The Trip on a Budget (ish) Day 8, SeaWorld & Shopping!
We were up and out of the condo quite late today, we had a long day at EPCOT yesterday so we were taking it easy. We decided to go to Golden Corral for breakfast as Anne and Cliff had never been to a buffet breakfast in the USA. We didn’t get there till about 11am by which time it was pretty quiet. The food was good though and we would definitely go back. It was a new one that had only just opened along the 192 near Disney. We were actually there as they put out the lunch things and they looked lovely, I have never been to a buffet lunch/dinner before and I would definitely give it a go sometime
(breakfast cost $44 inc tip)
Straight from breakfast we went to SeaWorld. We saw the observation tower going up so we headed straight for that as we’d never done it before. We loved it, it was a few $ well spent! ($17 to be exact)
Some photos
We then went to feed the rays; (Anne and Cliff paid)
We wandered round to see the Dolphins and Manatees after that. It was a very hot day today so it was nice to view them underwater in the air-conned rooms.
We stopped for a few pic’s outside
We then went to watch the Dolphin show, I don’t think I could ever tire of that show! I think it has to be my favorite of them all
We then decided to leave as it was getting so hot it was unbearable. We stopped for an ice-cream on the way out though which was lovely. ($8.50)
After we left we headed for the Premium outlets at the top of I-Drive. We left the boys at a bar (Cliff doesn’t do shopping!!) whilst we went for a bit of a wander round. We didn’t go to too many shops but managed a quick stop in the Yankee Candle shop to get a few bits
we then went back to find the boys and get a drink ($27 drinks, $40 on presents & shopping)
Once we’d finished our drinks we went back to a VERY hot car and made our way back to the condo for a shower and change, ready to go out for dinner.
As it was Anne and Cliff’s last night before flying home we wanted it to be a bit special, so I don’t quite know how we ended up in hooters while there was a very loud game of baseball on the big screens LOL. We did have a good meal though. ($60 total so $30 per couple)
When we had finished dinner we went back to the condo so that Anne and Cliff (or just Anne ) could pack ready for leaving early the next morning. Their flight wasn’t until the evening but we wanted to go to Clearwater Beach to have a boat trip and have a lovely day by the beach.
Total spends for the day;
$166.50
