Me Totally happy vacationer
DBF Getting used to more new experiences than are probably good for a man of his age ;)
On my plan I had put down TL with a ? for this day, as DBF is not really a water person, but I thought it would give him a chance to relax after the alarms of the previous day, and so it worked out. We had breakfast at Friendly's, then drove to TL, I got us settled then made straight for Shark reef, one of my favourite Disney experiences, always best first thing in the morning when the fish are near the surface. DBF took pictures of me from the underwater viewing gallery. Not the most flattering pictures I have ever had taken, but you cant see my face for the mask, so thats ok :blush:
We had a lesurely ride round in the tubes, I couldnt persuade DBF to go on any of the slides, but he had a nice nap, while I became probably the oldest person that day to do Humunga Kowabunga. I hope I never grow up, and DBF could always pretend I wasnt with him :secret: We had a nice splash about in the wave pool, then headed to Downtown Disney for a browse round the shops and lunch at Earl of Sandwich. Again, portions WAY too big for us but they were so good!!
We also went into Disneyquest, but only cos it was included on our ticket. Years ago when it was first opened I went in with my kids, we werent impressed then, and were even less impressed now. It is the one thing at WDW that I dont think they ever got right, and it seems to have just been left to fall apart. Ok, computer games are not really our thing, but even the young people in there were pretty disappointed with it. I certainly wouldnt recommend anyone to pay to go in.
We the took a bus to the Poly, where we had a drink and a stroll round. I would love to stay there some day, then we took the monorail to the Grand Floridian (WOW!) where we relaxed in the lounge and listened to the piano player.
We headed back to Downtown Disney to collect the car, and rounded off our day with drinks and snacks at our favourite I Drive bar the Brick House. We were now becoming regulars, but it is such a friendly place, and so convenient for us to round off our days and stagger the short distance back to the hotel. (We were staggering cos we are OLD of course, not cos we had had too much of the local beverages!) :thumbsup:
