Tuesday 14th
We had booked breakfast at Boma via Disney reservations ( but when we got there they had not received the booking!!! So they advised us to book direct with the hotel in future- they let us in anyway!)
WoW! The breakfast was absolutely fabulous!!!!!! The Pineapple tasted as if it had just been cut picked and cut delicious. The teenagers enjoyed curry and the special juice blend. Just walking around the hotel was exciting – we saw a giraffe and a zebras rear end from the viewing balconies. The shop was fun too. And the lobby Christmas tree and decs was fab.
We then went off to Animal Kingdom – had a wonderful day there. IHOP for dinner. Since we had our 2 teenage kids with us it was interesting to hear our boys comments – The conversation went something along the lines of: Me: Wow look at that isn’t it great?
‘Kevin’ huh! Grunt! Hgh! I think I might be too old for this y’no!”
(After an unwelcome hug from his mum and a well placed comment from Dad about never being too old for Disney we saw a dramatic improvement in response and he relaxed into it activities in Wednesday improved the situation……
Wed 15th
Spent the morning in Villa letting the teenagers sleep in and then went off to the darkest depths of Kissimmee to find the shop with Warhammer Lord of the rings models for ‘Kevin’ After long drive and missed turnings we eventually found a shop which looked closed down… awaiting kevisn strop …I investigated and it said use back entrab=nce – mustve been having a refit. Success we could order the desired items and collect them 2 days before we leave for home… saving £40 on Uk prices… Hallelujah! #61514;
Drove to I drive via Kissimmee water front. Arrived at Millenia Mall where we went to Cheesecake factory ---- Speechless – somehow I was expecting a small eatery in the centre of the Mall it was a fully blown enormous restaurant with a fully blown menu!! I shared an enormous salad with my daughter and the men had light ??? sandwiches.. (ha ha they were enormous)
We had godiva choc cheesecake, key lime cheesecake (delish!!) cookie dough cheesecake (not so good)!
Then we headed off to Belz mall 1 and 2 – got ‘loads a’ clothes for my hubby who rarely buys clothes- he rediscovered Van Heusen ! (loud fanfare heard in background)
Tried to come home on I4 but made it on Turkey Lake Rd, stopped at Krispy Kreme for box of 12 donuts. Oooooh yum! Planning for weight watchers on return!!!!
