Yesterday we made it to the MK
We had a dip in the pool first, followed by a meal at Logan's. Meal was nice but I ordered salmon for my main course which wasn't cooked through....
I hate having to send food back, DH is more forward than me in these situations though
I eventually spoke to the server who organised a second piece of salmon for me but by the time it had arrived everyone else's plates had been cleared from the table
so I dined alone
The salmon was very tasty, just a shame it wasn't right first time....
Got to MK, weather didn't look promising and in these situations DH always gets his knickers in a bit of a twist as he doesn't see the point in us 'braving' the weather when we are so flexible in our plans etc
Anyway we stuck with it as I had made reservations for the tomorrowland terrace dessert party....
We did POTC and haunted mansion. Girls were desperate to ride the speedway but the queue was massive so we made our way round into the new fantasyland instead. Girls wanted to ride Dumbo but we decided to ride the barnstormer first. Whilst in the queue we felt our first proper spots of rain so made a sharp exit, collected the stroller and took cover!
We waited about 10 mins but the rain showed no signs of stopping so we donned our ponchos and headed for the Terrace. We were showed to our table and told that the manager would come and speak to us regarding the girls peanut allergy. Nobody came so I went to get some drinks and weigh up the dessert offerings. I asked two further CM's for the manager and stood waiting for what seemed like an eternity
Eventually she appeared with a 'Mickey platter' with sorbet, fresh fruit and slices of cake all guaranteed nut free. She then showed me 'the book' which listed every dessert and it's potential for different allergic reactions. This was really helpful and I wonder why the information isn't more freely available?
Anyhoo, the girls were thrilled and tucked in, DD2 declared she felt sick after 4 small cookies and a bowl of ice cream
The rain continued to fall but we watched the 'show' before wishes and Wishes itself from the terrace. The weather did put a bit of a downer on things but us girls enjoyed the whole experience.
On leaving the MK the main street was packed and in the 'confusion' we ended up on the wrong ramp upto the mono rail. Two lads in front of us asked the CM if this mono rail took them to the car park and the CM replied they needed to go back and get in the in the other queue as this monorail went to the resorts.
I was relaying this info to DH when the CM asked if I needed help. I asked if this monorail would take us to the MK car park, he replied yes, just get off at stop number 2
Well what a stroke of luck, we were on the monorail in less than 2 minutes and back at the car park in the blink of an eye. The queue for the 'proper' carpark monorail was colossal and I would guess that we would have had to wait a good 30/60 mins in that line.......
So, no plans for today, overcast at the mo..... Hoping it will warm up as we were cold y'day at the MK! Never thought I would say we were cold on an August trip!!!
Ttfn.
