Great fun!<\/p>\n<p>We then did the Armageddon special effects show &#8211; not that interesting &#8211; then off for very early lunch. Walked out of the diner and straight into the Moteurs: Action Stunt Show Spectacular which was marvy. Loads of car and motorbike stunts very well done. Then off to try the East Australian Current again because it was so much fun the first time! We also just walked around and got loads of photos as well as saw the &#8216;Stars in Cars&#8217; parade. Just a general good time.<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;d pretty much done the park by about 3ish so we headed over the Disney Park. Joe had several photos he wanted to get. We headed to the ice cream parlour on Main Street and as we came out with our cones the Minnie&#8217;s Train with friends with just going by. So we stopped and watched. We just kept getting the parades and shows today! We wandered around the castle and saw the sleeping dragon and caught Mickey&#8217;s big party dance. Rode a few more rides and clambered around Adventure Island getting lost in the caves. And, last thing, rode Space Mountain just to make sure they hadn&#8217;t changed anything since yesterday.<\/p>\n<p>Then off to Billy Bob&#8217;s for a drink and to the Rainforest Cafe for dinner.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Slept in and once up went to the spend the morning in the Disney Studio Park.
