Today was going to be a really long day.
Wed decided to go to Downtown today. We were going to the Virgin welcome meeting to buy cab transfers and in the evening we were going to Cirque Du Soliel.
We started the morning by going to the Contempo Café, we just brought a couple of meals to share (sausages,bacon,scrambled eggs, biscuit aka scone and some potato wedges) then a drink each to share. We hadnt brought the refillable cups yet as were juice drinkers but knew wed get them at some point for fizzy drinks in the evening.
We caught the first bus of the day (8.30) to get to Downtown Disney.
When we got there we made our way via the shops to Ragland Road where the Virgin meeting was @9.30am. Thankfully it was very short, only about 5-10 mins. I remember the last one we went to was at least an hour long if not more. We then decided to walk to the end of Downtown so we could pick up our tickets for the Cirque Du Soliel @ 9pm. Yes you read that right 9pm! Not sure why we went for the 9pm show instead of the 6pm show, think it possibly could have been to do with wanting to have dinner at Fultons Crabhouse. Again with hindsight perhaps we should of gone elsewhere and then came back later for dinner and the show. I say this now as my feet really killed me today, had to stop a lot. Luckily id brought some peppermint foot spray from The Body Shop back home, it worked brilliantly.
Today was very hot so we made sure we stayed in the shade as much as possible. We always find Downtown to be very hot, could be due to all the concrete.
We had lunch in McDonalds, just burgers but the drinks were fab. I like the drink station and the fact you can help yourself is great.
We mainly spent the time looking around the shops and looking at the sights.
Luke chickened out of going on the balloon ride. I wasnt too sure about it so I didnt try to pressure him into it. Think Matt was disappointed though
Thankfully our dinner ADR was at 5.20pm.
To be continued .
