Day 5
Woke up at 6, kids still asleep so we sat by the pool having a lovely coffee and some toast. My job was to clean the little boogers as they became known from the pool. Kids woke up about 7:30 and had some food and then off we went to Epcot, we justlove this park, spent most of the morning in the innovations area, the kids were having
a great time, we did get on fast track, which was really great, was just thinking about some lunch when the heavens opened up
it rained for about 2 hours and was very heavy, so we took cover in the shops like most people did. When it stopped a lot of people had gone home and the park seemed very empty, we went on a few more rides and then found mission space had no queue at all and so went on it 4 times on the trot, after that I thought enough was enough so
we moved on to try all those flavoured cokes in the igloo thing, yukky some were really horrible, only a few were nice, came out and the rain had started again, was more like the drizzle we get back home, carried on going on the rides and having a great time,
we decided to leave showcase for another day as we were quite wet by now and starting to get cold. We left early evening and was going to stop for food on the way home but the kids were cold and so we went back to the villa to dry off and a change of clothes. While the girls did the food me and the kids went over the park at the entrance to Crescent lakes way and played around for an hour
We had a lovely chicken salad and then off for a long walk around the area, back to sit by the pool while the kids had a night swim then we went to bed as we were hitting Sea world tomorrow
Day 6
Up early and off we went, when we got to the entrance we noticed Poinciana was sealed off by the police, they let us through, Fox news was there as well, so not sure what was going on, later found out that a head on crash and happened. Got to Seaworld and straight on Atlantis and then Kraken, woohoo loved it. We walked around the whole park and the kids fed the dolphins, we watched all the shows and
was having a lovely day, about 4pm the storm hit and boy just like yesterday it was very heavy and seemed to go on and on, as we had been there early we decided to Call it a night and went back to the Villa, we turned into Poinciana and for some reason the traffic was bumper to bumper all the way to crescent lakes,
While the kids had hot baths I popped out to publix for some more hot chicken and salad for the villa, picked up some beef jerky cos I just love it, also picked up some #8216;Not Cuban#8217; cigars. Got back to the villa and had a lovely warm shower why dinner was being done. While we were eating the thunder and lighting came back, but we were safe under the huge lania, we decided to go to universal tomorrow
Day 7
Up earlier than yesterday, had a quick breccie and headed off to universal, gee what a very hot day, by the time we got from the car park to the park entrance we were soaked through, we went straight on terminator twice, what a great ride, queued for
Men in black and got a pass for it as well, the park seemed to be very dirty and we noticed people smoking all over the place, not as clean as the Disney parks, but we Spent a good day there. By late afternoon we were all parked out, it was the heat and so we decided to leave and come back another day. On the way back we popped into
Seaworld for a few hours so the kids could feed the dolphins again, they loved it and we got some great photos, then we headed back to the villa for a freshen up.
The traffic was very heavy al the way home, we got back to the villa and the first smoke alarm had been fixed and we found a second one had a low battery so left a message for the Mc, oh well batteries only last a certain time. We were really worn out today think the heat was starting to take its toll, we all had a swim to cool down and some food, me and the kids had a game of football with some of the kids from a few doors away, poor old dad only lasted 10 minutes or so. We decided that the kids might have a lie in tomorrow as sam wa
