FINISH MY RIDE, I FIND DAD AND NATTY AND WE ALL GO ON TEAMBOAT SPRINGS WHILE WAITING FOR GRANDMA AND MUM. AFTER THAT RIDE, WE ALL MEET UP AND GO ON IT AGAIN. WHEN THE PARK OPENS TO THE PUBLIC, QUEUES START TO GET BIGGER SO WE GO ON THE LESS THRILLING RIDES AND ENJOY IT UNTIL LUNCHTIME. WE THEN LEAVE BLIZZARD BACH AND RETURN HOME TO FIND THAT GRANDAD HAS ALREADY CHECKED OUT. WE ALL BUCKLE UP IN THE MOTOR HOME AND HEAD OFF TO GOLDEN KAROL FOR LUNCH. AFTER THE FILLING ‘ALL YOU CAN EAT’, WE SHOP AT WALMART BEFORE HEADING DOWN TO JAMIE’S HOUSE. ME AND NATASHA IMMEDIATELY NOTICE THE DOG HE IS LOOKING AFTER AND START TO PLAY WITH HIM. I THEN GO INTO THE MOTOR HOME TO PLAY ON THE COMPUTER SEEN AS IT IS THE ONLY CHANCE I HAVE FOR NOW. WE THEN FALL ASLEEP IN THE HOT AND SWEATY, MOTOR HOME. JAMIE’S HOUSE 1
