We woke up nice and early today and luckily i feel fine after yesterday :)
Today we are going to be driving :scared1: to IOA ...i don't know why i was worried about the driving ! i can't beleive how easy everything is to find.
we arrived at IOA at 8.45 and parked in the hulk section.

we had a character breakfast booked at the confisco grill at 10am as a surprise for matthew and i spotted the restaurant straight away ;)
we decide to head for spiderman 1st and we rode that 3 times

The character breakfast was a buffet with spiderman thing one and two and the cat in the hat

because we had a later seating the characters spent lots of time with us ....spiderman was very good and he spent ages chatting to matthew about the differences between American and English sayings.

we spent the rest of the day getting soaked on popeye ! a much better ride than kali rapids IMO and the rip-saw falls

Then we discovered this

and the river adventure ride !! ds thought this was brilliant and we rode it so many times :rotfl2:

i also saw this sign

so true :rotfl2:

by 3pm the heat was getting to us and we sat in the shade and shared a cinnabon (OMG !! so nice) and then got back in the car and headed to DTD for a counter service meal at the Earl of sandwich.
The sandwiches here are so lovely even the kids enjoyed them ;) sorry i forgot to take any pics but the kids both had the turkey swiss kids meal and me and dh had the tuna sandwiches.

we didnt use any table service credits today to make up on the 2 each we used at the C.Grill :)

We then drove back t pop and the kids splashed around in the pool for a bit and then at 9pm we wondered over to the hippy dippy pool as there was a pop meet going on that night and i wanted to say hi :) we stayed for a while and had a lovely chat with fellow dissers

Tomorrow MNSSHP :sad2: :sad2: :sad2:

A great day:goodvibes I will have to remember about Breakfast with Spiderman - DS will love that :)
 
That character meal would be a hit with our kids - maybe next year :rolleyes:
 
Great day, Nat, so pleased you were feeling better. I agree, the Popeye ride at IOA is WAY better than Kali. I had a tuna sandwich at the Earl too and it was soooo nice :goodvibes
