Heading out of Cosmic Rays’ I had butterflies in my stomach, despite a very satisfying burger. About 20 minutes before Wishes, I was prepared – the plan all in place. I was going to bite the bullet, head round to the wishing well and wait for the fireworks. Then ‘star light, star bright…’ I get down on one knee <cue loud sound of needle scraping across a record! then silence>. The entrance to the path was roped off, there was a very friendly looking cast member standing in my way. I hadn’t anticipated this, nowhere in my research had anyone said forget the wishing well during Wishes, it is roped off!! So we paused on the bridge, “this’ll be a good place” I said, “it won’t be busy”. My carefully orchestrated plan had come to a stunning halt. I thought about trying to sneak through the rope, but it didn’t seem likely – or maybe get the cast member on side, but that might be too obvious. Ok, I thought – it is only Tuesday, loads of time left to come up with another plan. But I was psyched up and it had all gone perfectly…
