Tried to get up early today so we could get on the rides we wanted to without the big queues. We made it to TL for about 10am, without breakfast – oops!

We went to find ourselves a sun lounger to leave all of our bits and pieces before going straight over to crush and gusher. We rode them all with no queue before going in the pool to play in the waves.

After being in the pool for about an hour we started to get hungry so we decided to go and get a refillable drinks cup and something to eat ($20). Sy got a Tuna Sandwich and I got some chips. We then went to lie on our loungers and catch some rays – we did put plenty of sun cream on (or so we thought…. That will be explained later!).

After a quick snooze we went back into the pool for some more wave fun, this time with the big waves. We spent ages playing around in there. We were also watching a guy with goggles and nose clip on swim into the deep end each time the wave was coming and then riding the waves in as if he was a surf board, just with the shape of his body! He was going from very deep to shallow with each wave, was amazing to watch.

We then decided it was time to get an ice cream, as I went up to get one there was no queue and the CM gave me one he had just done and told me not to pay for it, he said to have a nice day :-) Magic happens to adults sometimes too :D

It was then time to make our way back to the Condo to have a shower and get ready to go out for dinner at Tony Roma’s. On the way home we stopped for a few supplies at Publix ($20). When we got in and I took off my sunglasses Sy took one look at me and burst our laughing... bit strange I thought but he told me to go and look in the mirror, turns out I had a bit of an accident with the suncream, I had remembered to put enough on my body, but I obviously under estimated how much I needed on my face, as I had massive Panda eyes! Not a good look let me tell you…

Anyway, we got ready and made our way to Tony Roma’s. There was a little wait so we waited at the bar with a drink, it was about 20 mins before we got seated, we had actually asked for a waitress, it was the waitress we had when we were there in the days before, her name is Michelle - she was really pleased we had asked for her table. We were there for ages with our meal and by the time we were finishing it was starting to empty and so we were chatting with Michelle for ages about life in general. We then did give her a big tip as we left. (Dinner, plus bottles of Carolina Honey sauce and big tip $100).

Total spends for the day $140

We went straight home afterwards as we were heading to Hollywood
 
Typhoon was also my worst case of sunburn. I was siting in the shallow water when the big wave came and dragged me backwards along the rough floor. Not recommended for a sunburnt back! :scared1: :laughing:
 
Great update Robyn! I haven't been to Typhoon Lagoon for ages, everytime we go to WDW it's closed for a refurb!
