Magic Kingdom
We decided to eat out today and headed to IHOP on the 192.
Gianni had his Silver 5; Gabs French Toast; Enz the buffet and I had the Nut n Grain Pancakes and oodles of maple syrup.
Took a while to get the food but we left there feeling nicely podged.
We decided to go to the Magic Kingdom and arrived at about 11ish.
We did Buzzs Ranger Spin I won
. Stitchs Great Escape was followed by the Tomorrowland Transit Authority & Space Mountain. Any rides that were air conditioned were going to win our love today!
From Tomorrowland we walked to Mickeys Toontown Fair where the children got soaked on Donalds Boat before we boarded the train for Frontierland.
We wanted to do the 2 Mountains here Splash had an hours wait so we grabbed the good old Fastpasses and made our way to Big Thunder Mountain where we queued for 20 minutes.
More air-con was needed so we headed to the Columbia Harbour House for a bit to eat. It was gone 2pm by now and we were STARVING!!! The kids had the Mac n Cheese, grapes and Goldfish crackers; Enz had a bowl of chilli (as you do when its baking hot out!) and I had the hummus and broccoli slaw sandwich.
It was nearly 3 oclock when we came out so Enz and the kids went to ride Splash.
I didnt feel like getting wet so found a nice little stop to swelter and watch the parade which was lovely, short and sweet.
It was so so hot today and by 4 oclock we were pooped and wilting so decided to head back home. We stopped to buy Gianni an ice-cream in Adventureland and both of the children had rice crispie treat from the Main Street Bakery.
As we waited to get the Monorail to get back to the car park the wind had really picked up and the clouds were really dark. The boat had been cancelled back! Leaves were being blown all over the place and I had to chase my cap! We were getting a bit worried!
There was so much we didnt get to do in the Magic Kingdom this year but the fact that it was hot and were all booked up for October 2006 didnt make it feel so bad. I normally make the family rush around and I have everything planned down to the last detail before we hit a park because it might be the last time we ever come here (yeah yeah, who am I kidding!).
We didnt do Mickeys Philharmagic, which we love, or the re-vamped Its a Small World and I really really wanted to have an ice-cream cookie from the shop on Main Street but I didnt feel like eating much in the heat.
We were pleasantly surprised, as was the case at all the parks, that the queues were nice and short. I think wed timed the holiday to coincide with the schools in Florida starting back woo hoo!
There was a pleasant breeze by the time we got back to our pool the threatening weather of earlier came to nothing.
I could quite easily have fallen asleep early this evening but no chance!
Gianni had spent so much time in the pool on the last couple of evenings that the rough floor in the pool had scraped the skin off the underside of his toes and they were bleeding! OUCH!
We all showered and dressed and headed to Walgreens for Band Aid Enz stayed in the car with Gianni whilst Gabs and I went in to get the plaster. Big mistake on Enzs part really lol I came out with 2 carrier bags of stuff
I justified it by having bought some heat pads for Enzs bad back which were 2 boxes for $7 which Im sure was a bargain.
We left the Walgreens car park and travelled along on one of our Where shall we eat? type of drives with questions of what about there? and replies of No I dont fancy there.
We eventually stopped at the Uno Pizzeria just past Old Town its hard to make decisions!
We shared a mixed platter starter and for main Gabs had a pizza, Enz a shrimp & steak skewer, I had shrimp and Gianni, not finding anything to his taste on the kids menu, had a baby rack of ribs.
A couple of cheesecakes to share and $100 including tip later youll not believe what we did yep we waddled out of there.
The intake of so much food made us feel very sleepy so Enz drove home whilst I slept just for a change
We did a lot of driving on this trip with the Villa being a fair way out, and I commented to Enz that if Id been on my own with the kids I never would have made it back every night I would have had to check into a hotel for an overnight stop lol
