The weather is still fantastic, so we decide today we’ll do our return trip to The Magic Kingdom and stay later to enjoy the fireworks, as the forecast for next week isn’t looking as good. We have a lazy morning then head for Sweet Tomatoes for a huge lunch. I’ve enthused about Sweet Tomatoes on this forum during our 2012 trip, but if you haven’t heard of it, it is a salad buffet that is so good it even convinced me, a dedicated carnivore, to go back, and back again. It’s scrumptious, especially the soups, some of which contain meat but I especially enjoyed the cauliflower and cheese soup, and the Indian Grain Bread – WOW.
Even Miley-Rose got into the salad:
And so, having enjoyed the rather good brownies and ice cream for dessert (can’t all be healthy eating can it!) we head East along the 192 to continue the trip to Magic Kingdom. Lydia pipes up from somewhere near the back of the bus “there’s supposed to be a rocket launch at 13.45 from Kennedy”, and within 20 seconds of her announcing this we’re thrilled to see it shooting off into the sky, talk about perfect timing. Everyone Oohs and Aahs and I’m told “You just keep an eye on the road” ! We can’t believe we’ve seen another launch, we have been extremely lucky in that department over the years.
We part with another $17 to park, then tram and monorail to the park entrance where we arrive in time to see what turns out to be the first of three parades today. We set up camp:
and although we only watched it a few days ago we really enjoy the parade, and I take LOTS of photos, and I’ll warn you in advance that this report is going to spill into a Part B !
The film of the moment is Frozen, and Georgia and Kayleigh have both watched it several times, but when we were here on Sunday I had no idea who these two were:
However many fruitless searches for the Frozen Princess dresses have enlightened me, so I recognize Elsa and Anna today. The other parade photo I want to share with you is this one:
Which I thought was a great picture of Arial practising her Uri Geller routine.
We stroll round to Main Street USA and re-take the compulsory photo but this time we recruit a passing technophobe to take one of all of us. We really did pick the wrong person to ask, but after some rotating, cropping and zooming we end up with a presentable photo:
I’ve hit the picture limit already, so if you’re still awake please read on below.......
