Saturday 27th December ‘08

Our original plan for today was to get up mega-early for the 7am EMH at the Magic Kingdom, but before going to bed we changed it to getting there before 8am before the general public were allowed in

So, we were up around 6.45am and getting the bus at 7.20am. We were really surprised how quiet the Magic Kingdom was. We took some photos, and the girls went to see Mickey’s PhilharMagic, so Paul & I went to get fastpasses for Buzz Lightyear for later, and we rode it too

We ran into my favourite character Stitch and after having some pics taken with him, we went to meet the girls outside the Crystal Palace where we were going to have breakfast

We had a lovely breakfast. Paul & I had some omelettes made for us and we all helped ourselves to the buffet (and made several trips back to it too). It was really quiet in there, so the girls had lots of fun meeting the characters and getting autographs too (how old are they ?? :rotfl2: :rotfl2: )

After breakfast, the park was very busy, so we rode Buzz Lightyear and we wandered around the park (we were planning on leaving all the main rides for the following week when the crowds had gone home)

We left the park around 11.30am and went back to the Pop Century where the girls chilled out and Paul & I sunbathed by the pool

After a couple of hours chilling, we jumped into the car and went to the Mall at Millenia. The girls made their first purchases in Hollister and after a quick wander round (it was rather busy in there) we drove over to Festival Bay where more clothes were bought at Hot Topic

Once back at the Pop, we caught the bus over to Epcot, as we wanted to have a stroll around the World Showcase and have a drinkypoo or two

The girls went off to MouseGear and we arranged to meet up with them in Germany. Paul & I had a couple of glasses of Liebfraumilch, then in Italy I had a Rosa Regale and Paul had an Asti. After grabbing some food in the American Adventure and Japan, the girls headed back to the Pop and Paul & I had a couple of drinks in the Rose & Crown http://bestsmileys.com/drinking/10.gif

We got the bus back to the Pop and stopped off for a couple of incredibly strong Mai Tais, and I can honestly say that we had no problems sleeping that night
