The OMG my husband is so awesome TR - Day 5, TL & AK

Day 5

We were up about 9am and in the spirit of wanting to stay in the room for as long as possible we decided to order room service breakfast Sy placed the call and shortly we had a light breakfast delivered to the room. While we waited I packed our things up while Sy watched me, hmmm...

Our breakfast.



Even the butter had mickey's on!



Once we finished our breakfast we called bell services to pick up our bags and headed out to Typhoon Lagoon

We were soon pulling into a VERY full car park, oh dear. I thought we were arriving shortly after opening however the park opened at 9am today, not 10 (like I'm used to when we come out of season). It was packed! We made our way inside and got changed. We managed to find 2 spare seats (not loungers!) and left our things there while we headed straight into the wave pool. We had fun messing about in the waves for a little bit. I love my underwater camera...







We then decided to go for a a laze around in the lazy river, we went round twice






We then decided to head back into the wave pool for more wave fun

I think this one I was telling Sy to wait there till the wave gets closer...



I'm pretty sure I 'forgot' to tell him that it was getting close

After a while in the pool our tummies were rumbling... We did only have a light breakfast after all I had received an email that morning from Outback offering a free starter to anyone who mentioned a word (which I could remember from the email, shockingly) so we decided rather than getting some mediocre fast food from TL we would head offsite and grab some lunch. We went to shower and change which is when I realised I had forgotten to bring underwear :O Whoops! So we couldnt go right for lunch, we had to make a trip over to VGF for our bags (we thought we may as well pick them all up rather than have to head back there again after lunch).

Bags picked up, we headed to a very empty Outback along the 192 and were seated right away. Our server throughout the meal was nice enough but really wasn't that efficient. I finished my drink before she brought our mains and I didn't get a refill till after I had finished. She was no where to be seen or I would have asked before - where we were sat was on our own too so there were no servers coming past or I would have asked them. The food was good though We started with Alice springs quesadilla (for free, bonus!) Then I had a chicken burger with loaded potato and Sy had steak and shrimp, at lunchtime. Yup. He did have the smallest steak possible but even so











We paid our bill and made the sad trip back to our hotel along International Drive.

On return to our hotel I unpacked our things. I did notice our blind had been put up however the floor was still a bit minging :-/

Once our things were unpacked we had a lay down and watched some tv. Before we knew it we had both had a nap we hopped back out of bed and got ready to head back out again, this time to Animal Kingdom We kinda made a mistake having such a big lunch as we had an evening ADR at Yak & Yeti. Luckily we had the latest possible ADR so we had a little while before more food :S

We parked up inside AK and headed straight for Dinosaur where I had scored us Fastpasses



Sorry this one is a bit blurred



I just can't get enough of Dinosaur, I think its a real untapped ride. People don't get how much fun it is

Afterwards it was getting about time for food :-/ oh dear. I really wasn't feeling very hungry after our lunch but we went ahead anyway (we might have been tempted to cancel if they didn't have the new $10 per person charge). We did have a really good meal though. We were sat at almost the exact same as Jenny and I were sat at in March.





I decided to have the bourbon chicken again as it was so good last time, Sy went for the duck.





The real downside of the big lunch was that there was just no way I was going to be able to manage my favourite dessert, Mango Pie! Boooo!

We got some erm, interesting fortunes in the cookies at the end...

Sy's...



Mine...



LOL

While at dinner we missed our fastpass for the Lion King ah well, we are back in October so guess we will see it then

We did however have fastpasses for Kali Rapids. We scanned our bands and walked up the queue line however we got about half way before I felt a bit dodgy. I shouldn't eat too much and today I had definitely eaten too much. We had to back track and find a bathroom sharpish, luckily we made it to the bathroom in the counter service yak and yeti seating area. Sy grabbed a seat and waited for me and then I came out to sit with him for a little bit till I was feeling more myself. A few mins later I was feeling up to trying Kali again so off we went, luckily the same people were at the front and after a quick explanation they let us through.





We managed to ride twice as there was no queue whatsoever. I tried to take pictures and videos of us going down the big drop but the battery died just as we got to the top! Noooooooooooooo!!! Ah well, it was good, you will just have to take my word for it

After our second go the ride was closed as the park was closing so we waddled out to the car, waddled partly due to how wet we were and partly due to how full we still were!

When we got back to the car I finally managed to grab a pic of it...



On the way back to the hotel we decided to pop into Walmart to get a few things to take home. Walmart was literally the opposite side of the I4 to our hotel...



We grabbed all we thought would fit into our cases, paid up and headed back to the hotel. We both showered and I washed my hair before falling into bed, still full of food
