Day Four of our trip is what we like to call a "down day". It's a day where we don't really have a plan. That way, we can do whatever we want when we want. This trip, I have two "down days" scheduled.
I think we'll probably sleep in on this day and maybe go for a swim in the main pool. I'm not sure if we'll use our counter service credit for breakfast or an early lunch.
Hunter is just dying to try out the new pool. We didn't even swim in the main pool last year because it was busy and we were constantly on the go. And, we also went to the water park last trip so swimming at the resort wasn't really top priority.
Every year before we leave for the trip, Mama asks us if we are going to rent a surrey bike. We've done it three out of the four times we have stayed there and it's always a highlight of our stay. I know for sure that we'll rent a surrey bike and day four may just be the day to do it. I can't wait to get Mama on one. I think we'll put her in the driver's seat so she can do the brakes and ring the bell if somebody gets in her way.
Last year we rented a surrey bike and had the best time. I hadn't laughed that hard in a long long time. As we were flying down the hill my flip flop got caught on the pedal, flew over my shoulder and right out the back of the bike. It was hilarious! When I got off to go get it, my wonderful loving family drove off without me:

See 'em acting so casual about pedaling off without me!
When I got closer, they stopped and then started leaving me again before I could ever get on. It reminded me of those "Messin' with Sasquatch" commercials. If you don't know what I am talking about go to this link:

Movin' on: Don't buy into those sweet smiling faces. There's sneakiness behind those smiles.

We have a 5:30 p.m. ADR at Planet Hollywood and will use our $15.00 vouchers there. I know that Mama will probably not have to pay much out of her pocket when she uses the $15.00 voucher. We, on the other hand, will but that's okay because we're saving this night's table service credit and combining it with another night so we can go to the luau.
After eating at Planet Hollywood, we'll over to the store and get our free souvenir which, if I am remembering correctly from last year, was a keychain. You think I'm not going to go get it? I certainly am! I paid for it, I'm getting it.

Once we've gotten our el cheapo souvenir, we'll start walking around Downtown Disney to get a little shopping on. My two favorites are World of Disney (as if it couldn't be a favorite) and Mickey Mart (as if a bargain hunter could pass it up).
Nothing else really planned for the evening. Up next: Day 5
