Things had finally caught up with me and I didn't wake up until 7:30 this morning. I was up soon after and before long I was sitting on the balcony having a breakfast of toasted bagel with strawberry cream cheese, which I ate while looking at Spaceship Earth and watching the world go by on the Boardwalk - does life get any better than that?
At about 8:30 we went out and as day 4 tradition dictates, our first stop was the Bass Pro shop at Festival Bay Mall. We had a wander around there and then around the rest of the mall, which always seems to have a load of empty units.
Next stop was the Reebox outlet across the road where I bought a Tampa Bay Buccaneers t-shirt to wear to the game tomorrow and a Miami Dolphins jacket to wear to the annual Wembley NFL games. Both were 50% off the marked price so what would have cost $54.99 only cost me $35.
From there we went to Florida Mall where we went into the Yankee Candle shop and we bought these tarts:
Strawberry Buttercream x 3
Maple Pancakes x 3
Pumpkin Buttercream x 2
Pumpkin Pie x 2
Hazelnut Coffee x 1
Wisteria x 1
Amber Glow x 1
Cinnamon Stick x 1
Mountain Lodge x 2
Fireside x 1
Tahitian Tiare Flower x 1
Tulips x 1
Sweet Melon x 1
Fresh Mint x 1
Blue Hydrangea x 1
Island Spa x 1
Autumn Fruit x 1
Over The River x 1
Pineapple Cilantro x 2
Mango Peach Salsa x 1
Then there were Coconut Bay, Bahama Breeze and Leather car vent sticks (these were buy 2 get 1 free), a Clean Cotton room spray and a tart burner. A lot of the tarts were buy 1 get 1 half price as well so the whole lot only came to $81.65.
From there we had a quick look in the Disney shop and then went round to the food court where we had a slice of pepperoni and sausage stuffed pizza each.
After lunch we had a look round the M&Ms World shop and then left the mall, making our way to Animal Kingdom where Dad wanted to buy a polo shirt and I wanted to buy a hat that we had seen on Thursday.
From Animal Kingdom we went back to BWV, arriving about 3:00, and had a rest before going out for our evening ADR.
We went back out again at 5:00 and after stopping briefly for Dad to get some money out of the cash machine we got the boat over to Epcot. We wandered round to Japan and, as it was still a bit too early to check in for our ADR we had a look round the shop and then sat outside for a couple of minutes. We checked in at 5:45 and were seated a couple of minutes later. Dad had the sushi roll sampler and I had the green onions wrapped in beef to start then we both had the chicken. This was our first time at Teppan Edo but we both thoroughly enjoyed the meal and the show.

After the meal we walked round to Mousegear and had a look around then we wandered over to Art of Disney where I 'spent' a virtual fortune - I could fill a couple of walls with pieces I like in the Art of Disney shops.
By now it was about 7:45 so we wandered round to take up our usual spot for Illuminations and as the peninsula between UK and France was not roped off we went and sat down there. As we waited Mother Nature provided her own pre-show!
This video is about 4 minutes long

Illuminations began about 5 minutes early and once again this is something I could watch every day without getting tired of it.
After the fireworks we hung around for a bit then had a stroll back to the Boardwalk where we had a look around the shops before going back to the room.
We were in bed soon after 10:00 ready for another day of firsts tomorrow.

Day 5
Unfortunately they were on the road the 2 Sundays we were out there otherwise I would have gone to one of their games. The Bucs were the next best thing.
