After a wonderful but busy day yesterday we had a more chilled day planned for today. We woke up at 7:30am but stayed in bed till 9:30 watching tv. When we could hear everyone else moving about we got up and had breakfast in the room, watching a bit of TV.
We were heading to Typhoon Lagoon as I thought it would be a nice and relaxed way to spend a few hours. We were ready and out of the door at 11am arriving at TL shortly after. We managed to find a spot to park right at the front and made our way over to the gates where we were met with a mahoooosive queue. After waiting ages we were able to get inside and find some chairs to leave our towels etc. and then headed for the lazy river.
In keeping with our luck of this trip so far, today was actually pretty chilly so it was warmer in the water than out of it. It was okay if the sun was out and you were in it but when it when behind clouds or you went under trees, it was freezing! We managed to make it round a few times before we were too chilly and had to get out.

We then went to ride the waves in the wave pool. We sat on the ledge at the shallow end for a while, it was really clouding over now and we were starting to get really quite cold! Sy and I went in deeper to try and warm up. We played about in the water that was about knee height for a while before going really deep to ride the big waves. On the way back in a big wave knocked me over and my boob fell out of my swimsuit, I know because Sy yelled at me 'YOUR BOOB! YOUR BOOB!!' So everyone around us turned to look :O luckily I just dropped to the floor so I went under the water and quickly covered my modesty! I bet it happens a lot in TL... I was properly mortified though LOL

Wanting to escape the area and the people who had seen/heard about my 'mishap' we made our way back to the chairs to try and warm up wrapped in our towels. I fancied riding Crush and Gusher but no one really wanted to come on, but I managed to talk my dad into it so off we went! We rode the middle one (the name escapes me!) and it was really fun. Dad was pleased I'd managed to talk him into it hehe
Afterwards we decided to call it a day for the water, the clouds above were getting worse and we were cold
Off we went to the showers. Unfortunately NONE of the ladies showers had warm water running to them. We tried lots of different ones but they were all freezing cold. I tried washing as much as I could but skipped my hair as I couldn't face it in the cold water.
Dressed, we headed out to the car and decided to make a visit to Walmart to pick up a few things to take home (honey mustard, BBQ sauce, ranch dressing, pita chips and a few other things we cant get in the UK). We then headed back to Kidani for proper showers that weren't freezing cold.
After our showers and a few drinks in the room we made our way over to HS to see Fantasmic. We had a bit of time before the show so we decided to pop over and watch the Muppets. We stopped on the way for some pics, getting some of my favourites of the whole trip!

Muppets was awesome as usual though I have noticed something before, the big guy who comes out looking for Bean the rabbit (I don't remember his name), well when he comes out at the end of the show he's there and he's on the screen as well. Anyone else noticed this before?
Not 100% sure when I took the next pic...
We then made our way over to Fantasmic but as we were on our way there was an announcement that it was standing room only oh no! This was the only chance we had to watch the show. We decided to check it out anyway as there might have been the odd disabled space for mum on her scooter (I didn't take mine tonight as we wouldn't be out very long), plus we had fastpasses, though we went through as the same pace as the people without fastpasses. Well when we arrived there was loads of space! We got a spot right in the centre at the back. They were still seating people as well with a fair amount of space still left.
I went with my dad to get some drinks for everyone from the stands at the back of the theatre.
The show was fabulous as always. After we went in search of food. We tried a few places in Lake Buena Vista but they all had long waits, we ended up in Longhorns again. I was starting to feel a bit dodgy so I suggested to get take out but Sy was insistent that we ate in... We had to wait 10 mins for a table and we were sat with people who were sat beside us on the flight over to Miami, how funny!
Our server tonight was a real babe, I not to blush too much when he chatted to me lol He spent ages chatting with us, even telling us his mum works in Hollywood Brown Derby! He also made a fuss of us with our special t-shirts on. Our meals were great though I didn't eat much of mine as I was feeling quite ill by that point.
I won't go on about it but I was ill the rest of the evening Our server even brought us out a special dessert to celebrate but I missed it as I was in the bathroom. When the bill was paid up my mum came to get me and we legged it from the restaurant (as I have a fear of being sick in front of people), I didn't need to worry though as by now the restaurant was almost completely empty! Whoops.
When we got back I went straight to bed (sorry to end the day on such a downer, I was better again the next day!)
