Rachel's Next Adventure

My fiancé and I went to the cinema last night for the first time since we saw Cars 3 in July! Here is his review of Thor: Ragnarok. The third instalment in Thor’s corner of the Mar vel Cine matic Universe starts off with Thor finding himself in a bit of a predicament, caged and chained by Surtur, the fire demon. It transpires that this was all a ruse to get information and he quickly breaks his chains, “destroys” Surtur, steals his crown and brings it back to Asgard, where Loki has fooled everybody into believing that he is Odin. Thor, however, has been told by Surtur that Odin is not on Asgard and sees straight through the ruse, leading to them briefly visiting earth and encountering Dr. Strange and then meeting Odin who promptly dies. This all seems like spoilers but… it’s not. Thor’s sister Hela then returns from banishment and destroys Mjölnir with her hand. Loki screams to return to Asgard, leading to them being transported, with Hela who sends Thor and Loki out o

The final day! We actually made it to EMH for 8am according to my notes! I'm not entirely sure I believe them though, I have a feeling it was 9! We had two rides on Buzz, picked up some last bits of shopping, and then headed back to the hotel to finish packing and check out. Once that was done we went to pay a visit to the Dragon under the castle, we rarely visit here anymore which is pretty sad really. We headed over to POTC, but it was closed so we went on Phantom Manor and then had an early lunch at Hakuna Matata because we'd need to have dinner early too to fit in with my tablets. After lunch we used our Hotel FastPass on Peter Pan and tried again to ride on POTC, but it was still down. We headed over to Fantasia Gelati for a nice ice cream, although this time they didn't give me a years supply of smarties alongside it. After our ice cream we went on It's a small world and then used a fastpass on Buzz Lightyear,

Our morning was pretty much the same as the day before. We made it into the parks for 8:30am and managed to do Buzz Lightyear twice and have a ride on Star Tours before rushing over to the Adventureland rope drop - only to find Pirates of the Caribbean was down! So we headed over to Phantom Manor which I think was possibly the first time we'd been on it this trip. We then headed back down to Main Street and shared some 25th anniversary star nuggets at Casey's Corner before heading over to Walt Disney Studios to watch the new Star Wars shows and do some shopping. I'm still grumpy that they closed my two favourite shops in the entire park and that Vinylmation are being phased out! We headed back to the hotel to drop off our shopping and then headed back into Disneyland Parc, it was raining heavily again so we rushed over into Hakuna Matata for lunch, when we came out it was still raining heavily so we picked up some ponchos and headed down to the Cabl

Now, I know its been over a month since I posted the first day, so i'm not going to promise that this post will be great, my notes are pretty basic and its been two months since our trip! But here we go anyway... We got up early, my fiancé headed to breakfast (he took a video of the huge selection of the Disneyland Hotel's breakfast buffet, i'll be posting that up on Youtube early next year so make sure to subscribe! My Disney World trip videos are going up every Thursday at the moment and from the end of November there will be a Disneyland Paris Christmas trip video going up every Sunday!) I had picked up something the night before and put it in our fridge for my breakfast as I need something full of fat and protein to take with my tablets. We got ready and rolled into the parks at 8:30am - yup, thats right, even though we were in the room right above the park entrance we still couldn't make it into the parks for 8am! Our EMH rides were Buzz Light
