Florida Sun +1 Day 7

Me: Sue 43 Born Worrier and Trip Leader.
DD: Vicki 15 2nd In Command, But the Real Leader according to her.
Well we felt a layin was in order today as we had been up early for a few days before.
So with no Mickey alarm set, we managed to get an extra couple of hours sleep.
Today we had decided would be shopping day, now normally we always go to the Premium Outlets but thought we would have a change and go to The Florida Mall, I also promised a mate in work that I would pick him up some clothes in Abercrombie, so he offered to pay for our taxi for us, so after a little breakfast and a trip to the cash machine, off we went in our cab.
Now for those of you who have been to The Florida Mall, you know how huge this place is, and of course we were dropped off at the other end of the mall to Abercrombie, so we took a slow stroll through, stopping at a few shops and picking up some bagels and a coffee on the way. We arrived at Abercrombie with pictures in hand from their catalouge of what I was to get for Matt, 20 mins later all done and Im leaving carrying what I think is the most trendy shopping bag going and making a mental note to myself to ask Matt if I can keep it. We are now on a mission to find Vicki some "Vans", and after what seemed like going in 30 shops, we got nothing, well not quite true, we managed to stop in the game shop and pick up 3 Nintendogs games for Vickis dual screen, and for those of you who have purchased these games, will understand why for the rest of the holiday I felt I was sharing it with a Lab called Spike, and poodle called Angel and a Terrier called Buffy.
Our cab was due to pick us up at 3 and dissapointed that we had not got the much sort after "Vans" we decide to go over to the Premium Outlets, our lovely driver says he will be back for us at 5.30, so we are now on the hunt once again, after trying on what seemed to be 20 pairs of "Vans" Vicki decides she no longer like them and would prefer a pair of Etnees?? So with those purchased we head out to meet our cab, only to find the most horrific storm taking place. As most of the outlets are in the open air, by the time we run to meet our cab, we are drenced through, for one brief minute, I thought he wasnt going to let us in, but as we still owed him the complete fare, I think he thought better of it and kindly laid a plastic sheet on the back seat of his car for us to drip onto lol.
Back in the room I inspected my purchases to make sure none had got damaged in the rain, and this was what was left of my poor Ambercrobie bag that I so wanted to keep.
After a shower,change and bite to eat, oh yes and after waiting for Vicki to feed, walk and play with our new pups, we were ready to go to MK for wishes. It was Extra magc hours there this evening and this was the first time that I had seen the MK so packed. We picked up our wristbands and found a great spot on the bridgeway in front of the castle. Wow Wow Wow is all I can say, it was amazing and we made a note to come back and see this again before we went home.
We thought we would then have a quick hour seeing what attractions we could get on, so we started to make our way over to the Huanted Mansion, can you believe even with the crowds we managed to bump into Karen, Jon and the girls and made final arrangements for the following day where we were meeting up at MGM.
After a few final rides we got the bus back to the pop and went straight to bed.
Fell asleep dreaming of carrying around 3 puppies in an Ambercrombie Bag.zzzzz

It sounds like you had a great day shopping, although I'm not sure what 'Vans' or 'Etnees' are, are they shoes ? as the only shoes my two talk about are 'converse'. Anyway I love your photos of the fireworks, and I'm off to read the rest of your reports. 
Off to read some more. BTW, do you advise against MK EMH then?
