We woke up to torrential rain this morning ! luckily i had planned a rest day or a catch up on anything we had missed so it wasn't going to affect us too much ;)
After doing a bit of packing and waiting to see if it was going to stop raining we decided to get in the car and drive to Downtown Disney (i had an idea that we could go to the cinema) we parked right near the cinema and the virgin store.
We browsed the shops a bit and got some gifts and went into goofy's candy co to get some sweets for the cinema (we had decided to see Ratatuoille) and then we went into earl of sandwich for lunch

After lunch the rain stopped and the sun started to come through so we quickly ditched the cinema idea and decided to use our free magic kingdom pass and go on a few rides.....thats what we came all this way for after all. we also managed to see the parade after grabbing a great spot at the start :thumbsup2

We took the car back to pop before heading back on the bus to the polynesian resort for our ADR at kona cafe

we had never been to Kona before but we would certainly go again...we had a lovely meal

we both had Lump Crab Cakes - pan-seared lump crab cakes with Asian tartar and pineapple relish to start

I had Beef Teriyaki - 10 ounce sirloin strip, grilled with pineapple teriyaki sauce, mashed Yukon gold potatoes, and stir-fried broccoli florets

I still havn't worked out why I let them talk me into it but I had the Kiddie Kone for dessert because the kids wanted to try it !! they ate most of it as well !!

I was merrily taking pictures of our desserts when the lady at the next table was taking pics of her food as well ! I cheekily asked if she was copying me and she turned out to be a dis member as well :) goodness knows what the other diners thought tho :rotfl2:

Tomorrow: Magic Kingdom, a Hinckley meet ;) and chef mickey's
 
Ha ha! So did you have a good natter about the DIS? I would be worried that people would think I was odd taking pics of my dinner! ha ha!
I love the pic of Stitch! :)
 

Your photos at the Magic Kingdom are lovely, you would never have believed that you had torrential rain that morning

A fab day Nat :thumbsup2

Mandy :)
 
We had a great meal at Kona too (see my siggie photo) the waiter couldn't wait to get rid of us for some reason though :rolleyes1 :rotfl2:
 
We must come here next time as have never been.

Sounds like a great "rest" day!!

Lovely day Nat - we love Kona cafe too. I think you might've had the same meal as I did last time (though I drew the line at the Kiddie Kone :rotfl: )
 
Great spot for the parade
 
A lovely day, Nat, and I'm sure much more fun than going to the cinema! Your parade spot must have been great, the pics are lovely. Both of your main courses at Kona sound delicious, I would have been hard pushed to choose. And the Kiddie Kone is definitely right up my street (not sure I would have been sharing though!
