I'd also heard from a friend that their young teenage daughters got a lot out of it - and this lived up to expectations, too. Naturally we saw lots of rockets, space stuff, suits etc. We ...

Magic Day! Finally in the traditional Disney Park - the girls couldn't wait to do Small World, Peter Pan and Tea Cups. Due to light rain and thin crowds we nailed em pretty quick. Yvonne thought Pan wasn't as good as the French one we did, Sarah was disappointed with small world and Tinkerbells favourite fan, Danielle, didn't spot Tinkerbell in the Peter Pan Ride.
