We had a FP for Philharmagic ( as its another thing we had never done) but it was saying it was closed and there was a wait till our final FP , we went over to Village Haus for a drink
I had this frozen lemonade slushy – with cream on it – have to say, I didn’t like it all – cream on lemonade is weird and the slushy was too sharp – apparently it was better if you swirled it up – but I gave it to Andy to finish http://i819.photobucket.com/albums/z...ps75eec241.jpg He was busy with more shameless selfies http://i819.photobucket.com/albums/z...ps94c0afeb.jpg It looked as if Philharmagic was now open so we walked round , trying our hand at the sword in the stone – bit no luck – although 10 minutes later someone did manage it . boo :( http://i819.photobucket.com/albums/z...pseae8ffe4.jpg It was definitely getting busier http://i819.photobucket.com/albums/z...ps013e6f97.jpg We are on Philharmagic at 1115 – it was ok , fun but not something I would wait ages for. Andy was unimpressed with it :nonono: From here , it was onto our last FP which was another trip on Mine Train – which we really enjoyed – http://i819.photobucket.com/albums/z...ps682367fd.jpg It was now lovely and hot, but busy and we had done all we wanted to do – a nice leisurely morning and I have to say it made me like MK in a way I have never done before – just ambling about taking in the details, it was lovely. :D http://i819.photobucket.com/albums/z...ps9ef58d45.jpg http://i819.photobucket.com/albums/z...ps9aa0d41f.jpg We caught the end of the Jolly Holiday Tram act as we left http://i819.photobucket.com/albums/z...psed10ae3b.jpg http://i819.photobucket.com/albums/z...ps7a293eaa.jpg http://i819.photobucket.com/albums/z...ps324158a5.jpg http://i819.photobucket.com/albums/z...ps255810d8.jpg And these two Characters were hilarious :d: http://i819.photobucket.com/albums/z...ps18b1ccfa.jpg http://i819.photobucket.com/albums/z...ps84595853.jpg Time to leave http://i819.photobucket.com/albums/z...ps486d9080.jpg http://i819.photobucket.com/albums/z...ps2f37b92f.jpg http://i819.photobucket.com/albums/z...ps2b346613.jpg But not before some more bag firkling …..;) http://i819.photobucket.com/albums/z...psf0022da2.jpg So long Walt x :wavey: http://i819.photobucket.com/albums/z...ps72f22611.jpg We sneaked in here – assume this must be for a Santa Meet and Greet ? http://i819.photobucket.com/albums/z...psf5d496f6.jpg http://i819.photobucket.com/albums/z...ps91e7a50c.jpg Some random with a coffee in his hand sneaking in here:erm: http://i819.photobucket.com/albums/z...psab5afad6.jpg We decide to get the ferry back – just missing one , then one comes in and is promptly taken out of service so not wanting to wait anymore we trog back and take the monorail at 1230. http://i819.photobucket.com/albums/z...psab796fa6.jpg Of course, no day would be complete without some shopping :nonono: so a quick trip to the Outlets was in order , plus we wanted a light lunch a we knew we couldn’t last until our dinner at V&A later this evening . So its quick nip to the Vineland Outlets and straight to the foodcourt for a ChinaMax lunch I had the orange chicken and sesame one - with the fried rice I really enjoyed it ! http://i819.photobucket.com/albums/z...ps53858c80.jpg Andy had similar but I think he had swopped the orange chicken for a beef dish - hence no pic and with one large soda between us - it came to just under $20 We finished lunch about 1.30 and then had an hour or so mooching the stores where more bargains were purchased http://i819.photobucket.com/albums/z...psb2f958e0.jpg These bags in Armani were $30 each but on a deal so I got the two for $50. I gave the blue one to my best friend for Christmas , she was thrilled and secretly I really wanted to keep both ! http://i819.photobucket.com/albums/z...ps262fb949.jpg As readers of previous trippies will know, Andy is somewhat impoverished in the trainer department :omg: http://i819.photobucket.com/albums/z...pse3ee6684.jpg So of course some new pairs needed to be purchased;) http://i819.photobucket.com/albums/z...ps436ac6b0.jpg These were all on a buy one, get one half price deal so $45 for one lot ( $30 each normal price) and another lot that were $24 for two pairs ( $both pairs on a reduced price of $16 each). I think the Stan Smith style ones were normal price of $40 . Still ridiculously cheap Lol, he actually sold about 15 pairs of trainers ( impulse buys, can you believe that ?) before we came away . He really is a human millipede, I own two pairs of trainers so I find this footwear thing quite amusing , but then as Andy would say, I have more handbags than I can carry at any one time ….. I had by now refused to go into Nike or Adidas any more and opted to bag mind from here on – the occasional sit down was quite welcome So they were today’s bargains – I meant to post yesterday’s purchases from Walmart but forgot them = here they are : These were 99c each http://i819.photobucket.com/albums/z...ps2bdd1fc4.jpg http://i819.photobucket.com/albums/z...ps4ac17460.jpg I know, what a haul ! :( Actually we did buy some other things like the Kanka mouth ulcer stuff ( its amazing) and a few other over the counter pharm items that cost a fortune at home but overall we were very restrained Andy was dissuaded from purchasing the inflatable Santa that was the size of a small shed – he was taken with what a bargain it was – well , not really when it would need a case of its own on the way back plus another baggage fee ! He did try again on our second visit but no Santa came home. He’s watched Deck The Halls and National Lampoons Xmas Vacation too many times I think ….:omg: We were back at the Rosen Inn for around 3pm and spent some time packing up ready for our move to the Yacht Club and Portofino – this pretty much meant taking everything as it was all our wedding clothes, stuff for the photoshoot and clothes for cold and warm weather as it seemed we were due to get both in the next few days. Pretty much all we left was our bag of laundry and shopping purchases. We stored everything left in the wardrobe ready for our return in 4 days. ( as it turned out ,we came back in between to drop back the wedding stuff) . Coming up in Part 2 - our OMG taxi ride :omg: to the Grand Floridian and our OMG meal at Victoria and Alberts :tongue: Part 2 is HERE |
Before i even begin reading, have i lost the plot or is Day 5 missing? xx

Andy certainly likes his trainers!
|
Great day. Can't believe the amount of trainers Andy has. I am like you with Kipling bags though :blush:

What an amazingly relaxed morning at MK Amanda... this is how I see my future, post kids ;) It was so empty at the beginning of the day, and those Christmas decorations are so cute... I must see them in person one day, I must, I must!
Can't beat a bit of shopping again too... but MORE trainers :omg::omg::d: Looking forward to the next part. |
Love that trainer pic, i thought i had lots of shoes!
MK looks lovely, im the same as you, its never been my favourite park but i do enjoy looking around and taking in the atmosphere and details. That chinese food court food looks divine! Soooo looking forward to reading post two. Although V&A is food icould never appreciate enough to justify the cost, i LOVE reading people trippies about it. :) |
Laughing so very hard about Andy's (Catalogue Man/selfies rule) trainers and love that pic of them all!
MK is really lovely when it's quiet. Wel ree lucky to go in Feb last time and first thing each day was like that and it meant we could really appreciate all the little things (oh and a pretty much empty BTMR train almost to ourselves). I feel August is going to be a shock :erm::omg::confused2 A great half day. Can't wait to read about your OMG taxi ride :omg:;) Oh and I love that cute candy Christmas tree decoration, bargain! |
