Day Fourteen - Blizzard Beach

[cazzie]

Today is our last day and we are off to Blizzard Beach.

We walk to the Polynesian and get to bus to BB. We didn’t realise how easy it would be to get to the resorts to go to the water parks otherwise we would have done them last time.

I buy a refillable mug on the way in and DH comments that only I would buy one on our last day. After getting lockers we change and decide to grab a sun bed, I have a bright orange towel which covers them so that we can find them later.

We have a walk around and DH goes on one of the rides but I can’t remember which one. He wants us to go on Toboggan Racers so I reluctantly say alright. Now saying and doing; well that’s two different things so when we get to the top and I look down I don’t know about cold feet mine are frozen. Everybody gets on there mats including me and the cm starts us off except one strange thing happens they are all gone and I am still there muttering I can’t do it, the cm laughs and tells me there’s only one way off this mountain and with everybody egging me on I go for it and actually it was quite fun once I got into. Relieved to be down but pleased I had done it we carry on having a look around and then back to the loungers while DH goes for a swim

I have a lie in the sun. Its then off to Cross Country Creek and DH is not in my good books as we go under one of the cascading water rocks and I am wondering why I am getting soaked and not moving only to find he is stopping me.

It’s now time for lunch so we go to Lottawatta Lodge and have something to eat. Lunch over I want to ride on the Team Slides so after walking around trying to find the start (we found the finish) DH asks a cm who tells him it’s up next to Summit Plummit so DH decides we could take the chair lift and I agree (obviously conquering Toboggan Racers has addled my brain). We queue and when it’s our turn the cm asks if we don’t mind letting a single rider on and we say fine. So off we go, I can’t think about this without my toes curling, I hate heights and so now I am on this chairlift going 0.01 mile an hour and I want to scream don’t anyone move in case it starts swaying but of course the lady with us would think I was nuts.

At the top we find the Team Rides (making sure I don’t take a wrong turn and end up on Summit Plummit) and its great fun so we decide to ride it again only this time I use the steps. DH goes back to Cross Country Creek and I go and take some photos. After which it’s back to the hotel.

The evening is taken up with packing, having something to eat and then playing Pirates Mini Golf in which I get a hole in one twice and no matter how much I protest DH will not believe me when I tell him that they were not flukes.

Thats it for now thank you eveyone who has read them and thank you for all your comments. I am hoping that next year I will be doing another one.

Thanks for your lovely comments Reid, I have just been sorting out my photos and I have taken over 1700 so now I have to find the best ones to put onto DVD.

Your photos are great Cazzie, but I can't believe how many you took. DH and I thought we were bad when we took ours to be printed and realised we had 170+ but 1700 OH MY GOD!!!

Really enjoyed your reports - glad you had a good time.

Thanks Joh

I never realise when I am taking them I just keep clicking. I take 3 cards with me and then just keep putting them onto disc. The problem is now I have to go through them and sort out the best to put onto DVD.

Lovely report Cazzie. I take a lot of photos too but I think you must hold the record. Lovely photos too, bought Blizzard Beach right back, right back to my DS15 holding me under those freezing cold showers on the creek.
