Another long day. Went to premium outlets, my absolute least favourite place in Orlando but we had to buy son shoes so a quick stop at Vans, Converse and Disney. I couldn't get away quick enough, it's so hot there. Nice swim back at the pool then off to play mini golf which is included in 14 day ticket. We chose the fairways course which is like a mini pitch and putt. I actually got a hole in one and started jumping up and gown then realised the party behind could see me, but to be fair they did all start clapping which was nice. Anyway it was a nice 90 minutes.
Then did something bad and I know we are not meant to but parked at Caribbean Beach and got on the bus to MK. It was honestly nothing to do with saving $17 but it was a nightmare getting to and from transportation centre 2 days ago. I figured that the amount of money I have given Disney on my 11 visits that I could be allowed one illegal parking!! It worked out really well but I would only ever do it for MK and probably won't again on this trip as I felt too guilty.
MK was packed when we arrived at 6pm. We wandered around for an hour and had FP for the cars, space mountain (FP queue was nearly all the way back to the people mover for the second time, can only assume they are giving too many out) then seven dwarfs which has a great FP system, on straight away for second time. Its even better at night. A very smooth ride. By this time it was 9 and could pretty much go on what we liked. Were on splash mountain when the fireworks were on which was great, ( we have a MK and EPCOT fireworks view from our room so didn't feel the need to find a spot to watch) then finished the night with thunder mountain. The park really does look fantastic at night. I would have stayed till the bitter end but husband and son thought it would be a nightmare getting the bus so we left at 10.40.
So yet another great day. People always ask me why we come here every year and I always say that it really can't be beaten for a family holiday as so much to do and impossible to get bored.
Tomorrow we are going to the Cheesecake Factory for lunch and then Blizzard Beach in the evening. Sure there will be a few other things also. I will definitely try and take some pictures of the resort on the I pad tomorrow so I can upload them.
