We are off shopping
As I have already told you mum wanted to change the day as it was not very nice weather!! We got a little shuttle from POR to Alamo car company. First stop was Edwin Watts (golf shop), Prime outlet, and a super target. That was it we were going to go lots more places but mum was getting very stressed!! But we did get to every place very safe and sound which was good!!
We didnt have any pictures again and I have a few logos of some of the shops we went to:
Edwin Watts
Prime Outlet Orlando
Adidas
Banana Republic
Fossil
Tommy Hilfiger
After we bought nearly the whole outlet
we decided to move on and go to the super target!! Everyone said they live on Target we didnt think it was that good it seemed like a massive Tescos (our local groceries store.)
We thought it was ok. We bought: some cough sweets for myself, lots and lots of crisps, some pop tarts as Ellie loves them she got some random flavour frosted chocolate fudge and the cookie dough one too as we dont have those here. I got a chocolate brown skirt and a pink hoddie t-shirt. We also got many essential things like breakfast bars for the mornings before the parks!!
We went back to Alamo at round about 4:30pm and we got a little shuttle to take us back to POR and were back in the room quite quick with our bags and guess what???
IT IS STILL RAINING!!! ARGGGGGGGGGGG
We are in our room and some of us got changed into our new outfits! We were off to Down Town Disney to the Virgin mega store!!
Ellie and I bought ourselves something Dad didnt buy anything and neither did Mum. Ellie bought Guitar hero for the Nintendo DS; she plays on it all the time!! She also bought the Mamma Mia CD and I bought the Camp Rock CD
Down town Disney
Virgin mega store
Camp rock CD
Guitar Hero on DS
Mamma Mia CD
We all started to get very hungry and Dad wanted to go to Earl of Sandwich but I didnt want sandwiches as we had them for lunch. So we went back to POR on the bus as it was still raining. We ordered 2x pizzas and 1x pasta. For dessert we got 3x ice creams. We were back in the room by 8:40pm.
We all were so tired by the end of the day as of all that shopping!!
Tomorrow is our favourite park EPCOT woooohoooo

Thought it was easier for this day for me to do my thoughts in one big bit!
So as Jess said I tried to cancel the rental car, the hurricane was still with us and I was not keen at all for my first time driving on the wrong side of the road to be in the wind and rain
I phoned Alamo up but because Id booked through a UK company (cheaper deal
) I would have to phone the UK to cancel, well me being tight didnt want too so I sucked it up and decided to brave it!!!!
It was very easy to arrange the free transfer to the Disney Car Centre and as we drove there I was busy trying to memorise the route for the way home
We surprisingly were the only ones in the queue and we were quickly given our keys. We walked to the car, OK ran a bit because it was raining, and me keys in hand went to get in the right hand door, uhhhh the steering wheel is on the left silly woman
Anyway I soon found the correct door and after a quick look at how things worked we were on our way, pretty slowly I must say. Oh I must point out this was my first time driving an automatic car too!
The ride went smoothly my navigator (DH) was excellent and after several times of me trying to find the clutch and gear stick as I was braking and a few squeals of will you get into the middle of the road not on the side of the road we arrived at our first shop all in one piece
First stop was Edwin Watts a golf shop, I can remember this shop from when I was a child, I think my first set of golf clubs may have even been bought there. Anyway it was massive but what a disappointment, no bargains at all, most things were full price! We walked out with nothing!
Next was the Prime outlets where we errr spent loads, new trainers for both girls, Jess found the Converse all stars she wanted and they were a fraction of the price. I found several golf skorts, which again were a bargain, oh I also got a nice new fossil watch as my other one had broken a few weeks beforehand. Other things were bought and we also had lunch in the food court, some kind of cheese steak sandwich!
We then drove to Super Target which I didnt think was that fantastic, we still bought a few bits though before heading back along the I4. We arrived back safely and the car was still in one piece too, phew
I cant say I enjoyed the driving, it was pretty stressful in that weather, but would give it another go
As Jess said we then went to DTD in the evening for more shopping, strangely we never found CDs or DS games for sale so off to Virgin we went and spent another $150
There then was a bit of a battle as David wanted to go to his favourite EoS but Jess wasnt having it, so we ended up back at POR. He never let her forget that BTW
