Thursday, we had decided to go to Typhoon Lagoon and after cereals in the room, the kids and I headed out for the bus. DH already had T-times set for the rest of the trip.
We arrived at TL about 10:30am, bought our tickets at the gate and headed in to get our locker rental. We walked around and found some empty chairs to leave our towels and I headed for Castaway Creek, while the kids went to the big wave pool. I floated around a couple of times and then went to locate the kids for the Gang Plank Falls family raft ride. I discovered that they had already done the Shark Reef twice and I decided that the 2 previous times I had done it last summer, was enough freezing water for me! Dan and I did go over to watch from the underwater viewing area, though. From the raft ride we did Mayday and Keelhaul Falls and the Storm Slides. Tim was the only one to go on Humunga Kowabunga, which he did only once. Apparently, he uncrossed his feet and looked very pained when he stood up at the end! Somewhere, in all that fun, we fit in lunch at Leaning Palms. Before we left, Tim and I floated around the Creek a couple of more times, while Dan relaxed back at the chairs.
It looked like quite a thunderhead was building in the sky in the distance, so we decided to go back to the room. I had laundry to do, so Dan and Tim plunked themselves down in the food court, reading and listening to their CDs, while I went back and forth between the big screen TV in the food court and the laundry room at the big pool.
Later the kids went for their dinners at the food court, while I waited for DH to return from golfing and went with him. We had our usual coffee and pastry before heading back to the room to watch TV with the kids before turning in for an early night. I had been debating about doing E-ticket night the next day and after talking it over with the kids, we decided to do it, so we needed a good nights sleep. We would go to Magic Kingdom in the morning and see what it was like on a day after early entry day.

Isnt it nice to have kids who can do things on their own!
