Terry and Sara go home today and we are all very sad to see them go, the kids are especially sad as Terry and Sara really make a fuss of them. The week has just flown by. They would like to go to IHOP (the International House of Pancakes) for breakfast. We go to the one close to Downtown Disney and we all enjoy a great breakfast. It is decided that we shall come here for our last day too.

Next stop is the Premium Outlet so Sara can finally buy the shoes that she tried on (at Day 6). We go back to Saratoga to pick up the cases and to put the new shoes away. Mark, myself and Kirsty drop Terry and Sara off at the airport. Lisa and her family go to the pool at Saratoga.

We try to find Lake Buena Factory Outlet and despite getting instructions from the Saratoga front desk (yeah its way past IHOP) we cannot find it (and we never do!). We had promised Kirsty a pair of converses for her birthday and it is now a few days past. We give up (poor Kirsty) and go to the Winn Dixie which we have discovered instead. I am not feeling at all well with a sore throat (all that singing last night!) and very achy. We buy some flu remedy (and more alcohol!) and head back to the villa.

I booked Lisa and Maurice an ADR at the Portobello Yacht Club at Downtown Disney a few months ago. Mark, Kirsty and I will look after Jack and Megan (Lisa will look after Kirsty on Saturday when me and Mark go to Victoria and Alberts). This was a really good idea as it gives each couple a night out on their own. The kids are also very good and a pleasure to look after.

The rest of us eat at McDonalds at Downtown Disney but I am really feeling ill now, so I walk back to our Villa for an early night and Mark takes the kids to Disney Quest. I am not keen on Disney Quest and do not feel that I am missing anything and find this early night really helps as I feel much better afterwards.

First they go on the new improved Pirates of the Carribbean with the new 3d glasses

Lisa and Maurice enjoyed the restaurant. Italian is Lisa's favourite.

I believe a night cap of Irish Coffees is had by the adults and then to bed.
