Once again the wake-up call came at 5:00am. This was a killer morning. None of us wanted to get out of bed. We did however. We got up..got dressed.. packed up the car and ate another complimentary continental breakfast. After getting gas we were on the road and heading to Orlando.
We stopped at the Official Disney Information center in Ocala. We didnt get anything other than one pressed penny. Then we went to a publix grocery store just down the street. There we stocked up on easily microwavable lunches, breakfast food, snacks, soda and water.
The drive from Ocala to Orlando was uneventful. Our tradition is to spend one night at the Doubletree Castle off International Drive. We entered the parking lot at 12:30..and of course our room was not ready. We did check our luggage though. Then we walked to Café TuTu Tango for lunch. I LOVE this place. We ordered 4 appetizer dishes to share. If you have never been to a Café TuTu Tango I would highly recommend trying one. The stuffed mushrooms were awesome. Ian says Its truly tasty.
After lunch we checked to see if our room was ready and it was. So we got our bags, changed into swim suits and headed out to the pool. We swam until 4:00pm.. went back to our room..showered, dressed and headed for DownTown Disney.
We shopped at the World of Disney store. Kylie and I picked up a few new pins and charms for our bracelets. Emily picked out a key chain for one of her friends and a Mickey shaped pen for another. She also got a few charms for herself and some more pressed pennies. Ian got a Fantasmic CD so he can add that music to the Mouse House Radio playlist.
By now it was time to head over to Rain Forest Café for our 7pm PS. Of course we HAD to stop by Pin Traders were Kylie and I got the DVC Cinderella pin.
RainForest Café was packed like usual, but our wait wasnt bad at all since I had made a PS quite a while ago. Emily ordered the kids mac and cheese. Kylie got a rainforest burger. Ian and I split a pepperoni pizza and side salad. We all ordered soda. The food was very good and our bill was only $46.00 with tip. Not bad at all.
After dinner we walked around a bit longer. Stopped for a sundae at Ghiradelli for us all to split. Then we went back to the Castle Hotel, and after going up to the 9th floor observation deck, we returned to our room..got things together for tomorrow and in a few minutes we are going to bed. We actually get to sleep in tomorrow. The wake-up call isnt until 5:30.LOL
Tomorrow morning we are checking into Beach ClubVillas bright and early. We have a PS for Cinderellas Royal Table at 10am.
I cant wait!
