Matt's 18th Birthday trip - Now Live

[irenep]

We have stayed on Millers rd last 2 years and will try get there again this year, we like the pool and being last stop out of the resort but we also liked block 55 at South point with water view. Don't think we really mind where we are just as long as its not a ground floor room, we prefer higher

We like Millers road too - DS doesn't like the main pool and we had the quiet pool all to ourselves loads of times last year

Have never been to Logan's yet...must get there some day but maybe not this time what with all that free dining

Looking forward to reading more about your trip and the wait times etc....it'll give us a good idea of what's in store when we arrive in 2 weeks..hoping the chance of being 'Brazilianed' by then will be a lot less

What time of year were you at Millers Road?
Just on the verge of on line check in and room requests.

Thanks

We were there October last year in a 1BR on the 2nd floor of building 20, loved it- but if you are in a studio be sure to ask for one away from the road i.e.golf course side of the building- some of the studios are so close to the road and the buses it would not be pleasant and I agree with Wayne about asking for higher floor

What a great new word

I can't take the credit, I borrowed it from London75's thread. I didn't full appreciate the word until today.

Our car, Ford Expedition.

This evenings meal was at Mimi's cafe. As always with Mimi's great food and massive portions. One course was more than enough.

selection of bread

Matt's Jambalaya

Karens Turkey dinner

And my Cajun chicken Alfredo.

Time for blueberry vodka and coke

That group looks scary! I hope you don't encounter many more like that my town gets lots of language students over summer but they are normally in groups of 15 and to be fair they are not hyped up with excitement - they are only in Worthing after all!

Did you ride Despicable Me? wondered what it was like.
(I think our FOTL passes are good for this next month)

An have to add - loving to food porn -

I've worked out how to find your new posts without having to do the hokey-cokey backwards and forwards through the thread. So (for now at least) I'm keeping up! No need to thank me. No, really.

Deb - please share! I love trip reports (Wayne's is especially good) but having to navigate through umpteen pages to find the latest trip report itself is a nightmare!

Glad you are getting round even with the Brazilians, perhaps you can join them and get on some of the rides even quicker.

Saw you got Matt's Ipad, we were thinking of getting one, have you got details of what exactly you got as I'm not very techy and I presume it was the apple store.

Enjoying the live trip as usual and won't be long till we are out there and will try Logan's on first night as you have recommended it.

Looking forward to next update Have fun!

We dined at the Logan's on Sand Lake Road but from a previous years trip preferred the one on 192.

We always enjoy Logans offerings and will be taking a look at the new Logans along the 192 (the other side of Formosa Gardens - opposite the new Super Target complex i.e. on the right heading west).

We have now moved out of OKW and Liz and I are now rattling around in a 4 bed villa at Indian Creek. No more DDP but we managed to use all of our credits but perhaps it is just as well or I may have been looking for a wider seat on the flight home. We have some catching up to do on our our food thread but there are some impressive food pics to post including my 28oz Porterhouse at Yachtsman's Steakhouse. Meanwhile we are eating off site beginning last night with a most impressive and tremendous value meal at Carrabba's - 3 courses for $15, pics to follow.

Loving the updates Wayne. If you struggle with the groups you would not enjoy July. We had competing Brazillian, Argentinan and Columbian groups.
Mind you I think a pack of teenagers of Scottish , English, American of that scale would behave similarly

Just caught up with 9 pages of this - your trip sounds great already - looking forward to reading the rest...

Food looks good at mimi's

We didn't rate breakfast there but have never tried dinner.

It's pretty low-tech! I just do a search for Waynes' posts. That way I can read his last post and all the subsequent responses without having to read backwards.

Erm... what am I missing?

Erm... what am I missing?

I meant to add June/July

 

[UKDEB]

Ahh.

Hope the rest of your holiday is as good as the first couple of days Wayne.

No, it was a 70 min line, I have a 20 min limit for any ride.

So glad you solved the problem.

Saw you got Matt's Ipad, we were thinking of getting one, have you got details of what exactly you got as I'm not very techy and I presume it was the apple store.
.

Yes, Apple store in the Florida Mall, its the 32gb wifi version, $599 + tax = £637, converts to just over £400, UK price is £479 so about £75 saving.

Today we relaxed, bit of shopping (Matt wanted some Polo shirts, see pic) I got a couple of OKW baseball hats & picked up a few things ready for Lily arriving on Tuesday, Bucket, ball, Noodle & squirting fish.
Swim this afternoon then Blue Man Group this evening (thanks Mart) Anew routine this year and still as good, great show.
After the show we ate at the Orlando Ale House LBV, ate far too much yet again.
Tomorrow we move to OKW after lunch with CM friends.

Loaded fries

Chicken Parmesan

Fish & chips

Tuna Melt open sandwich
