So on to Day 2, woke up LATE, since I said that i would get up at 7am so i could go eat breakfast, and meet Raptor and his boyfriend for 9:45am, maybe i just spend too much time getting ready lol. However i woke up at 8:45am and had to quickly get washed, and of course took about 5 minutes putting gel on my hair haha, and then walked to breakfast, of course had to go to breakfast fast, and then run straight through Disney Village and hit the studios fast, so i just got to the studios and at the lilo and stitch stage just in time and saw that Raptor, his boyfriend and Raptor's sister and her boyfriend were sitting on a bench there so went and joined them.
We then talked for a little bit, of course me not fully understanding due to the language barrier between english and flemish, thankfully Raptor made it a little easier speaking to me in english. We watched Goodmorning Walt Disney Studios, i even got Miss Pinky and some other cinefolias guys autograph just cant make his out easily. We then walked over to the fast food place in Studio1 called Restaurant en Coulisse, here i had a drink of spirte which Raptor said he would buy me since i sent him a WDW planning DVD a couple of months back, and the rest of them had their breakfast there. After we walked over to one of my favourite VEKOMA coasters Rock N Rollercoaster, and wow what an experience, i can't believe that it had been so long since i had been on it and it was just a 5 minute wait if that, and the smoke so much adds effect to it, which seemed to be some in there for once as compared to last october.
We noticed that after rock n rollercoaster that Lilo and Stitch was about to start, so we walked over and sat on the ground with the kids, and watched this fabulous show, even got a video of this when the cm performing the female actress called the name Goofy when it was Pluto she was talking to, now that was an interesting mistake when a cm calls a character thats very well known the wrong name. At the same time as me filming and laughing thanks to that little mishap kids kept on coming and sitting behind me and Raptor, we even offered them to sit in front so we did not block their view but they did not come forward strangely, maybe we just creeped them out too much. Or could have been us knowing what would happen next and sometimes narrate what was coming from the speakers. I still love Can't stop falling in love with you song from this show, to me one of the best choices of songs to be used in such a nice show ever. I mean it's so good i am listening to that song all the time at home too, reminding me of it. The show this time had every part performed including the limbo scene, and my camcorder caught many little bratty children at the stage thinking they would be fantastic and stay there even after they were told to sit down. Then the show was coming to a complete finale and we decided that we would have to jump up and run to Cinemagique just behind just before the cars started leaving so we could catch the next showing, so we jumped across the ropes to Cinemagique, and wow this brought me back to the world of cinema, i mean i had seen it before many a time, but this seemed so fantastic and i actually got tears in my eyes in some parts for some reason, the audience also seemed pretty good at clapping at parts, unlike the next day when i saw it. I am still as always amazed with how they achieve the sections when the sword comes through the screen and when he goes through the door, but i just found so hilarious was i remembered that at the end the magician guy says look it's a door, turn the knob, i just really felt dead happy by this point. Coming out of this, i noticed the wonderful studio1 shops, went window shopping again, god i love doing that, i also noticed the CD's were missing from studio1 too, but i believe the CD won't come for a while yet anyway so lol. Venturing out of Studio1 we hit yet another shop, god what a surprise that was, of course more window shoping, well apart from buying some more cool pins, Pirates of the Caribbean and a Hotel New York pin, as you can tell i like pin trading.
Then left the studios, had a nice walk as usual talking amazingly, and went to Fantasyland to see what the queues were like for Casey Junior and Le pays des contes de Fées, sadly these were too long, so a nice walk was done instead, including feeding of birds opposite the Mad hatters tea Cups, after this we walked around to Discoveryland, and decided to go to Adventureland and get a fastpass for Indy, some were still available for about 3pm, so we got them, of course me, Raptor and his boyfriend were so much wanting to walk we lost Raptors sister and her boyfriend since we walked away and for about 10 minutes we were completely puzzled where they were, and then i realised they may still be at the fastpass entrance, i mean how obvious that was. Walking again we lost them again since they thought we were going to see characters when we walked past Colonal hatheys or however its spelt but we were not and were venturing on to Frontierland, so Raptor had to go and get them and i had to go and make sure his boyfriend did not walk too far away since he was walking away not realising noone was following him. On the way before that I had my first ever experience of the moving rock in Adventureland, of course we got there and a little girl had to sit on it so Raptor was trying to take photos of it both sides down, but the girl kept on moving it every time he tried to take the picture lol. Of course no visit to Disneyland would be done well without getting a fastpass for Big Thunder Mountain, of course a fastpass for 8pm and when i got it at 1pm a bit pointless, suppose i did not need the normal fastpasses anyway since i had hotel fastpasses since i got to go on fastpass rides when i wanted to with that type of fastpass.
After this good olde fastpass, went for lunch in Au Chalet de la Marionnette, which for me was something new, i was amazed by the detail and so nice to see the story of pinocchio on the walls. Plus the burger was not bad there either, and with Raptor's annual pass discount i got on my food it was even better. We sat and talked here for a while after eating, more window shopping was done in Fantasyland, but i traded a woody pin with a cast member for a year 2000 WDW pin he had on his laynard, so that was quite cool now i have a celebrate the future hand in hand pin, i mean kinda corny but nice slogan. Right now here's where my memory goes useless, I think we went to Indy next since it was time to use the fastpass I believe, of course Indy was fantastic in it's forward motion, and I love this coaster a load more this way apart from an annoying cast member splitting us up, so I ended up on one train with Raptor; and his boyfriend and Raptor's sister ended up on the train in front which was really irritating, even after a lot of moaning from us 3 at the cast member he still refused to let us all sit together, the stupid idiot he was lol. Really the fastpass on Indy is really quite uncivilized in many areas, such as when we joined the normal queue line to go up the temple steps. The only other thing was that I got a little headache from it, but still a fantastic ride. It was now time to go back to Main Street, walking there was amazing we even found the Main Street Band playing on the band stand at caseys Corner which was so fantastic to see, never seen them before so really cool to see. Went into Casey's Corner and I took some photos inside. Again we went window shopping, thought it was odd to find the marriage minnie and mickey plushes, since when did DLRP care about marriage? DLRP can make things so funny sometimes, also we saw someone having a shave in Dapper Dans, which also I had never seen before, so also quite nice. Of course not too many days would be complete without at least seeing one parade, so off to the Studios we went and got the spot right at the end of the parade route, ending up so we could get loads of characters having fun at the end after they have got off their floats, was really cool how Rafiki, Pluto, Goofy, Minnie who I got to kiss the hand of and Mary and Bert came over to see us, no doubt all thanks to Raptor and his boyfriend being around.
After the parade, walked out the Studios, and walked back over to the Disneyland Park, of course taking a stop outside the Disneyland Hotel for some people to get a photo spot lol, then inside the park ended up again walking around a bit more, seeing some cool new things I had never seen before on Main Street such as the casting window on one of the doors, then walked to Frontierland and did yet again window shopping, I think I am seeing a pattern here lol, walked to Pocahontas Village, I was amazed to find the Molly Brown sitting there with the white tarps over the top, shame she was not in service it always used to make Frontierland feel so much more alive with them running. Then walked back through Frontierland and I said goodbye to the 4 of them, and called my sister who was not too happy to hear me since she had called me 2 times already 3 hours before oops, and also sent me a text message and I still had not answered that, so I ended up being summond back to the hotel New York, where I found them sipping cocktails, of course no one decided to buy me one (evil people) lol. Yes well suppose they had a right to be angry since they wanted to go for a meal at Annettes for the past 2 hours, so thankfully we ended up going about 6:15pm, the dinner was very nice and have to say not too badly priced either, not like I was paying, although sadly no grease lightning was performed, suppose this is either on later or just in low season.
My family had just eaten so their way of doing something great is not like normal families and go to the parks, but instead go to the pool in the hotel lol, so they just made me go swimming, which obviously I did not mind too much, and what a pool, even the outside pool area was open, so amazed I was I even stayed in for a whole 30 minutes, well could not stay in any longer had too much to see and do lol. Nearly lost my glasses here too, since I had not placed them in the locker, thankfully some nice person had left them at the reception area for the pool, and I got them back easily with of course french cast member not understanding glasses so had to say spectacles a few times, in the end she figured out what I was saying. Finally by this point with enough moaning at my mother and sisters we were going back to the park, but again since I love being alone and as far away from my family as possible I walked to the Village by myself and did window shopping, of course did spot Raptor, his boyfriend and Raptor's sister and her boyfriend on the way, though they walked past me like I was a stranger, suppose could have been because of my wonderful flat hair I had just aquired with going in the pool so my gel came off my hair lol. Now when my family finally arrived which was now about 9:15pm, ended up going and walking to the Disneyland Park, and what better time of night than my sister starting to moan she wants to ride Pirates of the caribbean, and having my other sister moaning about wanting to go to the Sweet Shop on Main Street, so me being very clever in certain things, decided well lets not do Pirates of the caribbean, of course did not tell my sister this, so went to the sweet shop and then had a nice walk through Discovery Arcade, we then came out at Central Plaza, well I could have easily lead them across the Adventureland, but no it would never do to miss Fantillusion or Wishes, so I lead them to a I know closed fantasyland, but they don't know till we get there, so we end up there and standing there to watch Fantillusion, which of course the music messed up a little with mickeys wonderful garden strangely playing during villains for a little time and villains playing during the royal cavalacade for a little time too lol. We then got ushered to go out via the big gate next to it's a Small World and go to Discoveryland, so we obviously did and walked round Videopolis, watched Wishes that night from around Constellations, not a bad view either, wishes as usual was fantastic, I loved it and really think Disneyland Resort Paris were right to adapt it how they did. Of course then we walked down Discovery Arcade back to the hotel, and that was the end of day 2.
We then talked for a little bit, of course me not fully understanding due to the language barrier between english and flemish, thankfully Raptor made it a little easier speaking to me in english.
