Part 15 Day 12 Tuesday 10th October
Up at 07.30 thanks to Mickey and Stitch we had breakfast at Pop before heading out to Islands of Adventure.
Bread - $0.69
Cereal with Milk - $2.99
Cinnamon Roll - $2.59
Muffin - $2.29
Milk - $1.99
Tax - $0.69
Total - $11.24
We arrived at the turnstiles for Islands of Adventure at 08.50 and they were already letting people in but as only three were open it took ages for the cm’s to check everyone’s tickets and ask for signatures or finger prints.
Spiderman was first again, this has definitely changed since last week. There is a very obvious Halloween addition but we both thought there were a few other changes aswell.
Dudley Do-Rights Ripsaw Falls twice as it was a walk on then onto Popeye and Bluto’s Bilge Rat Barges three times because they are fun! Jurassic Park River Adventure was our last ride and the picture was good so we bought it $23.38 including frame.
Before we left we had lunch at Circus McGurkus
Spaghetti & Meatballs - $7.69
Pepperoni Pizza - $6.79
Chocolate Cake - $2.79
Jelly - $1.99
Milk - $1.99
Orange Juice - $1.89
Tax - $1.51
Total - $24.65
You know your eating in a restaurant aimed at kids when your eating spaghetti from a plastic plate with a yellow fork and a red knife!
Walked back to the car slowly to try and dry off but no such luck so back to Pop for a change of clothes before heading out to swoop our Free time check in voucher for a Free time check in voucher at the Travel City Direct office. It really was just a scam to get people to the welcome meeting. All the lady did was attach another scrap of paper to my voucher with her initials on it. Before we left we popped into the Old Navy store to see if there were any bargains for Gavin, he wouldn’t try on any jeans so we stuck to t-shirts and he ended up with four all on offer at $21.26 for the lot which with our exchange rate was £2.90 a t-shirt which even a self confessed shopping hater like me can see it’s worth a quick browse.
Back to Pop at 13.30 we rested doing the usual stuff, internet, PSP. TV and writing up some trip notes.
Out again at 16.00, we were going to see Cirque Du Soleil at 18.00 but had some souvenir shopping to do first.
At World of Disney we spent ages looking for a Cars display and eventually found one of Gavin’s missing Cars but having spent so long on this we only just had time to squeeze in an ice-cream on the way to Cirque Du Soleil.
Cookies & Cream $4.98
Mint Choc Chip - $4.98
Fanta - $2.29 reg
Fanta - $2.99 lrg
Tax - $0.99
Total - $16.23
I was still feeling a little apprehensive about the show as Gavin hadn’t really come round. When we were seated I mentioned I had a mild headache and Gavin said he was happy to leave if I didn’t feel up to it! We stayed, we saw and we loved. The show is amazing and if you haven’t seen it, please do I guarantee you will not leave disappointed .
Show over we headed to Planet Hollywood for tea. There was a 40 min wait but this time we were allowed to wait inside at the bar.
Chicken Crunch - $8.45
Bruschetta - $8.45
BBQ Chicken Burger - $11.95
Chicken Fajita - $16.95
Miller Lite - $4.00
Coke - $2.75
Tax - $3.43
Total - $55.98 plus tip
After tea we browsed some more both at World of Disney and at Everything Pop. I bought a couple of pins and a Mickey Plush $24.39 and Gavin found two more cars at Pop that hadn’t been there yesterday $21.32. He is now only eight cars down so is on a mission to find some more before we head home to avoid the price hikes on eBay. All of these cars will remain boxed and in pristine condition until he passes them on to a younger family member or we cant afford to pay the gas bill.
Back at the room I pack some more stuff, I have been doing this steadily for the last few days so there isn’t much room left in the cases but I do have loads of unpacked stuff. Bed around 11.30.
Mug Refills - 1 each
Weather - No breeze, no cloud, a sunny 84 degrees
