Day 11
No rush again today as it is a shopping day . We lounge around then head of to find The Florida Mall at 10am. We know it is at Orange Blossum Trail and Sandlake Rd but what we don't know is that Orange Blossum Trail becomes Main St at the 192. So, the end result is that we give up...turn around and go to the Lake Buena Vista Factory Outlet Mall. The mall has added a Travel City Direct Check In for British tourists, consequently the mall is full of folk with heavy suitcases waiting to check their luggage. We like this mall because it has some good stores including Old Navy, V and J,KB Toys ,Reebok,The Gap etc.Matthew bought some jeans (which were only $10 for Wranglers).We also came across another child meltdown where we witnessed a 6 year old who would not have been out of place in The Exorcist movie (the way he was screaming,kicking and punching his mother and father was unbelievable......I can't imagine what it would be like for 7 hours on a plane with him!).
Home for lunch and a swim.
Out again at 4-30pm for dinner at The Rainforest Cafe at DTD.
Because of the early dinner time we had no problem getting seated.
Dinner and nin achoholic drinks.$59 + tip. Although we enjoy the atmoshere ,the food is only so-so and it became very busy and very noisy after 5pm. We probably won't be going back again anytime soon.
DH says Hooters should be given a chance.DW walks on in disgust!
We then get the little boat to take us to The French Quarter of the Port Orleans Hotel. We thrn take the riverside walk around to the Riverside Resort.
the kids play a few games in the amusement arcade and we then take the boat back to DTD which is considerably busier due to the guest going for an evening of fun at DTD (we only go to the Port Orleans to check a few things out for our inlaws who are staying there later this month).
Favourites
Mum - Lake Buena Vista Outlets
Dad and Matthew - Boat Ride
Nicole - Getting her Tamagachi from Claires in LBVFO
Dislikes

--- FL in the summer. Can't wait to hear more. 
I can't beleive that you gave up looking for that mall - I can picture you going around and around - lol - It sounds like you got some pretty good deals at the outlet mall though! I have to say that I agree with DH - I'm sure he just wanted to try HOOTERS for the hot wings 
That pofq sounds great I hope that your blood relatives not inlaws enjoy it.
