If you've read part one, you know we just had cookies and milk and were going to bed.
Recap of part one:
Good flights on SW
Bad choices at EA at National
Red Roof Inn on Major was good for $32
Room 1644 is PERFECT!
8/9 - Friday
Before we left, we had a thread going about keeping milk cold, and we came up with a good one. We brought a 2 six-pack deep softsided cooler. After we had cookies and milk on Thursday night, I put the leftover milk in an empty water bottle, loaded the cooler with ice, and put the milk in there. It stayed cold all night, and we used it for breakfast at 8:45 Friday morning.
9:30 am we ran to see Shrek. Absolutely AWESOME!!! And the photo op after the ride was good. It's on my wall already! Kids enjoyed ET next---nothing can follow Shrek! Rode MIB 3x through a rain storm outside. Love that ride. DS(5) didn't like Jaws, so after first time, DH takes DD(9) and DS(7) again.
I LOVE the monster cafe decor, so we had lunch there. We ordered two halves of a chicken and split everything. At home I make one roast chicken, so I figured ordering two halves would do it! I supplement with my own snacks and Capri suns for the kids, so it worked great.
Headed to Jimmy Neutron 2x after lunch, and then met SpongeBob and Jimmy. Had a separate picture taken of DH and Sponge, and this year DH's kindergarten students think he is the coolest guy around, because he has photos with Sponge and Spidey! Then, of course, back to Shrek!
Left US around 3 pm to go to Belz to do all of my souvie shopping. After Belz, hit McD for a cheap dinner, hit a store for more milk, bread (for PBJ) Capri Suns and Coke (ME!)
6:30 pm we are back at IOA walking on Spidey 3x!
DH headed to DD for a ride on each.
Spent an hour in Jurassic Park Discovery Park LOST in those caves! It is neat in there!
At RPR at 9 pm, and in the pool watching fireworks until 10:15! Hit the pillows around 11 pm.
8/10 - Saturday - LAST FULL DAY!
8:30 wake up call is Spidey (DS7), 8:40 is Bettye Boop (DD9), 8:50 is Cat in the Hat (DS5). Head to HRH pool to play! Kids enjoyed playing pool football with the lifeguard, and it was good to see another property. Use the kids Grade A card to get them some drinks for the walk to US.
11 am - went directly to US from HRH still in bathing suits. Did Shrek and Jimmy while it POURED. Since MIB was broken, and Curious George closed due to lightening, we had an early lunch.
1:30 headed to IOA (still in suits from HRH)
Spidey (are you shocked!?!?)
River Adventure---had to try the back row
Dudley ---just to test the "butt off the seat" theory again
Popeye---simply awesome!
Start to leaving....but get one more Spidey in!
6 pm at RPR
After an extremely long wait for the boat---the ONLY wait we had for a boat the whole trip---we missed the Flippers we ordered, so we headed to Pastamore around 6:30 instead.
8 pm at IOA
DS(5) told us that on the phone this morning the Cat told him to come ride his ride twice tonight. Now DH (on the phone extension) knew this to be untrue...but it's vacation, so we went there first.
Saw Poseidon's Fury which everybody LOVED!!!
DH rode "Fire" DD again (Fave).
Flying Unicorn x2.
Had to have ice cream, and scouted out a great lagoon view for the fireworks. It happened to be our last night, and the last night for fireworks for the summer, so it was kinda special.
Back at RPR by 10:30, and DH went to the hot tub while the kids fell asleep.
If you are still with me, I'll see you at Part Three!
