Leaving soon, again :-)

Another great day Wayne, love the pics. Wow can't believe the guy bought 200 pins!!

I love the authentic small-town feel of the Market Street Cafe. Last time we were there, the Sheriff was in for his supper and one of the servers was sitting on the edge of his table chatting - it was like a scene from a film. I'd forgotten they do crinkle-cut chips - reminds me of my childhood.

I recommend the philly cheese steak they do there, Beautiful.

Great photos as ever Wayne-wish i was there!! oh well only another 18 months to go...!!!
hope you manage to get home and aren't delayed by the volcanic ash cloud
although being stuck in Orlando isn't a bad thing...

Oh yes, because they aren't letting any planes into UK airspace I heard on the radio! You might not be able to fly home Wayne!!!!

We love Market St Cafe. We went there last year on a Sunday morning to take a look round the Market, and ended up spending a very pleasant hour or so there. They do fantastic dips, and Ellie had some banana pie that could've lasted her all week!! We are def going back there in Aug. I think I will be enjoying some snacks and a cool drink with the girls while DH and DS go on the Segway tour. Bliss!!
BTW what are you going to do with all those pins?!!!

A couple of things there that we have done and love about Florida. We really enjoyed Little Toot and got loads of great footage and pics of the dolphins playing in the wake.
Old Town is a favourite of ours, as is Market Street Cafe - especially for breakfast.
Hope you manage to get back OK Wayne. Enjoy your last couple of days

 

[tinks_1989]

Your trip has gone so fast I hope you have really enjoyed all that food looks so good I want some cake now

bargain on the pins

 

[Mrs Doubtfire]

Great photos again

Haven't been to Cracker Barrell for ages so might keep it in mind for December - along with trails End. I was going to go last time but never got round to it.

Are you coming home this weekend - hope you're not too dirupted with the volcano ash as airports are currently closed in the UK

 

[disneyholic family]

oh my god Wayne, you totally outdid yourself with the food porn this trip....yummmmm!!
you know what really got me? the rolls and cole slaw at cracker barrel....that looks so good...

i can't believe how cheap those pins were!! well done getting a bunch of those...
they'll make spectacular gifts!!!

have a safe trip home!!!!

 

[Cyrano]

Glad you managed to bag some of the pins before they all went. At 49c that is a seriously good price.

Noticed you had Lee Cockerell's book in amongst your purchases. I got this last year as the UK release had been put back.
I thought it was a well written and easily read book

 

[eeyorefanuk]

Loved all your photos today - thank you - cannot belive the price of the pins - amazing but can I ask what are you going to do with them all

Can I ask how much it cost per person for the dolphin trip - that must have been a lovely experience.

I wish you all a safe journey home - hope there are no delays for you, and thank you again for taking the time for daily updates.

Cannot belive it is time for you to come home - feels as if you have just got there

Pins are for trading, we usually buy job lots from here http://www.pinfinder.com/ he often has 40% or 50% off deals. But 49 cents beats him. Went to Prime outlet today, they had no 49 cents pins left but 100's at 99 cents. Great for kids to trade with.

Are you coming home this weekend - hope you're not too dirupted with the volcano ash as airports are currently closed in the UK

We are due to fly to Detroit tomorrow(Friday) afternoon with an evening flight thru to Heathrow. I can see them taking us to Detroit and then telling us we are delayed and stuck there. Will check in morning for latest info. Could be a long boring weekend.

 

[UKDEB]

Safe travels, Wayne. It sounds as though we're in for at least another day of disruption. If you have to be stranded in the US, lets hope it's Orlando.

 

[Pinky166]

Hope you manage to get home asap Wayne. They have currently cancelled all flights until 7pm tonight.

Ah! Trading of course! Our kids decided they wanted to start trading, so got them loads of pins, and then they decided they liked them too much and didn't want to trade!
DD's have been clearing their room over the holiday, and sadly I now have a box of tinkerbell pins that they no longer want Maybe DS will take them to trade in Aug.

Forgot you flew indirect. I don't suppose the ash cloud will affect the interior flights. They have just said on the radio that Heathrow is expecting to allow flights in from 6pm tonight, subject to change, but you might just be delayed a little while. On the plus side, have you ever been to Detroit? Just saw this on a tourism site:

'The metro Detroit is a very diverse region that is rich in history and culture. The metro area embraces all lifestyles and welcomes all visitors to our community'

Maybe a whistle stop tour and trip report??!

Seriously, hope you aren't delayed too long. Thanks for all the piccies and trip report, it has been the first thing I looked at every morning!!

Have a safe journey home

PS sorry Wayne, Radio London have just announced lockdown of UK airspace has been extended to 1am tomorrow morning (Saturday)

oh dear - i heard it's still closed....
Wayne, i hope you don't get stranded in detroit....
the hotel in the airport itself is nice, but don't let them stick you in romulus....
assuming they stick you anywhere at all.....other than the hallway of the airport...

safe travels...

 

[disney_princess_85]

and at all those pins!

Good luck with your flights home.

 

[heatherbelle]

Oh no I hate this thread, with all those pics of food, I want to go to WDW NOW!! That ice cream has my name on it already.

Thank you for posting, and have a safe journey home, hope your not delayed for too much longer. It's sunny but cold here in Yorkshire.

When I'm not on the dining plan, I know who to contact for a list of yummy places to try. Trying to decide whether to book the cruise or not for next year.

by the way, according to the delta website, you can change your flight without penalty fees - due to the volcano...
so maybe you should change your flight and hang out in orlando for a few more days...

Eventually got thru to Delta this morning, 1st available flight they could offer was Tuesday with 2 stops(Atlanta & Paris). I took it, will be a long day but not a lot we can do about it.
Negotiated reasonable rate to stay here at Hampton Inn, could have got a better rate at Comfort Inn next door but hassle moving.
Will have to goto airport to swap cars this afternoon, Booked with Alamo via Expedia for £85, about a third of the price keeping Dollar car.
Sent email to Meet & Greet Heathrow, waiting for a reply.
