Theresa (me), age 43 - in charge of the credit cards and plotting quickest routes to the shopping malls. This is my tenth trip.
Maddie (DD), age 19 - jointly in charge of where we eat, shop and play this trip. This is her seventh trip.
Callum (DS) age 18 - in charge of himself. This is his seventh trip.
Sunday 24th August 2008
As yesterday didn’t go quite as planned, we decided to stray from our itinerary today and go shopping instead of a park. We started off with breakfast at the Golden Corral and decided on the new one on the 192. It was very nice; all freshly cooked and delicious. The waitress was very friendly and chatty and told us about Tropical Storm Fay which had just passed through. She said there was 8 solid days of torrential rain which finished yesterday. :scared1:
After breakfast, we drove up to the factory outlets at Lake Buena Vista. Maddie bought Skechers sandals and Converse trainers as well as a Gap hoodie, each for $21.39 with tax. Cal bought some shorts and a baseball. Tony got a tee-shirt and I only bought socks!
We then drove to Walmart and went mad buying lots of lovely food! This included lots of icecreams, cakes, texas toast (which we love), low fat snacks for when we are back on our diets at home, and essentials like juice, milk, coffee, beer and pina colada mix! We bought the new “House” series 4 dvd set and some scrapbooking card and bought Cal a camera as an early Christmas present. We decided to give this to him straight away so he could use it on the holiday.
After Walmart we headed home to our condo for an hour then had to go back to Walmart to take Cal’s camera back as it had already gone wrong. We had only driven a mile or two before the replacement broke too! :confused3 We turned around, went back to Walmart yet again and got our money back as it was agreed there might be a faulty batch.
From there we drove to Downtown Disney and ate at one of our favourite restaurants, the Rainforest Cafe. It was delicious as usual and we were too full for a dessert. The total bill was $120 including tip and tax.

After this we wandered around some of the shops where Maddie bought a little glass Snow White ornament at Arribas Brothers for her collection. We decided on an earlyish night so left World of Disney for another day and went back to the condo.
