Doctor Who Experience!!

Doctor Who Experience

By Abigail Cakebread

Hello everybody! So Mom has spread the word about the DW experience we went on while in Wales, where some of Doctor Who is filmed. It was awesome! We started the day with Stonehenge, and Mom and Dad constantly (painfully) reminded us that we were going to see the 'Wales Castle' next. We zoned out in the car on the way to the unknown castle. When we pulled up to a bluish building, I figured we were lost and Mom and Dad were going to argue a bit and then yell at Mom's phone and then finally figure it all out and then be on our merry way. When Dad killed the engine, though, I took a good look around and figured out that in fact, we were at the Doctor Who experience! There was no 'Wales Castle', but the 'rents had booked tickets to this fantasmagical place of fangirling. The first room was a cafe and a waiting room. They had Dalek replicas and a bunch of other things on display first. When it was finally 10:00, we all lined up for the adventure. When the guide finally showed up dressed in his fancy costume, we went on a pretty cool (and fairly cheesy) adventure around the museum. Peter Capaldi (the current Doctor) even did a special video special just for this museum. Honestly, it was a lot better than the other 'adventures' we've gone on before (but it was still a little cheesy). After, we ended up at a gallery full of costumes and props authentic from the T.V. show, and obviously still in use because one of them was “gone on an adventure”. The Face of Boe was there, along with Daleks, Weeping Angels, Sontarans, and so many costumes (and feels). There was a fun little do-dad with the DW choreographer teaching you how to walk like a Cyberman and other aliens. After perusing the gallery, there was a gift shop underneath. I got a t-shirt and a poster, while Colleen got a poster. It was really awesome! I really hope we can go there again if we make it back to Wales.
