Going With The Flow - Day 14 - 3rd August 2009 - The DIS Discussion Forums

wicket2005 · 08-03-2009, 07:07 AM

Morning/Afternoon

Ian got up just after 6 am, I couldn't open my eyes so pretended to be still asleep till I could open them. Just had a bath now updating this before I get dressed and we all head over to Downtown Orlando for check in. I am surprisingly chilled at the moment probably because my packing is done but I will have to start moving soon.

I think the plan is to check in, then go to the Earl of Sandwich for breakfast. I dont know which park we are going in yet. We are due to fly at 6.15 pm tonight (11.15 pm back at home) but I have not checked to see if the plane is on time yet.

Anyway better go and get dressed now.

Thanks for reading.

We checked in at Downtown Disney quite quickly and then went off to Earl of Sandwich for some breakfast which was yummy. We had a little browse round Downtown Disney. Me and Craig fancied going up in the hot air balloon that is there but the other 2 didn't so perhaps another time.

As it was now after 9 we just headed back to Universal/Islands as it would have been pointless trying to do stuff in the other parks. We went in Islands first doing The Hulk. I felt a bit battered on this one, followed by Dr Doom. A woman was screaming on the opposite tower and had her eyes tightly closed which made all of us laugh, I know how she feels. We then just did Duelling Dragons which I love.

We walked across to Universal for a quick go on Twister and The Mummy, then it was time to make tracks which is when Gary usually tells us there is something he has to do. So we went off into the Universal Store and a Citywalk store before we could leave. We decided to leave roughly an hour before the car was due back which Gary thought was a bit early but turned out we dropped it off with 5 minutes to spare. I know they are not strict on the time but it just shows you how much time was allowed to exit Universal, walk to the hotel then drive to the airport.

At the airport we grabbed some lunch, didn't really enjoy it but it was filling. We then had a wander round the shops before crossing to the gates. Now just sitting waiting for boarding, it has flown by the time in the airport.k

The plane home is Virginia Plain which I think we have been on before. I am just going to sleep as much as I can so I can reduce any jet lag affects.

(See you tomorrow Mam and Dad x)
