    Ravtinos trip part one

    Well I will make a start:-
    Afternoon flight from Manchester to Orlando with Virgin, bit bumpy in parts but OK, Adam was fine on flight so maybe hes growing out of his sickness as quickly as he grew into it there were lots of people at imigration as the two flights were in close together(Virgin London) we had a very chatty imigration officer who said Adams phots was nothing like and were we sure we had brought the right person, then collected luggage they were telling people to take luggage up escalator and boy some folks were struggling, not me I insisted that ours went on belt to other side[msnwink] Now we got there loads quicker than luggage (the carosel to pick up was now down next to car hire) so I left Bob and Adam and went to car hire, the line was really long but I went into the Dollar express line and only me in it, waited for about 10 mins and off to desk everything straightforward, I asked about bringing car back full and he said no problem, just as he asked me for signatures of drivers Bob appeared so we both signed and off we went, picked up our Toyota 4runner and away we went[msnsmile2]

    I drove our monster truck to Disney's Port Orleans Riverside and checked in we were spending 4 nights here. Now while I checked us in Adam went into shop and bought some Lays as he won't eat on plane and he said thats the first thing he was gonna eat, Quick unpack while Adam ate his Lays and then it was on the boat to Downtown Disney and Adam wanted a pretzel, it was very busy down there we were going in to Ghiradelli's but the wait time was huge[msnsad]

    By the time we went back for boat it was 11oclock so straight to bed[zzz]

    Sat - went to Golden Corral on Vineland for breakfast[msnsmile2] (have to say I like this one)then it was into Publix bought some more Lays and then we went to Downtown Disney and to Ghiradelli's ( no it was a while after not straight after breakfast!) has 2 sundaes between the three os us[sick]

    We then set off to Fantasia mini golf but due to the lightening approaching it was closed[msnsad] so we walked to Broadwalk and strolled around then back via Swan and Dolphin, light rain, back to golf to find it open but a huge wait, so off we went to Subway - another of Adams favs but only here in Florida won't go in them at home!! Then back to hotel

    Sun - Magic hour at Epcot which means Disney guests get in 1 hour earlier so we were off on the 7.20 bus and into Epcot, went straight to fastpassed it then stright on Soarin, came off and went on Testrack came off that then fastpassed it, then it was back to Soarin with our fastpass, came off and ate there, we then fastpassed it for later that afternoon, went back on Testrack, came off and wondered decided we had had enough so back on bus to hotel, we picked car up and went to Fantasia, played our round was sooooooo hot, then we drove to Beach club parked up and went to Beaches and Cream 30 min wait so sat and chilled with pager, we ate here food good as usual and then caught the boat back to Epcot which was lovely and only a few mins away, the idea was to use our fastpass for Soarin and stay for the fireworks, but no one could be bothered so we had a little look around some countries and the Adam said he had had enough and didnt feel well so off we went back for boat and to Beach club picked car up back to hotel got a drink we all laid on bed and when I looked again it was 9.30 and everyone was asleep, and TV was talking to itself so we all got into bed and that was that[zzz][zzz]

    Monday - after a lazy start Adam said he didn't want to do a park so we went to Golden Corral for a late breakfast, then to Premium Outlets stolled round - did not buy a thing (as Bob says - nothing you need) for them that know me you will know why! from here we went to Lake Buena Vista outlets wandered round had icecream, subway for tea and then back to hotel and a walk around the grounds.

    Tuesday we set off for Naples but enough for now, hope I haven't bored you all to death

    Pamela if you walk from the Fantasia car park across to the swan and dolphin you just folllow the walkway round and you will see the bridge to the Broadwalk, we sometimes walk round to the Beach club and then get the boat back across.

    Yes Sandra, I remember last years visit here! I did not put my hands in any bushes to retrieve any balls!! although the funny thing was when we went in Bob put some rubbish in the trash and there was a black snake, now Bob dosent do snakes but the woman said it was harmless LOL

    Yes Tricia Adam did a litle pin trading, got a couple of cheap pins at the Buena Vista Disney outlet, I did notice that in the hotels they were holding pin trading events.
