Bel13ve- Day Twelve- a day of rest( ish)

Previously on Bel13ve ( or ...and Bruce came too) Day 11

If reading for the first time and want to read more please read from the very start -Index here

DAY 12 -August 7th 2013.

Amid all the days of holidaying this possibly could be the shortest in Trip Reporting.

We woke at 10

As this was the first day of the holiday we had absolutely nothing planned park wise and we had no big hair dryer waking us up at a silly time in the morning ( see Clearwater days!).
We had the first opportunity to have a lie in and we did!
We then made the huge step for the family and stepped at least 20 steps into the pool.




This Villa at Sunset Lakes was where we stayed last year- brilliant location and a super villa to enjoy a Disney holiday.






Have lots of Villa pics - but would not like to advertise a property on The Dibb that was not advertised on here.

We swam , we updated notes, plans and after lunch we phoned home to contact Grandma and Grandad- the disadvantage of early park mornings is that you do struggle to get a phone call in of an afternoon back to the UK.

Once done, we got in the car and drove to Premium Mall at the top of I drive -once Bells to Prime to now Premium.
We browsed, bought a few bits and once again bumped into fellow dibber and photopass sharer Joanna23 with her fab family- great minds think alike

The Disney outlet store , from which we have found bargains in the past, saw the boys buy some Cars toys for $11 from original price of $35. We did not buy much else but simply stored prices in the mind as to how much a bargain we could actually go home with.

Shopping does not make for good pictures and as a result the camera gets left in the Villa
Once shopped , we headed to Applebees near Orange lake for a fab meal just $48 inc tip.

At which point we popped into the Publix next door as we had to replace the shampoo, conditioner and shower wash that we had left in the shower at SSR ( :angry
We all went back for a swim and an early night.


We were nearly at the stage when you usually pack up your cases and head home, we were simply on the first day when we actually felt it was a day to simply do nothing - with a lot more still to come

Know it does not make for exciting reading - but it was a day we all needed and a day that would allow for a battery recharge and then to go again.
Thanks for reading

Nice read. My son got a fue Star Wars toy bargains in the disney outlet last time, so he's been saving all his pocket money to buy more this time!
I've heard a lot about Applebee's on here but never eaten there, may have to give it a try.

Sounds like a lovely and well deserved relaxing day.

I'm really hoping for some Disney bargains next time we go, we've always gone just after they've had a sale on and there's not been much left!

Thanks for day 12 walt4it

Nothing wrong with a big fat chilled out one!

A chance to fill the reserves and "go again"
