Part 12 Day 9 Saturday 07th October
Up with the sun again at 07.30. After another yummy breakfast at Pop we headed out to Epcot.
Chocolate Croissant - $2.79
Cinnamon Roll - $2.59
Sausage & Egg Croissant - $5.79
Side of Breakfast Potatoes - $1.99
Milk - $1.29
Tax - $0.94
Total - $15.39
We were at Epcot for rope drop, another disappointment as all that happens here is the cm’s count from 10 to 1 then remove the rope.
Went straight to Soarin’ for a Fastpass along with 97% of the early risers. Seriously had you not wanted to go to Soarin’ you would do yourself an injury going against the crowd.
Fastpasses obtained for 09.45 we went to Test Track and walked on twice.
Before we used our Fastpasses for Soarin’ we got another for 10.40 which by the time we had ridden the first time was only half an hour away so we had a snack at Sunshine Seasons while waiting.
Blueberry Muffin - $1.79
Strawberry Shortcake - $3.49
Milk X2 - $2.58
Hot Chocolate - $1.89
Tax - $0.64
Total - $10.39
On the way to our second Fastpass ride we got another one. This time with a return of 13.15.
During the couple of hours between Soarin’ rides we toured the World Showcase stopping to watch O’Canada (18 mins I will never get back)
and buying a certificate from the UK with our surname details on $28.76 unframed.
When we got to Mexico I got a Fiesta Margarita. The Mango one I had at Pop was delicious but this one wasn’t. I binned it and Gavin was appalled I could throw away $8.26 worth of alcohol! Part of the reason I didn’t like it is because it melted straight away and as the cup had been overfilled I felt forced into drinking it quickly so it didn’t drip all over me. It was easier to bin than make a mess of my clothes and myself sick.
Had lunch at the Electric Umbrella at 13.00
Chicken Strip & Fries - $6.69
Double Cheeseburger & Fries - $6.89
Coke - $2.09
Water - $2.00
Tax - $1.02
Total - $18.69
After lunch we had our third ride on Soarin’ which, as I am sure you can tell is our favourite attraction.
After riding I bought a Soarin’ pin from a cart at the bottom of the escalators $9.53 and convinced Gavin to get a T-Shirt which was sky blue with the logo on the front $21.25.
Before heading out we had a couple more Photopass pictures done then we did a loop on the monorail before driving home.
After grabbing a refill we were updating notes and browsing the internet at 15.30. Gavin spent most of the afternoon sleeping while I filled up a suitcase with laundry and souvenirs to save time later.
At 17.30 we ventured out to Downtown Disney . We wanted to see Employee of the Month and picked up tickets for the 22.05 showing $9.55 each.
We spent a while browsing the shops. I bought another Mickey T-Shirt in World of Disney along with a couple of other things but I cant decipher the receipt, I would guess one of the items is a photo frame. The total for World of Disney was $64.86. We got six more cd’s from Virgin Megastore they were mostly on sale $88.36 for them all. We popped into Disney Tails and bought a couple of cat toys for Fred and Mary $12.78 and also a few magnets from Magnetron for my Mum and Gavin found one for his Mum ‘They haven’t left the nest until they move their stuff out of the Garage’ We, and Gavin’s Sister store tons of stuff in his parents Garage. They have two! $13.83 for all the magnets.
We were going to eat at the Rainforest Café but they had a two hour waiting list so we went back to Raglan Road and waited around five minutes for a table inside. We both ate exactly the same but skipped dessert.
Guinness - $6.50
Drunk Chicken - $6.95
Granny’s Vegetable Soup - $5.50
Sirloin - $22.95
Bangers & Mash - $16.95
Tax - $3.40
Total - $62.25 plus tip.
We enjoyed our meal as much as last time but we realised we had chosen the same again as there wasn’t really anything else on the menu that we liked. Nothing else really appealed.
We whiled away the final hour before our film sitting across from Saratoga Springs watching the lake and enjoying the view. Once our dinner had settled we got an ice-cream( Gavin misplaced the receipt, I really shouldn’t let him have them). I got Mint Choc Chip which was yummy but Gavin didn’t like his Vanilla so we swooped halfway through. I became unpopular when I dropped the camera while eating my ice-cream but after a quick inspection it was working fine with a minor scratch.
We went into the theatre about 20 mins before the film started and got a drink together before sitting down, didn’t want Gavin going missing again. Employee of the Month was very funny, apparently it has been getting bad reviews so obviously my sense of humour isn’t very sophisticated.
Home at 00.10 and straight to bed.
Mug Refills - 2 each
Weather - Very hot during the day 92 degrees but a lot cooler after dark
