How good was this – an extra day at Disney for free! I knew there would have to be an upside to their computers being down on the first day we arrived.

Having this extra day was great. It really took the pressure off, and meant that we could relax today and on the previous day, rather than have to run around the try and squeeze everything in.

Campbell managed to get quite a few character meetings in: Pooh, Eeyore, Tigger, Woody, Jessie, Pocahontas and Buzz.

I think the highlight was something we’d never bothered to do before: We took the time to sit down and have a nice lunch in one of the proper resturants. Luckily, Bren had gone down to the Blue Bayou as soon as we arrived, and had made a reservation for us. People that were just turning up at lunchtime were facing a two hour wait to be seated.

Anyway, The Blue Bayou is inside, and dark. It’s supposed to be like sitting outside a restaurant at night in Louisianna. The Pirates of the Caribbean ride actually goes past on one side, so you’ve got a river there and everything. The food was delicious, servings huge, and the service typically Disney-good.

After lunch, we made good use of the FastPass service for jumping the queues at Space Mountain. Bren came on with us, and loved it. So much so that we did it again. Very cool ride.

At the end of the day, we caught the monorail out to the Downtown Disney district, and had dinner in the Jazz Kitchen. This was great – more good food, with some cool jazz played live. Does life get any better?
