Thursday 10th August ~ Day 8

We got up between 7 – 7.30am, had breakfast in the room and left the Pop around 8.30am. Today we were off to Typhoon Lagoon. We were there at 8.45am as it was EMH’s. We were given a wristband, and although they had let everyone into the Water Park, those without a wristband were held back till 9am. I found it really weird being at a water park so early, but we had a great morning. We had a good sunbathe, went on the Lazy River a couple of times and we went on the rafts where I was the only one to get absolutely soaked from the beginning of the ride till the end ~ all I saw was us getting on and getting off, much to the hysterics and amusement of the rest of the family.

We left around 12ish and went back to the Pop for showers and to get changed. We piled into the car and headed up I-Drive to Ponderosa for a late lunch/early tea. Kerry & I had steak pieces, Paul had Chicken and Steak and Becky had Fish & Chips. We all had a lovely meal, and had loads from the buffet, ice cream, different coloured jelly and cakes (well you’ve got to get your monies worth haven't you ?? ~ LOL).

Tonight we were going shopping. We were after some of those dreadful Crocs for Step-MIL, so we went to the Belz Mall first. We were so disappointed to see that one of the malls was being knocked down and that the other had loads of empty stores. I think the only stores we went in were the Character Corner and Claire’s.

Next we went to the Florida Mall. We found the Crocs in Dillard’s and we were amazed at how many other shoe manufacturers like Skechers and others were making the Croc-style of sandal (or whatever they’re supposed to be).

We then went to the Wal-Mart by the Florida Mall for supplies and I decided that I wanted some new straighteners as my hair was going bonkers in the heat, so we called in to the Super Target on the 192. We’ve never been in there, it looks nice and new, though I thought the prices were a little cheaper at Wal-Mart. Anyway, I found some straighteners and Kerry bought herself the boxset of ‘Scrubs’ season 1.

We got back to the Pop around 8pm, the girls stayed in the room to watch ‘Scrubs’ and hubby & I had a few cocktails at the bar.

Mandy :)

p.s. Sorry no piccies today
 
Very nice Mandy :)

I've always enjoyed the way an Englander vacations in Florida...two weeks at a time, a touch of all the parks - not just Disney, I would never even have heard of Belz or the Character warehouse if it hadn't been for my reading UK trippies.

~Keep it going lady, I'm thoroughly enjoying being on your vacation in spirit~

sn...I listened to Reflections of Earth and Tapesty on my iRiver this am coming into work, got a little choked up...I miss my Disney :(

Right Florence, I'm not great with directions but it is between Old Town and the 192 Wal-Mart (on the left hand side heading towards Wal-Mart)

or

If you drive from WDW past the new Wal-Mart on the 535 (LBV), at the end of the road turn left onto the 192 and hubby says it's 1/2 a mile on the left

Sorry if that sounds confusing :rotfl2:
 
cant beleive you brought crocs....even if they were for someone else. you will only encourage them to make more of the bloomin things :rotfl:
 
Another great report :)

Thank goodness its not just me who hate Crocs, although I have to say the Athens ones are ok, great day Mandy, I love Typoon Lagoon :thumbsup2
 
As I sit reading these reports I'm wearing my Crocs & they are lovely - Honest!!!!!!!!!!
 
I'm really enjoying reading your trippie :)
 
I must admit I prefer the super target on the 192 to the Wal-mart on the 192 now, so much easier to get parked.

Nice relaxing day:)
