today was the day we were meeting Gib our DVC guide as he was showing us the new Animal Kingdom Villas and because of the good rate of exchange we were thinking about a small add on.
headed down after breakfast. Villas were lovely, in the 2 bedroom you get an extra bathroom than the ones just now. so the 2 bedroom would have 3 bathroom which would make a big difference if you were sharing a 2 bedroom lockoff with your family. decor typical african theme. however as much as they were really nice we decided to stick with SSR
finshed up with Gibb at 12 and headed of to Universal and IOA. its hot today, you don't feel it as bad when sitting by the pool but in the parks you feel it. big sign which read UK visitors welcome and pointed to a queue to the left so stood like lemons (not the only ones) for about 30 mins to get a ticked (women couldn't speak much english and she couldn't understand the irish family in front. quite funny when he turned round and said slowly please remember when it is your turn to speak clearly and very slowly
headed in to the park and for the first ride of the day which was The Hulk (just for DS2 and DH ) they loved it. they didn't seem to be away long either, turned out they queued onthe single rider queue but got together. went from their up to spiderman as this is where the boys like to buy their comics. Mum and Dad struggled today so felt it took us forever to get from one bit to another. we had a ADR at Mythos for 4.30 so still had a bit of time and DS2 persuaded me to do dualling dragons I have never felt the need to get of a ride so much in my like. I never opened my eyes the whole time. I quite like rollercoaster that start fast but this one climbed slowly to a great height, not good with heights never ever again, DS then preceeds to tell me it was worse than the hulk .
still a bit early but we decided to amble round to the restaurant anyway. it was so quiet they let us in early. this restaurtant has be have been one of our favourites, first time here and the food was lovley . this was the chineese salad, work of art really
again we shared starters, mum had the salad (now becoming a family joke) men had fillet meiogn (can't spell it ) craig had pasta, me the chineese salad. mum and I had at the wee mini desserts, men had coffee total came to $213
went back via the shops where Craig bought himself one of the carmel apples and bought us all a cookie, we then headed back out and back home,
got back to find housekeeping had done the bathroom and master bedroom (you get full housekkeeping i.e. clean laundry, and fresh supplies on day 4) and not the other beds, so stripped off the sheets and phoned mousekeeping and they brought over clean bedding
