Disney Visit

OK so I am behind on my blogging! We've just got in from our first day t CHA but I will do a separate post with details of that. Yesterday we went to Disney for the day. We had a one day park hopper ticket and first stop was Disneys Califoria Adventure where I was dying to do "Soarin' Over California" I loved it and so did Mum despite nearly backing out in the line. We both agreed this was the best ride of the day!

Mr Monkey continued his adventures meeting various characters including the great mouse himself! Plenty of people asked about the monkey so we had to explain he was going to star in a new book! Someone even asked if monkeys like him were on sale in the park because they wanted one!

We spent time in both parks just taking in the Disney atmosphere, then we watched the illuminated parade and went to get dinner before the fireworks. There were huge queues for dinner but eventually we got in an Italian restaurant in Downtown Disney. We both had Rigatoni Bolognaise. It was good! No dessert as we couldn't fit one in but we had already eaten lovely enormous chocolate coated strawberries in Californian Adventure.

We went back to the park to watch the freworks but when we got there a Cast Member told us they were cancelled due to high winds!!! Well they have a very interesting definition of high winds!!!! We said it was a shame and it wasn't that windy but she pointed to the flag fluttering gently in the breeze as if it should be self explanatory! Shame. I love Disney fireworks and as they only do them on Friday and Saturday here in off peak season we won't see any :(
