So, I`m enjoying just wandering around and taking pictures here and there.
I even went for a seat in the shade outside Finnegans as it was getting extremely hot now.....a woman sat down beside me and started chatting about anything and everything...then she said......she was waiting for her dad which surprised me as this lady wasn't particularly young by any means, I would have guessed late 60`s...….but she said her dad was on one of the coasters...…
I thought I`d misheard...…..but no, she went on to talk about him and how he enjoyed the high life and was such a thrill seeker......she clearly wasn't by the disdain in her voice towards her father`s choice of activity......lol.....
I got up as she was an unusual lady who didn't seem very happy at all......I like to be surrounded by happy and positive people......folks who spout negativity and doom aren't folks I want to engage with.....so I extricated myself politely from her conversation and took some more pictures...…..
I liked this little façade...….it looks like a little tearoom from the turn of the last century....and when you look in the window you can see little delicacies and delights from a past time that was more formal than today....my pictures didn`t turn out very clear but you should have a peep in next time you pass...…
I head back to the Christmas Tree and see if I can see them heading down from RRR.....nope, no sign.....so I wander some more...…..
I just happen to see these lovely ladies appear in a festoon of parade......they are so impressive and I loved seeing the lady who is Marilyn Monroe.....she is very pretty and the dancers around her make a beautiful picture opportunity...….but as my guys aren't around, I give it a miss.
I wandered back up a little and was beginning to wonder where my guys were...….they surely couldn't still be on RRR...….but maybe they were...…..they do love this ride, even when it is rough.
If Ben & Jerry`s had been open I`d have laid bets they may be in there...……me, you might find me in a cocktail bar.....Tom you`d find anywhere there is sci fi stuff......but Kyle......anywhere that serves chocolate in any form is where I`d look for him.....
I do like to see the trains passing between the parks...….it is only a fleeting vision you have of them, but it`s still nice to see.
So, after I take this picture of the HE, I glance up the street and see them both coming out of The Mummy????
They had done The Mummy without me!!!!!
I had a very bemused look on my face.....and they looked confused as to why I looked bemused...….it was one of those moments of ……..."what???"
Turns out they thought I didn't want to ride The Mummy and had misunderstood when I said I`ll get you outside The Mummy.....they thought I meant after they had been on it...….and turns out they had been on it four times without me!!!! lol...…this was certainly going to be a day of misunderstandings...…...
We had a quick bathroom break and went to San Francisco area...….
This is so beautiful...…..we just kind of mooch around here for a while and Tom, camera now firmly ensconced back with him, snaps away and gets many pictures of the area...…...
We buy a couple of bottles of water to share between us and we are stood when a man calls my name...…I turn and he said his name was Matt......ColoradoCarr on here...….he said he was more of a reader, but enjoyed the trip reports..….well, that is always nice to hear...….
We enjoyed a very nice chat and he said he`d wondered if he would see us as he knew we were here at the same time.....of course everyone knows Tom too, so we are quite visible apparently......lol...….he had a lovely son called Makana which was Hawaiian for his dad`s name where I believe he was originally from...….but it was so lovely to chat to another Dis member and a very nice one he was too...…….
Kyle still gets a little bemused when a stranger comes up and chats when they recognise us from these trip reports......it doesn't phase him or anything, I think he thinks it`s quite cool somehow, but he enjoys meeting folks too. I genuinely have lost count of how many folks we have met, some briefly and some have stayed friends for years.
It looked relatively quiet again today, but it was Sunday so I assumed it would get busier before too long.....
We wander round to Diagon Alley and all things Potter...….but of course we stop first for our usual photo opportunities...….but, I loved seeing the garlands round the fake London façade. The whole area really does lend itself to have Christmas decorations up as the real London certainly does.
It was beautiful now and we were really feeling that heat build up......it was barely 11am yet, but this was gorgeous.
We wanted to do the Knight Bus today, but the line for the conductor was rather long, so we thought we`d do it the next time we were in the park.....
Entering Diagon Alley is fabulous...….it is visually stunning and always takes us by surprise how impressed we are with it every single time...…..
Always something to photograph, and with the added decorations it looks ultra pretty...…..
And at this point I regret not saying Pardon when Tom spoke to me this morning instead of just saying yes as I did...…..
This camera is fabulous..….amazing pictures, love how it works...….but......the battery isn't great......so we bought another battery after our last visit and make sure they are always charged up...….and we try and bring it with us every time...…..he looked and asked me for the spare battery...…
Go back 3 hours or so ago...…….
Tom had asked me from the other room this morning...…"Have you put the spare battery in your bag" and I hadn't really heard him and was concentrating on something else......and had just said Yes. OOPS!!!
So, he now informed me the battery had died and we couldn't take any more pictures...……..
And this was our exact words...…….
Now, whenever we hear someone say "You can`t be serious"...…..our childish brains automatically switch to Airplane mode and do the famous don't call me Shirley either out loud or in our brain to ourselves....but we each know what the other is thinking.......….and no different today. We could still giggle even though I was mad at myself for not listening.....and Tom was annoyed he hadn't confirmed what he`d asked me...…..
Well, these things happen...…..
We head to do Gringotts and I must admit I feel a little lost not taking pictures...….well, Tom taking pictures......and after we do Gringotts which was a lot of fun and more or less a walk on with EP today.....I decide they should go do MiB and Simpsons and I`ll walk back to the hotel and get the spare battery and then meet them in Backwater Bar in IOA for lunch...……
So that's what we do...…..they head off for a marathon run on MiB while I walk back in this beautiful sunshine to the hotel...…..if only I`d listened...……
More to come...……
