We woke up a little earlier today and I walked a few steps to the Orchid lounge and bought Orange Juice, pastries, cereal, milk, and fruit. Good value and tasty breakfast items. We hit US today and toured the Lucy Tribute and caught the Lucy live performance. Very Very amusing. We also saw the Blues Brothers and rode several rides over again and had a blast playing in Curious George. We ate lunch at Louie's Italian Rest. Great pizza and great great value. We had dinner reservations at Choup Chop at our hotel so we left US around 3:00 to go back and rest and get ready. I have to say I have read a lot of fabulous reports from this rest. How awesome the service is and etc. We were rather dissappointed. Service was just ok. Waiter seemed a bit of a snob and acted as though he was annoyed if we needed anything. Food was ok but certainly not worth the money. Our total including tip for five without ordering anything but water to drink was 240.00. I certainly expected much more. Well we went back to room and two older teens went to Islands to see Spider man and get their pic taken. We had missed him so far and my DD 15 and DH and I just stayed in room and rested.
Last Day: We get up and go and eat our most dissapointing meal yet. Again I have read countless reports of great food at the Islands breakfast buffet. Maybe it was because we were there right before it closed down for the day but hey they didn't charge us any less than anyone else so we expected the food to be awesome for the price. It wasn't and it came to 100.00 for breakfast for 5 ppl. Thank goodness we had eaten in our room most of the week to take away from the cost. Now the food wasn't terrible or anything just plain breakfast food and nothing to write home about. Well after that we left our luggage with luggage services because our driver doesn't arrive until 6:00 pm and we then head over to Portafino for full body massages all of us. It was very very nice, very relaxing after walking all week and we all enjoyed it. Very pricey though, 510.00 for 5 massages. I imagine that is the going rate and realize that between the Choup Chop meal, Islands Buffet and the massages, we spent 850.00 on those 3 things and that was the same as we had spent on food and souvenires all week. Well, it is vacation and we splurged. We then go back to IofA and watch the stunt bike show. It was ok, the worst show we had seen. We went back to RP where our driver pulled up immediately at 6:00pm and he took us to the airport. We had some trouble on the way home with bad weather in ATL. but all in all everything was fine. We got our suitcase back a couple of days later cause they lost it but then again no problem. All in all we had a wonderful vacation. No worries and no complaints. Again, I will answer any ?s and help anyway I can.
