Trip Report Forget about your worries and your strife. 🌞 Live trip report.

Quick recap of my pre-trip report to refresh memories or as just as catchup.
I (Mimi) am going on a solo trip to Disney World, 14 glorious days at AKL to do what I want, when I want.:joyfull:

This morning I woke up excited and ready to go, I threw the last things into my suitcase, double checked everything and happily went out in the rain to catch the bus to the train station. I gave myself plenty of time to get to the airport incase of delays etc. but luckily everything went smoothly and I arrived at the airport with plenty of time to share.
I looked around the shops a bit and took some photos to kill the time.

These cups in a cafe don't spin but are cute none the less.

Finally it was time to board my first flight.

This add made me smile as it was spot on.:)

The flight from Amsterdam to London was only 50 minutes and kind of boring except for the 2 Dutch ladies sitting in the row behind me. They were very unhappy that none of the flight attendants spoke Dutch,keep in mind that this was a British Airways flight, and complained loudly that it shouldn't be allowed for airlines to fly out of Amsterdam without at least one Dutch speaking crew member and the ladies refused to speak English to the crew. I didn't understand their logical at all and was happy the crew members didn't understand what they were saying. I was tempted to turn around to point out their stupidity but refrained. 🙊

Soon enough we landed safely at Gatwick, my hotel was easy to find and the check in staff were friendly and professional. My room is as expected, small and modern.

The shower is right in front of the toilet without a barrier:hilarious: not the best layout but fine for just a night.

No view as my room doesn't have a window.
Now I am just watching some TV, wishing it was tomorrow.:)

I loved the tour @Mr Ferret 88, so many interesting titbit.
Including the fact that there are 10 hidden Pascals in the Tangled Bathroom area, I spotted 3 so will have to go back.
The behind the scene look in Haunted Mansion was the best part, also saw the wedding ring.

And learnt that if you press all the instruments on the grafestone at the same time for 30 seconds a song will play.
Excellent way to start the day.:D

After the tour it was time for coffee (I added a little bit of smuggled Baileys:hungry:) and a delicious peanut butter cookie.

I checked the time guide and saw Muppets in History was about to start so I enjoyed my treat while getting an interesting take on American history. This show is really worth the effort, so funny and well done.

I finally watched the Friendship Faire Castle show after seeing @sheriffwoody photos of it. I only took one mediocre photo.

Glad you enjoyed your tour!

You are my new hero btw.. genius thinking on the Baileys. I wish I would have done something similar this past Friday night, or any Disney MK day ;)
