Day 1 in Orlando ( day 10 post 109)

Johnny, we also had seats downstairs both ways, but following Obi's advice I managed to get seats both ways in the bubble!
A few hrs before online check in go into your account and you should be able to change your seats, as more seats are released before online check-in opens.

Thanks for the tip

Always have at least 1 meal at Sweet Toms. Always take buy one get one free coupons with us that they email me. 3 adults + 3 sodas costs us $27. We try get there on a Monday evening for mushroom soup as they say they make all their soups from scratch.
Evenings costs about $1 more than lunch but includes pudding like cherry cobbler.
Now I am so hungry.

i forgot to mention that yesterday we had lunch at sweet tomatoes, i know a number of people on here like it there, the food was great, the choice on the salad bar was unbelievable, it nice to eat fresh raw veg for a change.
The soups were fantastic, i had 2 bowls of cream of Brocolli with Foccacia bread. very nice. It was $8.39, we were full all day until we ate at chillis later.

Never tried that, I almost always drink diet coke/pepsi but at ST I do like their apple juice.

 

[wicket2005]

I am not into fizzy drinks, this was more like a juice.

glad that you are enjoying yourselves! Do you know how long the $20 offer is on for at Chillis? It sounds like a great deal!

I am a bit late with this this post, Friday was a bit cold and cloudy so decided to Go to Mall of Millenia for more shopping, it is a beautiful Mall and the christmas decorations in the Middle are fantastic. Then we went to Downtown Disney for a walk round, it was very busy down there, lots of people filling their their baskets with Disney stuff for christmas, i noticed that there was a kids hair and make up salon, kids could be made up into princesses at a price, there was no shortage of people, there was even a chid in the window been made up. Prices ranged fron abou $55 to $260 for a full package ( hair, makeup and Clothes I suppose).
We were knackered then so went for lunch at Orlando Ale house. Fiush and chips for me $4.95, soup and salad for wife, $4.95. Pitcher of Miller Genuine draft $5.00.
Day spoiled a bit as we got a phone call from daughter at home, she had her new blackberry phone stolen whilst in Local Shop (Wayne....the Co op at Birkenshaw, Please investigate). so we sorted that out and drowned our sorrows.
A quiet day all in all...we need warmer weather, apparently it is ok for next 6 days.

the chilis deal looks to be around for a while , it is printed up on glossy menus so i imagine it is here for a while, it is geat value.

sounds like a fun day shopping! i really must get myself over to the mall of millenia....if only for some window shopping..

so sorry to hear about the blackberry....how upsetting!.....
is it covered by insurance? but even if it is, it must mean losing all of her contacts....is that backed up anywhere?

 

[wayneg]

Wouldn't have thought you has a lot of crime in Birkenshaw. Always seemed a nice village when I used to deliver there 20+ years ago, I guess places change.
Is the florist still there? near the Fire headquarters, can't remember the name, used to call there and Florentinas in Gomersal.

 

[natalielongstaff]

Sorry your day was spolit by the news from home

 

[wicket2005]

A relaxing day till you got that phone call. Shame about the phone. I hope weather gets warmer for you.

i suspect that the phone fell out of her bag when she took her purse out, someone has picked it up and not handed it in by the look of it, not insured so we will have to cover the loss. Florists is still their, my next door neighbours sister owns it now, it is not a bad village, its just the way things are nowadays.
Dw found a purse yesterday in the food court at Mall of Millenia, never crossed her mind to keep it, why would it, shame everyone is not like that in the world. It was reunited a few minutes later to the owner.
Thats life!

War today, high 70s, no sun though, total cloud cover. Enjoyed watching Man U get beat in Orlando Ale house, I have now adopted it as my second home.

some photos of new ride at Universal

City walk on Misty day

Day 6 has been a quiet one, more shopping at Florida Mall, Clinique make up is apparently good value according to DW. a few beers followed at Our Usual place , chilling in room now watching HBO, think we will pop out to Olive garden later.

I am sure she will get her contacts back off Facebook or something, thanks for the kind comments.

Good to hear your reports, and the pics, hope the sun makes an appearance for you guys

 

[rpbert1]

sorry about DD Blackberry, and your wifes honesty, like us , why would you keep it, would never even come in to our thoughts, and i think most people would be of the same thinking, but there is always that "very small" minority that would just put it in their pocket

 

[disneyholic family]

yes, unfortunately, there are many dishonest people in the world... very disappointing..

that new ride looks way too scary for me..

how was olive garden...i usually enjoy it there....i like the bottomless salad and the 5 cheese pasta...or is it 3 cheese?...can't remember, but it's very tasty...
