Quote from: "-breeno-"After washing, getting dressed etc we headed down for breakfast and were we in for a treat.  One of the perks you get for staying in an Admirals floor room is the addition of an "American's Breakfast", thats bacon, scrambled egg, chips, sausages and tomato, along with the normal breakfast, yum! :D  

Now I'm looking forward to that =D>  :wink:

Really enjoying this report :D   Thanks for sharing :)

Sorry for the delay of continuing the report, with the big match yesterday and being up the town today i haven't got much time to write it, but here is...

Day 3

The tried day of the holiday started a little different to the last day, because i woke up with my breakfast waiting for me :)  One of the perks in an admirals floor is the option on breakfast in bed so we thought we would try it for a day and me being me i was asleep when they knocked on the door with it, i could sleep through anything :P  As for the breakfast it was your usual DLRP brekkie, with the option of an american's breakfast at extra charge but we didn't have it.  After the breakfast we got ready for the parks and proceeded straight to WDS to see could we use EMH to full advantage again for Crush's Coaster.

When we arrived at WDS it wasn't opened so we joined the small(ish) queue for the gates, which grew, and grew, and grew.  At least we weren't bored to death waiting, Donald came out onto front lot and came over to us at the entrance and there was a band playing in front lot, not bad but when your trying to talk to someone back home on your phone you'd wish they would shut up :P  Anyway when the gates did open we headed straight for Crush, like many, many others.  We joined the queue which stretched out from the Crush entrance to Animagique! Was wasn't opened yet BTW but when we were in the queue was could see the new fastpass for Crush replace the flying carpets one and when we were queue we saw two men dressed in suits standing about half way between us and the fastpass, then another man in a suit joined them, they shook hands and started talking, i couldn't hear them but they but they were looking and pointing towards to fastpass.  Anyway as for the ride it was just as great as it was 12 months earlier, i need see any change since i was last on it but my mum thought the actually coaster part was darker than before.

After Crush we went onto ToT for my third time, sadly neither Bob or David was there :(  Ah well, it was still just as great, after that we went into La Terrasse for a drink and snack and i managed to some get photos of WDS.










Also i noticed that the back of Studio 1 was being painted, would of posted it here earlier but i was beat to it :P


After snapping a few pics we started to head to Disneyland Park, without getting a few photos of inside Studio 1.






When we arrived in Disneyland Park we went into a few shops, a few attractions and the got a bite to eat at the Cowboy Cookout before headed back to NPBC for, you guessed it, the refreshments :lol:



After the refreshments we decided to head over to the lighthouse just outside NPBC, we never thought you could go over to it but we saw people at it and going over to it the days before, there is a little path beside it that leads up to it.






After that we headed back to Disneyland Park where we went on Honey, I Shrunk the Audience for the first time in many years.  It was a lot more quiet than it was a few years back when i was on it, quite funny when in the pre show the presenter of the pre show said "Hello?  Is this thing on?  Can you hear me?", nobody said anything, then she said "Good" and continued talking :lol:  As for the ride itself it is still good but does seem a little dated, was much better when it was first opened.  After that we went to Videopolis for something to eat, the new toppings bar are great and very clever.  While we ate we watched the classic Disney shows and, wait for it javey... three of them in a row had Donald in it with a main part!  Great ones at that :D  Once we finished our meal we just went around the park going on various attractions and shops before heading back to the hotel that night to go to the bar again :D

And that concludes day 3 of the report, sorry about day 3 not being so great but i can't really remember much from that day but the next day (day 4) i remember the most and includes the "ride on the manor not to remember", coming tomorrow (hopefully) :)

Love the photos!! It might just be because we were there at the same time as you so the same bellhops were working, but we loved Bob and David too!! We went on ToT 13 times and they were there most of the time, they definately made the ride sooooo much better and they are our favourite bellhops!!! I am also intrigued by this ride on PM....
