Had a lie in today - got up at 9.30am (that was proberbly the longest i could stand to lie in bed knowing whats outside my door ;)
Had breakfast at Pop - 1/2 cinamon roll & toast.
Today was planned as a pool day.
The sky started to turn very black, then it rained but we stayed in the pool - we're already wet right??
But then the thunder started so we had to get out, it was lunch time by then so we dryed off & headed to the food court.
I decided to have the mediteranian chicken flatbread...it was the grossest thing i've ever had :scared: so mum had it! & i ended up with pizza :)
We then went back in the pool
We had a dinner ADR at Tepan Edo in Japan at Epcot
It was a very nice setting & quite clever it felt like 4 tables in each little room but they were actually all conected but it gave the feeling of intamacy.
We shared our table with a very nice American family who also happened to be staying at Pop - small world eh (its a small world after all :lmao: )
We had a selection of starters that were all gorgeous :)
The chef came out & did some amazing tricks - juggling knives & food, he was a lovely man too :)
We all had the chicken & steak & this is served with rice, noodles, mushroom & onions with japanese flavours added, all the food looked lovely & fresh & by goodness it tasted it too!
Leanne loved this & it was great to see her enjoying healthy food for a change - she even became an expert with the chop sticks :)
This was by far the best meal we had our entire trip :)
You can see the 'hot' plate they cook on right at your table

After the meal we had decided to visit the Boardwalk area & head up to Fantasia golf.
I've never been to the Boardwalk - what a lovely area, we went in the ice cream shop & Gary & Leanne had some concoction, we then had a look at the Boardwalk hotel lobby & pool, very nice!

We walked up to the Swan hotel which we also had a quick look inside, & we walked & walked!! we ended up asking where the golf was - turned out it was over a road & nearer the dolphin but by now we were all so tired from the walking we decided to catch a boat back to Epcot where we watched illuminations :)
& then headed back to bed!
Tomorrow....remember bad things happen in three's???....
Coming up......Typhoon Lagoon, Crusher Gusher...mild concusion, 1st visit to a first aid station & a rescue!!!!!
