Osborne lights one last time... oh and quite a lot of shopping too! Days 5 and 6!

Monday 21st Dec

This morning we had a late start after being out last night; we decided to head over to Disney Springs again for lunch at Earl of Sandwich, this time we both had the Earl’s Club.

We took a look in some of the shops for a new phone case for Rob but couldn’t find one he liked. We also looked at adding pins to my collection but I decided to wait and get them another day.


We decided to go to Walmart to look around, we particularly like looking at their Christmas decorations which are amazing! 




We didn’t find everything we wanted so we tried a second Walmart and a Target! We did manage to get Rob an Otter box case and got a nice table runner. 



We went back to our room for a while and then got pizza for dinner at NYPD again, before heading across to Disney Springs to watch Star Wars in 3D. 




The movie started at 8 but we arrived at around 7.15 and managed to find 2 seats on the aisle which was good, it filled up pretty quickly and people were struggling to find seats together.

One thing we found odd about watching a movie in the US was the cheering and clapping that occurred during the show. We also had a guy and his child who did not sit in their seats for the movie - for some reason they stood just above the entrance and the child wandered around which was slightly distracting….

Tuesday 22nd Dec

Today was our last full day :( 

We decided to visit the Premium Outlets at  I-drive, we don’t tend to visit these as often as we can never find anywhere to park. 

We had a wander around but didn’t buy very much; I got a pair of jeans at US Polo Association and Rob got a pair of noise cancelling headphones at the Bose shop. 

We had Five guys burgers for lunch, stupidly we both ordered fries when one portion would have been enough to share!

We headed back to the hotel - passing massive queues of cars headed into the outlets……getting here early was clearly a good idea. 

We decided we should spend some time packing which was a huge challenge due to the lego and the fact that we had bought several pairs of shoes between us! 

We managed to get most of our stuff packed and left the rest for the next morning.

This evening I wanted to watch Holiday Wishes so we drove to the Ticket and Transportation Centre and parked the car. We took the resort monorail to the Grand Floridian and got a couple of pictures.








While we were there we saw Mickey and Minnie dressed in cute Christmas outfits but they had a really long line so I didn’t stop to meet them.

I bought myself a gingerbread and chocolate Mickey head at the shop before heading across to the Contemporary. 



We decided to get food at the contempo cafe, for some reason Rob ordered the caprese flatbread and apparently it did not taste good :(


To end the evening we watched holiday wishes from the stairs next to the viewing platform as there were already lots of people waiting. It was quieter and we got a much better view - they seem to have stopped playing the soundtrack for the moment.
