(Warning : this will be a very short, boring, almost picture-less update)
Our late night at MK had been great, but it was hard getting up the next morning. We didn't have much planned for that day though : a late breakfast at Kona, shopping at the Outlets, and either Fantasmic or evening EMH at AK.
I had agonized for weeks (okay,months) over what to do that night. It would be our last opportunity to see Fantasmic for a while, but AK had evening EMH and we'd never seen the park in the dark. What should we do ??? Decisions, decisions!!!!
Either way, the first thing to do that day was get out of bed and that was easier said than done. I wanted to finally try the Tonga Toast at Kona and so I literally rolled out of bed, onto the floor, and crawled into the shower.
We made it to Kona a bit late for our ADR and ordered our breakfast. Tonga Toast for me, and macadamia/pineapple pancakes for Grumpy, with a side of fruit to share to ease the guilt. I also tried their special fruit juice.
It was heavenly. It was like pouring sugar directly from a bowl into my mouth for half an hour, and topping it with honey and maple syrup.
After that we took a cab and went over to the Premium Outlets. Usually we're done shopping in 2 hours, tops. But since our next trip they had moved some of the stores, and we couldn't find what we were looking for. We were there over 4 hours. It's not an indoor mall and it was HOT. I was feeling sick, but didn't want to tell Grumpy who was busy spending her life savings on T-Shirts.
Gap, Skechers, Guess, Coach, Character Premiere,Claire's, Dooney and Bourke, Nike, Timberland, Reebok, Bebe, KB Toys...
... we had to stop shopping when we ran out of hands
Back on a cab we go and off to our room. My head hurts. I feel like puking.
Grumpy almost gives me a heart attack when she say she doesn't want to go to the pool
That's like Mickey saying he doesn't want to go to Magic Kingdom.
"I feel so yucky."
"Me too!!"
We crash on our beds. I shouldn't have worried about whether we should go to Fantasmic or AK. We didn't do either. Around 4pm I woke up and called Dining to cancel our Boma reservation for 5pm and got one for 9.40pm instead - just in case we did feel up to it after all.
We fell asleep again and didn't wake up 'til 8pm !!!! Going to Boma sounded good, I was craving salad and Boma has a ton of great ones. So we took a cab to AKL and since we were early, spent some time in the gift shop. I found an AKL shirt in my size - YAY - and a bunch of silly things I've yet to use. The resort was beautiful as always, although it was already too dark to see any animals.
When we got to Boma I was shocked to realize I couldn't even LOOK at the dessert pod. Usually I start drooling over the Zebra domes on the elevator. This time,just thinking about them - or any other dessert - made me physically sick. The mere idea of sugar turned my stomach. For someone who lives on sugar every day that was one weird feeling.
Grumpy filled three plates with only meats. I dined on salads, rice, mac'n'cheese and chicken nuggets. None of us went even close to the desserts. We got watermelon and pineapple, and could only manage the watermelon. Even pineapple felt sickly sweet that night.
We went back to the Poly and swam in the quiet pool for a long time before returning to our beds. I was disappointed that we had basically lost a day of our vacation and to this day still blame it on our Kona breakfast. Never again. It was our fault for getting only sugary stuff and then heading to an outdoor mall at the hottest time of the day. But when you only have five days of vacation to begin with, losing one is a big deal.
We only had one full day left and I definitely wanted to make up for today!
I really want to know about the next day, you just put things in a funny perspective
