Well a funny thing happened today!!!
We decided to have a slow start to the day for Discovery Cove. So we woke naturally at 8am, did the normal routine but no breakfast. We arrived at DC at about 9.20am went to the check in desk (BTW first impressions looked lovely and relaxing). The lady couldn't find our reservation and after checking our paperwork - guess what? we had arrived a day early!!!!
- but better than a day late! You know how it is when you're here, you lose all track of time, day of week etc - whoops! So Discovery Cove tomorrow
So what to do instead? To start off with we decided to do something we never normally do and that was breakfast at Dennys. Over breakfast we discussed our options thinking the parks would be very busy by the time we arrived - and arriving late is against our park ethos - more queues and less Fastpass opportunities, yuk!! In the end the girls choose Blizzard Beach. We decided to give it a go thinking that it would be very busy and difficult to find shaded seating etc. We arrived at about 11.30am but we were amazed to find a great place to sit, acceptable wait times with the exception of Double Dipper and Summit Plummit -so once again we enjoyed a great water park day
. BTW has anyone noticed that you can rent premium space at the waterparks now - you get towel hire, locker, unlimited soft drinks, ice box and water, an attendant for the day, upgraded comfortable beds under covered shade and private sand area for the kids to play in. Would be quite nice if a couple of families got together - minimum seats 6 but you can get larger areas. Cost might be prohibitive????
Tonight we went to House of Blues as we had the Restaurant.com voucher. We enjoyed the food and atmosphere and it made it a reasonable cost with the discount. No room for dessert as we wanted to attend the 9pm showing of Fantasmic. Great show as usual.
Tomorrow - Discovery Cove!!!!! I will take more photos so promise to post more tomorrow.
