Tuesday 9th – steps 10655
Today we again got up around 9, I had pre booked FP at Hollywood Studios but we decided to skip then and instead go shopping.
I booked a few FP at the Magic Kingdom for the evening just in case, I think I managed to pick up a Wishes FP in my selection.
So we headed to the Premium Outlets on Vineland Road and did shopping from 11 - 5. We had a few things that we wanted to get – including some new work clothes for Rob.
We got lunch in the food court, we both had burgers and it cost us around $20. We also got ourselves some Godiva soft serve ice cream in the afternoon which cost us $10.
After our shopping exploits we headed back to the hotel for a rest before going in search of dinner.
We decided to try an Olive Garden and we had a nice meal. I think we both had salad and breadsticks then I had ravioli and Rob had something similar to a carbonara.
We finished off with 3 mini desserts which were yummy, cost us $51 with tip.
We headed over towards the Magic Kingdom but as we got closer it started to rain and on checking the forecast it was going to stick around.
The rain got heavier and so we abandoned our plan to hit a few rides and watch the fireworks.

Lunch $19.79
Ice cream $9.63
Dinner at Olive Garden $51
Coffee $5.27

Wednesday 10th – steps 12239
Not sure how early we were up today, but based on the trend for this trip I would guess not early!
Today we were going back to the Magic Kingdom and we arrived at around 11. We started off with a FP for Jungle Cruise which is always a fun ride, the jokes are old but that is part of the attraction.
We had lunch booked at The Plaza for 12 and I had a surprise for Rob. It was his birthday in a couple of days and so I had ordered him a special cake.
As I checked us in for our lunch I asked the host if they could let our server know that it was a surprise and not to say anything during the meal. Unfortunately this caused much confusion for the host which lead to Rob growing suspicious (and he remained that way throughout the meal).
We both had sandwiches and then instead of dessert our server brought out the cake and announced Rob’s birthday to the restaurant and got them to sing Happy Birthday! Rob was not keen on the singing…!
The cake was brilliant though and turned out just as I had hoped – my request was for a mini cake to “look like Mickey”
After lunch we had some time until our next FP so we went to Storybook Circus and decided to ride Dumbo, oddly though they made us wait for a few minutes in the play area – which was just weird!
We went back across to Tomorrowland as our next FP was Space Mountain, we still had spare time though so hopped on the People mover.
Once we got off it started to rain heavily, we sheltered for a little then decided to take another trip around on the People mover – we were mostly dry but did encounter a couple of waterfalls on the way around.
We got off and decided to abandon Space Mountain and head instead to Buzz Lightyear and get in the standby queue as it was closer and inside!
Somehow I scored slightly higher than Rob (he now says he let me win), and when we got out it was still raining so we decided to head back to the hotel.
We did a little bit of shopping on the way out, Rob got a couple of new polo shirts and I got my 2015 castle pin for my collection.
Back at the hotel we watched some TV for a while as it continued to rain outside.
At around 7 we drove back across as it seemed to be clearing up, but when we got back to the TTC it started raining even heavier again. We waited in the car for about half an hour before giving up and heading home.
We got some takeaway pizza near the hotel and had dinner in the room.
Costs:
Parking $17
Plaza lunch (inc cake) $84.07
Polo shirts and pin $67.05
Pizza $18
