DAY 4 - Magic Kingdom - Florida Mall - The Wave

Today was and early get up, as we had an ADR for breakfast at Crystal Palace at 8:05. As it was normal park hours, Main Street was almost empty, so I took advantage of a few pics in front of the castle.

We were seated almost straight away, so headed for the buffet. A good selection of hot and cold items, so deciding was difficult. I can’t remember exactly what we had because it was spread over a few visits!

Soon the characters came along, one at a time. Pooh – Piglet – Tigger – Eey Ore.

We left after about 1 hour and headed over to Splash Mountain. This ride was walk on, as was Big Thunder Mountain which we rode straight after.

The skies went very dark at this point, so we managed to get to Haunted Mansion before the heavens opened up. Coming off the ride, it was still torrential rain, so another circuit of HM was in order!.
A tip for any one riding this, is when you go into the enclosed room with the stretching walls, stand underneath the picture of the lady with the umbrella, as this is the doorway that leads you to the carriages. The rain carried on and no sign of blue skies, so we made our way out of the park, through the shops in Main Street. We returned by to OKW for a change into dry clothes, and then we headed off to the Florida Mall.

We visited a few of our favourite shops H&M, Hollister, A&F and Sue bought some Ugg boots from the Walking Shop. I was feeling a little peckish, so we did a tour of the food court to taste the free samples!. We then made out way back to OKW for a shower and change of clothes, and then it was time to set out for our ADR at The Wave, located in the Contemporary. No wait again after checking in. This is a nicely decorated restaurant and no signs of Disney were visible.

The food I felt was just average and the dessert choice was poor (and rather bitter tasting)
We left The Wave at around 9:00 and headed back to OKW, and straight to bed.

Loving the reports particulary the pics of okw and the food porn.

Your DD looks so happy in all the pictures.
 
Great photo's at CP :goodvibes Such a shame the food wasn't up to much at The Wave, the actual restaurant looks fantastic!
 


Lovely photos of your daughter, shame about the food at the Wave.

The decor was well done, it was just that the food was nothing special and I also feel we were rushed, even thought it was not full ;)
 
Thanks for your comments about the Wave - we have an ADR there in December - maybe I should think again :confused3

I have had thoughts similar to you, where someone has not enjoyed it, but had found different when I tried it for myself. I think the Sever can also make a big difference. Tonight we have been to Tony's Town Sq in MK. Food and speed of service was brilliant, but the dampener was when the bill was left at the table before the desserts had been served :confused3
 
Another great day and great pictures! :)

Thanks for the kind comments.
Just looking at your signature and noticed POR

Love the pictures. Shame you did not like the Wave. We dined there last visit and can honestly say that the food was the best we have ever had at Disney and we have been going there for many many years!
