Photobucket is back up and running so here we go...
Day 7-Monday 3rd April After last night we had a leisurely start and ate the last of the Poptarts We had plans to go to Disney Springs so headed there at 11am and wandered. Snacks We ended up at Cooke's Hole in the wall bar where Arron got a pint of 'Fresh as Helles' beer. This was around $8 and it was actually really nice(I even tried it!) Then Arron suggested I use the Sprinkles ATM. It was very exciting to be honest. Too much choice though, I paid $5.50ish and got the black and white cupcake. I was really impressed as the cake was soft and delicious. Using the ATM does make you concerned the cake could be dry and old but it wasn't We went to the 12pm screening of Get Out. Arron got a beer. I had a large blue raspberry Icee and Sour Patch kids but didn't get a photo The film was also really good along with our snacks! Earl of Sandwich We had planned to have lunch here all along, but my god do you forget how chaotic this place is. We went up and ordered and I waited for the food while Arron got the tall chairs round the corner. The business and confusion while waiting for food is the worst! I got the Holiday turkey on white bread. And yummy it was too. A little too much mayo but the rest of it was so dense and christmassy. Arron had the Italian with double meat on wheat bread and a Bud. He liked it alot, so much meat in one sandwich! This meal was $23 altogether. We then did some shopping around Art of Disney and World of Disney before heading over to get a drink. Jock Lindsey's It was much better weather than last year so we sat on the boat. I had the Diving Bell. Which is watermelon with a citrus foam and super refreshing. Arron ordered the beer flight. This had the Fresh as Helles again and 2 others. I think the 7% wasn't quite to Arron's taste. He got a Bud light after. We left $25 including tip and headed out. Snacks I have no photo but we went to Candy Cauldron and I got a rice krispie treat with milk and white chocolate. It was really good. We grabbed some milk from Walgreens and settled in for the evening.

Day 8-Tuesday 4th April Today we were up at 7:20 and onto the shuttle at 8:30. We decided to eat first thing after getting into Universal. San Francisco candy factory Arron had the peanut butter cup cookie and I chose the banana nut muffin. We got these and a bottle of water for $8.60. I think we were undercharged. My muffin was nice and not too sickly for this time of day! We rode The Mummy, MIB and ET and went to the T2 show. It was starting to get busy now so we decided to go to get lunch now...just before 12pm. Springfield So we queued in Springfield, the main queue wasn't too long but then we split off as Arron gets a burger and me chicken. So i'm always done first! I got the chicken waffle sandwich and a Buzz cola. The Buzz cola was cherry flavoured and a really weird colour, very artificially red and i'm not sure I liked it. The guy who served me has served me food in there everytime we have visited. Crazy. The food is always tasty and I love tater tots. Arron got a Krustyburger and Duff. He always enjoys this and it is definitely the right amount of food, unlike the Clogger. I love how they manage tables in here, as the staff will not let you sit down unless you have food, so no table hoggers. Disney should do this too. We paid about $35 for all of this and headed for the Hogwarts express. Snack After riding a few things we grabbed a beer and a churro before queuing for Jurassic park. Unfortunately the weather took a turn so all outdoor rides were closed just in case So we popped to get Dippin Dots and a beer. This was about $15 for both I imagine. After hanging around in the arcade it started raining so we headed to Citywalk. We tried all the bars and they were full. So we finally got to Shoreline bar which is outside with a cover. We thought we might be stuck there for a while so Arron got a. And I had a cocktail, it was a Caribbean Quench. Arron got another Bud and we paid $35. From here we grabbed our hotel shuttle and were back by 5pm. Dinner While waiting for our bus to Smackdown in the Zebra bar I ordered a small ham and pineapple pizza, and Arron got a Bud. Pizza looked similar to the previous one. This was $9.50 altogether, what a bargain. Arron waited until we were at the Amway center and he grabbed a Cuban sandwich with plantain chips. Again a meat loaded sandwich. I liked the chips. This was another $9.50 Arron grabbed a couple of beers throughout the show. And here is our view. Really excellent view and very exciting! We had to catch our bus straight after the main show so we got into the room around 11pm and started to pack.

Hey guys, final update below!
Day 9-Wednesday 5th April Today we were up early at 7am as we needed to finish packing etc. We left our bags and checked out then got the 8:30 shuttle to Universal for the last time. We rode Hulk, Spiderman, Kong and Dragon challenge(both sides) before wandering to grab a snack. Snack In Seuss landing we got a brownie. It was really dense but we shared it so it was nice and not too much! This was around $5. It was quite warm so Arron grabbed a beer. And I won MIB After my victory we grabbed me a blue raspberry/lemon Icee and Arron a Miller light. These were nice and resfreshing as we walked around. We did some shopping before hopping in an Uber at 1:30ish. Miller's As is tradition we ended our trip in Millers. We got a raspberry tea and a Miller light(3 were consumed). Arron started with his Mount st Helen's zingers. He loved them and I still feel they are really great value for money. The service was shockingly bad today, I think our server was new but it was just so difficult. He vanished after delivering our drinks and we couldn't find him. So ordering actually was excruciatingly slow. Everyone else in his section looked equally frustrated. For mains Arron had the combo fajitas and I got the Asian chicken. My meal was tasty and I had mixed squash as my side which was different and fresh. Arron had plenty of food and nice and fresh again. I wanted dessert, ordered the Captain Jack's buried treasure cake. So good. We paid $60 with tip(only gave 10% roughly). We loitered at the airport and popped into the Main Event bar for a drink. Got Arron a Bud and a Corona and I had the Islander. Flight food I got the orange juice and Arron prosecco. Here is dinner... It is the main, a mixed salad, cheese and crackers and a Macadamia, coconut tart. Arron had chicken Achiote. Mexican style and Arron ate it all. And I chose the beef Daube. This was good apart from they served a weird thick noodle with it rather than potatoes. The tart was so sweet and just not nice I had a hot chocolate an hour or so later, but that was it until breakfast. This was an apricot pastry and the other things you can see! It was alright but nothing amazing. I tried to sleep on the flight, but we did experience an amazing storm as we were flight over the USA. This final picture was out lovely salad when we got home. Final notes Thanks for reading along, we haven't got any holiday plans currently. This trip is sill being paid off as it was relatively last minute! But we are looking at New York and San Francisco next year and possibly Florida the year after that!
