Photopass
So for those who dont know what a Photopass is we basically paid i think $99 to have a photo taken in the parks and we got a card and they scanned it every time they took a photo, so obviously going on holiday with 2 people you never get photos together to this meant we did, we also got to add loads of pictures on them too so this is a tiny portion of what we got.
Well that took ages, hope you have liked reading the blog and we are pleased to say we are going back next month woo hoo!

Last Day
On our last day we had to be at DTD for 8am I think it was however none of the buses went that early and not to DTD we planned on getting the lynx but we couldn’t get to the stop with all our stuff so we got a taxi to the bus stop, the taxi man conned us into taking us to DTD, being our last day we were running out on money so agreed a price, but when we got out he tried to say he hadn’t said the original we were so mad, but we didn’t have anymore than what we had agreed and gggrr mad thinking about it now!!
We ended up getting out and left him shouting at us, checking in with virgin wasn’t a problem other than one of our cases was really cheap and the handle had all but fallen off lol our cases thankfully were all in weight,- we took 2 but left with 4!!
We were done by 9 and as we weren’t being picked up till 3 for the airport so we had a walk around DTD and a mcdonalds breakfast, we sat a bit enjoying the view.
We waited for the Cinema to open and were pleasantly surprised by how cheap it was we went to see Nick and Nora
this was really good and have just bought it on dvd. We struggled to fill the day really but wondered from shop to shop and eventually got picked up at 3 ish for the airport.
The flight back was not great we were sat a the back in the 2 seats which I had heard were good but I found them so bouncy and horrid I had such a bad head and the fact the toilet was behind me people kept leaning on my chair while they were waiting. So not great flight but I didn’t let it stop me enjoying my holiday.
We ARE VERY EXCITED TO BE GOING BACK ON THE 6TH September
Thanks for looking, off to look for the photopass photos!

Thursday- Wet and Wild and Mickey's not so scary halloween party!
leaving from our itrolley stop
we had a bit of a lazy morning and headed down to this all you can eat place for brunch, que really unflattering photo,
we did a little bit more shopping in the prime outlets which are my favourite, then we headed over to Wet and Wild,
we got there a bit later and it was packed and really hot with no shade for us to sit in, not liking water parks much rob headed off on the rides on his own while i frazzled in the sun. He went on his scariest ride ever where you are standing nearly vertical and the bottom of the floor just drops out beneath you eeekk
This is it scary stuff, here are a few photos from our day there
Next we thought we remembered seeing a fancy dress shop near by so we could get costumes for that nights halloween party, when the i-trolley didnt come we thought we would walk it, this was a stupid idea it was miles away and everytime we left a troley stop one came by the time we got there we were nearly passing out and the costumes were so expensive, i got some wings and a wand and rob got some facepaint.
We headed back to the hotel to get ready, but left it a bit long at the hotel really so when we got on the bus we were still getting ready.
and who said the lynx bus was scary lol
We were mighty impressed with how the park was dressed up
Yes i am aware i look 6mths pregnant in this photo lol
And now to the fireworks show
We loved the halloween party and wished we had got there a little earlier they were giving out loads of sweets it was great.
So thats it just a trip to the bus stop which was a bit of a long wait
