Today was a mixed bag in that it was a fun & relaxing day, but very expensive!
Firstly we found out my driving licence was missing, eventually we found it was still with Avis in MIA. Doh! So after a few phone calls we eventually got them to arrange to over night it to our resort, for $35.
Then when we unpacked this morning we found all of our nice clothes for meals were trashed (wrinkled and dirty not damaged) so they were off to bell services for dry cleaning. Another $60+
And that was all before we left the room. So, an expensive day.
But anyway, back to the day.
We were up and at the TTC before 9am, a minor miracle for us and a quick ferry trip later and there we were.
Loved the new layout in front of MK.
Yay! the obligatory castle shot!
It was obvious that they were getting ready for the Christmas parade taping, in fact we went to MK today as we intend to avoid it like the plague on the 3rd and 4th.
They were doing some taping at the castle itself though, but if you avoided the hub it wasn't really noticeable.
Well, we'd forgot to grab breakfast so we decided to try to get a walk up here:
I know it's not the best food on property, but Stacey does love this fella,
Well, he is so sad, you just want to take care of him...
The food here is buffet style so it's just help yourself.
Stacey grabbed most of the stuff that was veggie.
Where as I avoided the eggs. I did have a thing that they listed as potato casserole that was really nice but the rest was average breakfast fare.
Stacey grabbed a second plate including some of the potato casserole which she thought was weird as it had crumble on top, and a cheese omelette.
Now I said earlier that I only eat egg at one place but I'm now calling myself a liar as Stacey got me a vegetable omelette.
It actually wasn't that bad, though that was mainly because the egg was so thin that the other flavours overpowered it.
Then I had some fruit for desert and I was done.
Once we left Crystal Palace it was off to Adventure land
(at this point I'm just going to list the highlights, you can assume we rode most of the other rides).
We rode the Jungle Cruise of course.
Our skipper was skipper Jeff. With the cruise the skipper makes or breaks the attraction and skipper Jeff was on the money. He did some of the obvious jokes but snuck a few others in there that were new to me and made me laugh.
Look!!! It's the world famous back side of water!
