There's 104 days of summer vacation - Day 11 outlets & Epcot

[Alison]

Not so many photos today!

We decided to take a trip to the outlets today. Bev had given me advice on where to try for some clothes! Had Eggo pancakes and bacon for breakfast and then drove to Premium Outlets. We are not particularly big shoppers so the boys pottered around the Disney store (just to make a change!) and I popped into the Lane Bryant outlet. Unfortunately they didn’t have any work trousers in my size but I did manage to get a couple of pairs of jeans and some PJs so that was good. Then went to Aero for Stephen and got some tshirts. Paying was a nightmare here as, one by one, the tills lost connection and no one could use credit cards. Luckily we had enough cash and got away lightly, only having to queue for 20 minutes!

Couldn’t persuade anyone to shop for trainers or anything so we went to the food court and Stephen had a smoothie and we shared the ubiquitous orange chicken before heading home for a rest – it was really hot again and we were shattered after last night.

Late afternoon, we headed to Epcot to finish off all the little bits we wanted to do and have something to eat.

and then on to Turtle Talk. Stephen wouldn’t sit on the floor and ask a question this year, though – oh, well – he had his turn last year!

Stephen was really keen to see Captain EO so off we went, first warning him that it was very much ‘of its time’. I remember seeing this back in the 80s and being quite disappointed, as we had loved the previous show they had shown in the Imagination pavilion! Nigel had also seen it in Disneyland Paris many years ago. It was OK – not great. I think Stephen was a bit disappointed.

We couldn’t go to the Imagination pavilion without riding Figment just one more time and singing along!

Then headed over to World Showcase to have a few snacks. Stopped off in England for some chips and a pint (!)

and then headed into France where we did the film – we do like this. Then onto la Boulangerie for cakes and treats! Very nice as always!

Our final stop today was Morocco where Nigel had a lamb shwarma platter and S nipped off to Japan to buy his friend some random Pokemon thing. (Bad mother – I should know better!)

Caught the boat back across the lake and then finished off with Spaceship Earth for one final time.
