Sunday 16th October
Today was Animal Kingdom day, must admit that the last time we went it was our least favourite park, but thought we would give it another go.
We had breakfast in the villa and were all set to go by 8.30am. First thing we did when we arrived was to get fast passes for the safari ride. Only an hours wait so we went off to see the animals, had a nice walk through and the gorillas were great fun to watch. Another very hot day but we managed to do most things, tough to be a bug, rapids(and we didn't even get wet), tarzan, dinosaur, lion king etc. We sat and watched the parade and all said that we had a great day, better than last time. Headed back to the villa for a lovely dip in the pool before going to Unos for dinner, which was very nice.
Monday, today we were having a day off from the parks, but we were going shopping, don't know which is more tiring parks or shopping. Went out somewhere for breakfast, can't remember where. It was then off to lake buena vista, made a few purchases there and when we had all done what we needed to do we went back to the villa, stopping at publix for a few supplies. Spent some time by the pool before going to premium outlets. Rachel, Hannah and Sarah were now in their element, luckily Rachel had got herself a little job during the summer holidays so she had been saving for this moment, lost count of the things she managed to buy. Jessica was not that impressed, but then she is only 10 and not into clothes like my other 2 (thank god). Had to drag them away as we all needed feeding (again)

Another place I had read about on here was steak n shake so we opted to try that, we all enjoyed our meal but must say the milkshakes were fab, I had a caramel apple one it was huge, Peter didn't have one, just as well as he finished off all the ones we couldn't.
Tuesday, MK today. Now I was looking forward to this as I so wanted to see Wishes, didn't see it last time. Before we came I had planned everything around this, today was the day that MNSSHP was not on, it wasn't EMH and it wasn't the weekend. I also checked disneys website for times and it said open 9am - 8pm, wishes on at 8pm.
When we were inside I notice that it was closing at 6pm, this can't be right, but it was, no wishes[msncry], I was gutted. The only thing we could do was to come back the following Wednesday, the day before we left, just for wishes. Had a great day but by 4pm we were all flagging, mixture of the heat, loads of walking and all the early mornings (especially me). Never got to Future land so decided that we would do that when we came back for wishes. Little did we know that we wouldn't get back on that Wednesday[msncry].
Again went back to the villa for a well earned swim and chilli's for dinner, a little disappointed with this meal[msnsad].
