Saturday 20th September................
We all slept like logs last night, and apart from hearing our neighbors at about 3.30am.........yes that`s exactly what they were doing!! We had been lucky this year we had very little sound coming from people around us in rooms so far, and apart from this amorous couple.....well, at one point we werent sure if it was just 2 people.....but apart from them we heard very little. It was funny though, had to laugh especially with Kyle with us in the room.....not what you want to be listening to. We didn`t cheer when they finished this year like we did last time we heard someone. We fell back asleep though and slept till around 8ish which was late for us last few days. It did take us a while to move and when I finally pulled back the drapes......it was raining outside. Surely not more rain. We had no plans for today as usual, but now we would have to come up with something that involved indoors......even I was fed up shopping at this point. So we thought we would have breakfast then decide.
Met the nice couple we had been chatting too this morning, they had loved HHN, I was so pleased..and they had lasted longer than us even with the rain, but they were going home today so had to make the most of it.......after we ate we said our goodbyes to this couple and wished them well, they were going to Studios this morning and he was going to do RRR as he hadn`t done it yet.........I hoped he did. Breakfast was busy this morning even though we were later, and we sat for ages and chatted and ate......eventually the rain subsided and we headed off to get the boat the the parks. We didn`t bring a camera today as wanted just a day where we didn`t stop for pictures or anything like that. I immediately wished we had, but we had taken so many and still had many days to take more. So no camera day was agreed......well until tonight!
It was coolish this morning.....maybe low to mid 70`s......cold to me. But when we got off the boat it immediately felt warmer.....and the sun was coming out. Much better. We headed straight in to the park and thought how busy it was compared to normal, but we were a lot later than normal. As usual the welcome on the turnstiles from staff members is lovely, they are so friendly. As usual though I always seem to end up behind someone who hasn`t signed their tickets or vouchers and it can hold queues up, today is no different so I jump behind DS who always seems to pick the quick queue......we go straight to DM, it had a 60 minute wait showing for regular queue, wow, we get straight on and as usual it`s so much fun. The people in front of us cause a hold up when it comes to being seated.......they leave an empty seat in the first car as grandma wants to sit beside her daughter and grandbaby......TM informs her they do announce parties may be split....she`s having none of it and TM is firm but nice, so she takes grandbaby and sits in the seats that don`t move.....she appears again saying she wants to sit in a motion seat.....at this point everyone is like.....come on......so eventually we move back a seat and we get grandma beside us......what a commotion to cause......poor TM did everything she could and she still wasn`t happy. I was even more gobsmacked when she announced on the way out you don`t mess with folks from Alabama???? Wow!! How can someone get so upset over a seat on a ride? Anyway we went on RRR, Mummy then round to DA again.
We weren`t very hungry as we had late breakfast so we wanted some ice cream instead. Went straight into ice cream parlor and Kyle had his usual chocolate, Tom asked for clotted cream and something else, and I asked for clotted cream. The girl behind the counter had already given Tom his and asked if we wanted to try his first as it was unusual and some people had said it tasted more sour like key lime flavor.......so I tasted some of Tom`s and she was right. That was not clotted cream ice cream the way we have it over here, but it was strangely nice. It was quite sour with some sweetness but I would never have picked clotted cream as the flavor if it was a blind tasting. We did enjoy it anyway as we finished every drop. Wouldn`t order clotted cream one again though, much preferred the toffee soft serve. Kyle thoroughly recommends the chocolate though!!!
We finished them and got up from the steps and went to go on Gringotts, but it was down and so we decide to wander around to MIB. DA was so busy today, I forgot it was Saturday. And this is where I did get annoyed with someone. As we were walking out one person bumped us with his back pack that looked like he should have been camping in the Himalayas with....it was huge!!!! He barely apologised and walked on......two minutes later it happened again......we had turned around to watch the dragon go breathe fire and we had moved to the side of the buildings so we were out of the way when....wham another person turned around....forgot he had a pack the size of an eight year old child on his back and bumped slam into me. It actually hurt this time.....goodness knows what these people carry in these things.......I yelled at him and Tom yelled at him too as he was still moving around and not caring if he hit anyone or not.......well, he was told in no uncertain terms what I thought of him....probably didn`t make the slightest difference to him but at least i told him he was being an idiot bashing around with that thing on his back. I think people forget it can hit people if they turn.....rant over!!
So MIB........it was fun and strangely busy.......there was quite a queue, but on and off in no time and then they went on Simpsons twice, I sat outside Kwik-E-Mart as usual and chatted to a very nice older man from Maine who was waiting for his family. We did ET which was cute as always, then decided to get HE and do a couple of rides in IOA. The queue was non existent for the train, so got to IOA very quickly and strangely the queue to go the Studios was huge! We went on Duelling Dragons a few times, walked round to The Hulk which the regular queue was quite long for a change, did that a few times and Dr Doom. It was incredibly hot now must have been around 3.30ish......so we got some more water, wandered through the Christmas shop where I spied a few things I might like, would keep that for another day. We walked back but oh my what a difference from yesterday temperature wise.......it was gorgeous. Just prayed it would stay nice for tonight as we planned a late night at horror nights.
Went up and got showered and changed and headed up to the Club Lounge where we had a well deserved glass of wine, we also noticed the weather was looking fantastic, it was going to be a totally different night tonight without rain. It was lovely just sitting and relaxing, we had done a lot of walking and of course would be doing a lot tonight, so it was nice to rest. Mike had asked about last night, well, he hooted with laughter when I told of my encounter with Mr Myers........I suppose it is funny.
We had sat for an hour or so before heading down to get the boat back to Citywalk......queue for boat was quite long but it was soon there. The weather was glorious and maybe even a bit too hot for this time of evening......but I wasn`t going to complain after last night.
We got off boat and planned to eat in Nascar which over the last few years has become a real favorite at Citywalk, but they were closed for a private event.......so after a quick conflab we decide on Margaritaville......walk back and wonder how long we`ll have to wait........as we are 3 people we are seated straight away......so into the restaurant and it is busy but it`s always a lovely place to eat. Now we had an idea what we were going to have in Nascar.....now we had to study the menu again.
Kyle has chicken and fries, I had bbq cheeseburger with no cheese and sweet potato fries and Tom has the ranch burger with fries
Food and service was excellent as always, there is such a great atmosphere in this restaurant, Jimmy Buffet helps of course but it`s just a fun place and food never disappoints. We don`t have dessert as we just don`t have room. I forget what I had to drink but it was some kind of cocktail and very nice it was too......Tom had a beer and Kyle had his usual V Daiquiri. It was a lovely meal but no we were heading to Horror nights and hopefully a dryer one.
More to come.........
