Wednesday 19 October
I'd been a tad cold during the night but slept ok. I woke Lewis at 7:15 and we tot ready for EMH. We left the room via our terrace door, DH let us out and locked it behind us. Agreed we'd be back for 9:15 for breakfast.
Socks for today
The village was quite busy with people and as we approached the Disneyland Hotel I could see that it was actually quite busy at the gates. It was cold but I could see the sun trying to creep out so hopefully would stay dry.
**Annual Passes - something I noticed. We have Classic passes that don't include EMH. Staying on site does give access by using the Hotel Easy Pass. I showed the pass to gain access under the entrance. I thought that I'd also need to show this when scanning our passes at the ticket machine but I didn't. I just assumed that the pass wouldn't work as it would be automatically blocked during EMH. It seems it's not and will give access but is actually completely dependant on the CM checking the Easy Pass manually **
Then we were in
Mickey and Minne were at the boarding house, Chip and Dale at the bandstand. We didn't wait and headed towards the castle. Donald was just past Caseys.
Off into Fantasyland, the bramble was looking very atmospheric with clouds of smoke all around
Carousel was all lit up but not running
We headed to Peter Pan, keen to see the new paint job. There was a small queue outside the entrance, CM saying tech problems, so we went for Dumbos instead and I think were the only ones on.
Checked over to Peter Pan and was now on again
They've done a wonderful job of this, really bright and vibrant inside. Well done Disney
Dumbo was now a bit busier
Carousel was now running but we didn't stop.
We tried to take the stairs at the side of the Castle for Discoveryland but it was closed off.
The Christmas Shop always looks lovely, even when it's closed
Next up was Buzz, walk on
The photos weren't working at the end of the ride.
Sun starting to shine
We wandered back down Main St taking in the scenery as we went
Windows looking beautiful as always
Off through the Village
And back to our room - here it is, right on the corner
Abbey was up and organised and let us in
We all then went for breakfast, this morning in the Parkside Diner. We hadn't been asked to choose slots when we checked in. Had a wait of about 5 minutes to get in. I could see the Manhattan looked busy and they were also serving breakfast in the New York City Bar, so it must have been a busy day.
Love these table mats
I didn't take any picture of breakfast but it's the same as previous, bacon, srambled egg, veal sausages and the best hot pancakes ever.....also had some croissants and DH had cereal and toast.
Filled up we went back to the room to pick up some gloves/hat and coats. Still miss seeing the characters in the morning here
Abbey and I had our matching Minnie t-shirts on
Although, never to be seen in the parks as we were all wrapped up
Soon we were back in the park, it was about 10:30 now. First job was for Abbey to find some ears.
Lewis had to try on a pair too but didn't get them...
Into the park now with some more photo ops
