MK

Of course, next on the park list was MK, and Nicky did a great job of securing us 'lightning lane' passes for Tron - boarding group 38. We set off first, with Nan to follow a little later, planning to get the bus, but switching to car when it turned out that the wait was rather long.

The ferry ride from TTC was a little chilly (the forecaster had warned that we would have to suffer two days with highs only in the 70s before consistent 80s for the next week or more!) and we arrived in time to ride the people mover before it was time for our boarding group. As always, some nervous anticipation before a new ride, but I think it is fair to say that we all loved it (i.e. came out - well I certainly did - like giggling idiots afterwards).

Afterwards we went and found Nan near the castle, and meandered over to Philharmagic and then the train station in Fantasyland / Toontown (whatever it's called these days) for a circuit and a bit to bring us back round to Main Street and away by monorail.

Afternoon trip to Premium outlets at Vineland, where we all got something (Nan - warm top, Nicky - Timberland boots, planning ahead for holiday next year, Jake - Adidas top, me - socks!) and home in time for a brief rest before heading over to the Polynesian and the Ohana restaurant and their skillet dinner which was scrummy, with the added bonus of watching the fireworks at MK part way through.
