Comestible Rewards Of A Disney Afternoon

Following a crammed and exhaustive morning in the park .......... 

..... while taking full advantage of every single second of the Disney Magic Hours .....

 

....... and embracing all the wonders that are Disney .......

..... Nigel tells us that the family then heads back to their hotel to "chillax", with a cheeky swim being order of the day   .......

.....followed by a spot of afternoon tea in their exclusive Compass Club Lounge .......  

........ it's a hard knock life for some! 

It's also where Nigel can never be sure which Disney character or image will appear resplendent upon the froth on his latte or cappuccino.

At the moment, he says, he's holding out, fingers crossed, for Donald Duck before they finally have to leave, what is he like?

As for the comestibles, well, it would be rude not too sample a little bit of everything, as it would  look remiss to let anything to go stale. 

That, according to the little fella, would be quite irresponsible, so firsts, seconds and thirds are usually order of the day, but making sure, of course, to leave just a little space for his evening meal later on ......... 

As for his very favourite treat?  It has to be, he's told us, the pink marshmallow cake pops, which he says are an absolute triumph, his current record being six at one sitting, but if there's only one left, he would of course leave it for someone else ...... until, that is, they bring out another tray, heaven help us!

It's A Small World

Nigel says he's been clocking up the rides in Disneyland .........

....... but as he's living for the moment and not through a screen, he's afraid his pictures are few and far between.

However, he says it doesn't help that you have to leap in and out of rides like a young, spritely gazelle when your spaceship/carriage/Dumbo/horse arrives, thus bringing the risk of getting your camera strap unseemingly tangled in all manner of handlebars etc. in your haste and excitement to get on ..........

...... coupled with the fact that a lot of the rides are also in the dark and where the little fella isn't entirely comfortable when using his flash facility!

To be honest, as long as Nigel is "living his dream", Darrell and I are more than happy, as we know the memories will always be in his head and when he gets back home he'll describe everything in his own inimitable style, in such vivid detail,  we won't need hundreds and hundreds of pictures or videos that always seem to include the back of some strangers head or voice anyway!

That being said, one of his most favourite rides .........

....... is travelling .........

......... by way of a boat ..........

........ through "It's A Small World".

He say's it just too magical for words and a veritable feast for the eyes and child life heart and soul ......

....... he's done it at least five times now and counting ............

........ however, it does come with a slight risk, the song, he says, can stay in your brain for hours after you come out, and then, when you think it's finally gone, it will creep back in again at the least unexpected times and linger!  What is he like? 

Nigel is very taken and not a little emotional over The Compass Club "turn down service" he gets when he returns to his room of an evening .......

He says it's like a wonderful cross between the Tooth Fairy and Father Christmas for holidays!

It seems, that every night, before he gets in from the park and his evening meal, someone steals into his room and mysteriously leaves is a small pile of chocolate coins and a story card on his bedside table ........ 

He says he's eaten quite a few of said coins, but will bring a few back for Darrell and I to try ............

He has also hinted that this would be a very much appreciated gesture to find on his pillow when he gets back home after a particularly arduous school run ......... what is he like? However, Darrell thought it might be something we could certainly adopt for I & B sleepovers, making sure, of course, that the little fella was included in the shenanigans too!  

Goodness only knows what other Disney innovations an impressionable Nigel will come up with upon his return, Heaven help us all!
