As you know David had gone off to play golf this morning and the girls and I were off to meet some friends for a swim. I also had a look at how many
DDP credits we had left seeing that we were going home in 2 days and we had 2TS, 14CS and 26SCs left

we needed to get eating
The girls and I caught a bus to DTD where we were going to meet DisneylandMama (T) and her children Maddie and Evan. We had a wonderful bus driver who said that as we were the only ones on the bus that she was our own personal chauffer and she would take us exactly where we wanted to go! She chatted the whole trip and even bypassed TL so we got to DTD with tons of time to spare. As she was so kind I gave her a Cadburys chocolate bar which I had with me (In an insulated bag with ice in as I had bought all the kiddies some English sweeties!) and she was very grateful
As we were so early the girls and I went for a wander around DTD before heading back. We found that T was already there and the girls were so excited about meeting Maddie and Evan again. We waited and waited for a SSR bus (the boats werent running yet!) but none came so I had the bright idea that we could walk, well it wasnt very far was it!

Now I know this is Florida in August but it seemed like a good idea at the time, until we went the wrong way

Then poor old Jess got attacked by a falling tree cone which landed on her shoulder and made quite a mark!!!!
After walking for quite a while we worked out that we were lost

So we asked a nice man for directions, well he was from the North of England and T just didnt have a clue what he was saying it was hilarious but luckily I understood and we soon found the pool
When we arrived I spotted someone in a lime green swimsuit it just had to be Lauralee131 (LL) and it was

There were wet hugs all round, Michael her DS was such a sweetie and the kids all soon jumped in, swimming, sliding etc. We commandeered a row of loungers and jumped in too, well we had to cool off after our little walk didnt we!!!!
T was a bit worried about Maddie and Evan not having life vests on so her and LL went off to get some leaving me in charge of 5 kids

This really showed how close we had all become chatting on the DIS boards that they felt comfortable enough leaving their kids with me! OMG I needed eyes in the back of my head though, we stayed in the very shallow end and luckily Jess loves kids and helped a lot. Especially when the boys tried to go deeper!!!! Evan did get worried for a few minutes wanting his Mummy and he gave me such a lovely cuddle he was so sweet! After what seemed ages, I now discover they may have stopped for a sneaky smoke, they returned with vests so we could all relax!
We were also meeting PrincessV (V) who was checking into SSR that morning with her son Leo and Mum. Well we waited and waited and waited some more

Finally she arrived and she got very wet as we all clambered out of the pool to give her a hug too

Her Mum was such a sweetie and very understanding of her meeting up with mad internet friends!
Here are some photos.
Yep thats Maddie nearly under the water
Oh and our
crocs made the most of the sun for a catch up too!
Soon we were all hungry, plus I had some CS credits to use up

The girls and I actually got our own meals today instead of sharing

From what I remember the food was reasonable but poor LL waited forever for her food as she had saved the table for us, sorry LL didnt realise you did that, so we had all finished eaten eating way before she even got hers! We all laughed at V when she got her camera out for the food porn shots, a true DISer hey
The kids being silly!
LL, T, V please feel free to post any other photos you have
Wed had such a lovely time but Id promised the girls a bit of shopping in DTD and we then had to get ready for tonights big Lapulapozza meet so T, the kids and I caught the boat to DTD. Now if you dont know, T is famous on the DIS for her What not to wear photos and OMG did we wish we had had our camera handy on the boat, there was a lady who looked incredibly scary she had big dark outlined lips, big hair and bright orange nails, I kept looking over at T dying to say something and trying not to laugh
Our first stop was Goofys and I let the girls spend 7 SCs each, they thought this was wonderful and spent ages choosing exactly what to buy. I bought 3 pieces of fudge, cookies & cream, pineapple (strange I know but delicious) and vanilla, I didnt finish it all until I was back in the UK! T was busy making pretzel rods or something and Evan had fallen asleep so we said our goodbyes until later! The girls and I did a bit more shopping, again looking for Davids cap but they still didnt have it

It was now about 3.30pm so we did a quick dash back to CSR to get ready for tonight!
