I am impressed with the plane food but more impressed with the leg-room. Definitely not Virgin Economy

No time to upload pics tonight, 11:30 now and have to be early.
After leaving Country Inn went to Celebration for lunch @ Market St cafe, excellent food, just as good as last time.
Then upto Royal Pacific resort, thankfully room was ready at a about 1:30pm. wander around and relax before evening meal at Margeritaville, into Islands and Harry Potter land. Not a big fan of HP myself but Matt & Karen are, themeing is excellent. I did enjoy a nice pint of Hogs Head Brew Matt & Karen got a frozen Butterbeer.
Back to RPR for 10pm, met up with Nigel(DISwolves) who arrived today.
Also bumped into John, Purple Van Man delivering a box today, great to meet him at last.

Do you take orders?

After our last flight with VA (it was in PE) where they forgot my DDs gluten free meal both ways, she announced quite emphatically that we are not to board a flight in future without me having packed meals for her.

I know exactly what you mean, my DD is dairy as well as gluten free, you should see some of the muck she has been sent(even the stewardess gipped when she brought her her meal lastyear) well thats when theve remembered

Maybe if you smile nicely at check in you'll get an upgrade. Have your camera ready just in case!

That would be great especially if they just upgrade me and not the rest of the family

 

[Cyrano]

Did John persuade you to get a purple box

I think we may have a bit of explaining to do

ONLY JOKING!!

Been up since 4.00 making use of the free wifi in the lobby.
Only me and the bell boy around....had his life story for a good few minutes.
A quick phone call home via Skype then breakfast before early entry into Harry Potter.

I'm not sure if I should give Wayne's door a knock just to see if they are awake yet

Have a safe trip Mart, will catch up with you tonight, when we get back from Manny's

Nigel and family were ready for bed, it was like 3am for them so no drinking last night for them. will wait till Mart gets here then he can sign for it

How are you finding RPR?

1st impressions, very similar to Poly bit would choose Poly every time.
In room, whats the difference between here and Country inn night before? few extra pillows on the beds, flat screen TV(which won't be used) lots of things sat about with price tags on (water $7 bottle, tiny boxes of cookies $5 not looked in minibar)
Walked thru the pool area, looks nice but couldn't see a spare sunbed anywhere, sooo busy.
Nice to be able to walk to Islands, will see how front of line and early entry goes today, last night Duelling dragons was walk on so no FOL needed.
Only been here half a day, see what today brings.

Did John persuade you to get a purple box

He said I needed 1

 

[igk]

Just spent the last 15 minutes reading all this - missed it up until now!
Sounds like you're all getting into the swing of things nicely - have a great time - looking forward to the updates, and pics!

 

[Chilly]

Wow how great to meet the purple van man.

 

[Scrap_Vamp]

I can't believe I missed the start of your thread, Wayne! Now I'm all caught up but hungry for my lunch

Today is our SDD so we're really looking forward to catching up with everyone again at the meet on the 26th. Will get a taxi so I can have a drink too

 

[wayneg]

Short of time again, just going out to Cheesecake Factory.
A few pics of RPR, lunch at Market St Cafe.

 

[2Tiggies]

That is either one huge sandwich in your last post or you have a very good zoom on your camera, lol. I love the picture with the Purple Van. Not many of us have one of those for our online album.

I always enjoy your live reports. I will be checking again in the morning to see if you have posted more while we were all sleeping.

Is it ridiculously hot? Quite a few threads on the main boards about the heat at the moment. Hard to tell if it is just the usual summer heat discussions or if it is exceptionally hot this year.

Enjoy the rest of your evening.

 

[disney_princess_85]

Great photos Wayne.

 

[Tinks1984]

Another fab update Wayne! That food sure does look good! Hope you've enjoyed your visit to the cheesecake factory!

 

[wayneg]

Couple of pics from last nights meal, Margaritaville, OK but nothing special. We left tomorrow night free for a return visit if we liked it enough but can't see us going back again.
Matt and I had Jambalaya, Karen a chicken pasta dish.
Link to Harry Potter pics we took today(and last night) won't post them all, easier with a link.
Mart(burt) has arrived today, just been down to pool to see him so they are here safe and well.
Cheesecake Factory excellent again tonight.
Never got around to replying about heat, its hot, right from 7:30 when we went out this morning to bed time tonight so hot. Doesn't usually bother us that much with aircon but it is scorching just now.
