5 hours at AoA, wwyd?

We'll be checking in about 6 pm on Sat night, staying in the Nemo section. They'll be six of us for just one night. We move to the THV the next morning. It'll be me, DH, and 4 kids ages 15,14, 13, 11. Three girls and the youngest a boy.

I want to maximize the experience as it may be our only stay there. From food to fun, what would you do with approximately 5 hours in the evening with kids and maybe 2 hours in the morning without kids (I wake up much earlier than everybody else)? Are there walking paths?

If you've eaten there, what did you have and was it good?

The gift shop looks unique, any specific merchandise you bought and loved or wished you'd bought?

I would def have dinner there! I went online to check out the menu, and it looks like the have interesting food. A Tandori station, for one. And that Crab Cake burger is calling my name! We are planning on going over for a bite to eat one day during our upcoming trip.
The pool looks fun to, with underwater music! So I'd plan a relaxing evening of dinner, and pool time, and just wandering around looking at the different areas!

The dis unplugged podcast team reviewed the food court back in June and they loved the food court. You might want to go back and listen to that for food ideas. For walking in the morning, you can take the bridge and do a loop between aoa and pop century. The pools and arcade are supposed to be great so I would spend time there. I think the nemo pool even has characters talking under the water.

Dinner is on our must do list for sure! I love Tandoori. I have glanced briefly at the menu and it looks much better than the standard burgers/chicken nuggets fare, a little more eclectic. The pool effects sound neat too. Isn't is supposed to be snippets from the movie? That would be so cool.

Thanks, I'll go check the podcast. I've never listened to one, is there a trick to finding it?
