TUESDAY 26/10/10

Well today was our last day!!! :cry:  :cry:

We had a late breakfast again at around 9am, dropped our bags off with the luggage room and headed to the park.

The first thing Dylan wanted to do was go to Town Square Photography to get the picture of him with Dr Facilier in his outfit printed off so that he could give it to him.

As MNSSHP was on again tonight everything in the park was on an hour earlier so we queued to see MIckey Mouse at 10am

     

After meeting Mickey we saw the character train leaving and as we approaced Central Plaza it was just stopping and Dylan had a phot with Mr & Mrs Incredible.



We then headed off to Frontierland
     

     

When we got to Phantom Manor Jafar was already out so we knew there was a good chance Dr Facilier would be out soon but it meant we would have to wait to see which one it was (There was only one in Dylans eyes!)

And then out came Dylans Dr Facilier :D  He was absolutely great! Came straight over to Dylan and said hi and asked him how he was! Dylan told him he had brought him a photo and he was really impressed with it :thumbs:
He said to Dylan that if he arrived on Friday we must be leaving soon & Dylan told him today was our last day :(
He then told Dylan to come with him up to the cemetary and on the way was telling the pumpkin people "This is Dylan, did you see his halloween costume? we are going to the cemetary" He was absolutely brilliant and made Dylan feel really special! He asked Dylan if he had seen the Princess & The frog film and if he knew what happened at the cemetary (luckily he had seen it and did know what happened). He spent alot of time chatting to Dylan about general things and when we got to the cemetary he told Dylan how to pose and had a few photos  :D

     

He was absoultely Brilliant and after a few photos and a long chat he said it was nice to meet us & he hoped we enjoyed our last day and that he better go back! Dylan promptly said that Dr Facilier was the BEST character in Disneyland and that he wanted to come next year for Halloween to see him again!
He was truly amazing and really made Dylans holiday the most memorable ever :thumbs:

We then went on the Mark Twain, something else we have never done, which was nice



And when we came back saw Maleficent and Prince John

     

We headed back towards Fantasyland for a quick wander around as we had lunch booked for 1.30pm and saw a few more characters

     

     

     

We had lunch in The Lucky Nugget.  Now we go to the lucky nugget on the last day of every trip as we have half board vouchers and it covers the cost of the character meal, and every time i say we wont bother doing it again! This trip was no different, food wasnt all that and we really wont do it again.  We did get to see a few characters but it was nothing great!

     

We didnt do much after lunch and just after 3pm found a nice spot on Main Street to watch the parade! By the time the parade came it wasnt a good spot at all, i had to stand behind Dylan in the end as so many people were pushing and shoving! It was a bit of a joke! The Parade came from the opposite direction today too which was unexpected!

     

     

     

     

     

     



And i couldn't resist taking a photo of the volume of people after the parade



The posters were about for MNSSHP tonight and Dylan was gutted that we couldnt stay for an extra night and do it all again as he had so much fun :(

     

We knew we had to leave the park just after 6 to go and get our bags fromn the Disney Express counter and Dylan wanted to spend his last hour or so in the studios.  

     

We had a quick photo with Buzz and then went to see what the queues were like in Toy Story Playland

     

All 3 rides had long queues, RC Racer and Parachutes both 45 mins and Slinky Dog 30 mins.  I told Dylan the slinky Dog didnt look like a 30 minute queue and as we still had an hour til we needed to leave we queued and was on the ride within 15 minutes!

     

We then went and had a look round the shops and Dylan brought a few pins and i got a nice photo frame! Dylan also saw a man in the shop had a lovely Kelly pin on his lanyard. It was in a heart shape with 3 princesses on it and Kelly underneath :D He was so pleased with himself when the cast member agreed to trade it with him and gave it to me as a present, bless him!

By now it was time to leave and we wandered over to get our bags and check in opened at 6.15pm

Dylan was really upset to be going home, I was too but I know its not long and we will be back to the magic ;)

Our trip was fantastic, definately the best so far and we met some lovely cast members!

I cant wait to go back and experience the magic of christmas :D

sounds like you had such a good holiday, and that was a great trip report  =] and that CM who was Dr Facilier, he must have been jsut oozing that disney magic that keeps us all going back for more, especially since he was so fantastic with dylan! i hope hes still there in feburary when i go.... i am in love with the princess and the frog atm.... but something tells me he will probably only be around during the halloween season which is a shame becasue he seems so fantastic at what he does! =/

Dr Facilier is only there during Halloween which is such a shame because you are spot on he was oozing in the Disney magic!

Brilliant trip report, and wonderful photos. =D> I am so jealous that you are going back so soon and then again early next year, wishing it was me. Hope you have a lovely time. I have to agree about halloween being so much better than expected, I didn't know what to expect but it was great.We will definately be going back.
