The Trip on a Budget (ish) Day 16, Jellyrolls!
Woke up today still feeling a bit dodgy but felt better than the night before. We decided to go out for breakfast but by the time we went out it was about lunchtime! We decided to go to Dennys and to an old fashioned one by Walmart. From the outside it looks like a tin trailor. It was quite simply one of the worst places we have ever been to in the USA. There was hardly anyone inside and yet still out waiter (1 of 3) barely served us at all! We had to wait 20 mins to order a drink while he stood around chatting to one of the other servers. Our food took ages to come once we ordered, my chicken sandwich was supposed to have ranch sauce on, it took me ages to get the guys attention to ask for it and then Sy had completely finished his meal and was finished at least 5 mins before he came back with the sauce, by which time the food was cold, so I sent it back and he tried to give me a story that he had to make the sauce, there is no way he was making the sauce, it very obviously came in ready made, and I cannot tell you how cross I was at being lied to. I would have rather hed said to me I am so sorry, I completely forgot, please let me get you a fresh one but he just put the blame onto me and said in future I need to make sure when I order that they had some ready made! Erm, dont let me order it if you can make it! Anyway, as you can tell, it kinda put my back up pet hate of mine being lied to. We didnt leave a good tip and spoke to a manager on the way out as to why. (Cost in the end $21).
A few pics from inside
We then made our way into Walmart to get a few bits to take home for family. We had a little shopping list for people and spent $32. Afterwards we decided to go over to Beaches and Cream, wed never been before so wanted to give it a try. We managed to get a table straight away which is pretty amazing considering the tiny size of the place! We had the most amazing ice-creams wed had in a long time. ($20)
After we finished we took our time walking back out to the car, taking the place in. We have since decided after we were home that we would like to stay in the Beach Club on our next trip (our first on-site hotel stay for Sys 30th).
We went for a swim once back at the condo but I was feeling a bit dodgy again so I had a lie down for a bit. We then got changed and made our way out to dinner, we decided on Hooters as the food was nice the other day. We had a couple of cocktails and dinner ($50) and then made our way back to Disney to the Boardwalk and Jellyrolls. Weve always fancied going to Jellyrolls but never forked out the $20 in case we didnt enjoy it. We were really please we did spend that $20 though as it was great fun! I had a few cocktails and Sy had some diet cokes (driving) it cost $35 in drinks. The dueling pianos were brilliant, you could request anything along with a $5 bill however we didnt have any cash
but we were happy to listen to other requests. The atmosphere was brilliant in there, everyone was having a good time singing along.
We were having a good time when all of a sudden I felt ill and had to run to the toilet, I had a seriously upset tummy, was being sick and had a poorly tum it was time to go home, though it did take us quite a while to get back to the car as I kept having to stop cause I thought I was going to be sick or worse I did think at the time maybe it was because I had a few drinks (I dont drink usually) but as Sy reminded me, I was ill the night before and on and off again all day so I think the alcohol just made it worse.
I spent most of the night not well at all
Total spends for the day $128
Tomorrow, Magic kingdom!!
