The Cast

Me: 52. Been to Disney about 10 times now, that tight I only breathe in. Slightly OCD.
AL: 52 years my OH, Driver and pathfinder

Meemee:75 years, me mother. Ailments too numerous to mention. Has an ECV we call it the COC (Chariot of Carnage)

Our Willy: 50 years , My brother. First time to Florida is an interesting shape. (Humpty Dumpty springs to mind)
Jilly: 50 years . Willy's OH, First time to Florida has rheumatoid athritus doesnt let it get her down.

Well according to "THE PLAN" today we are having a theme park free day and are going to Celebration and Boggy Creek.
Meemee knew she would need a day off and had already chose this day as one of them.
She has been to Celebration before.
Plus she has seen a picture of the airboats and knows she has "no chance of getting her leg over".
AL was last up today so our Willy took the opportunity to plant his spider on the fence.
Its a big black hairy thing about a foot in diameter. (His spider)
You cant really miss it! .
AL never even saw it.!
I make a note to get him to Spec savers.
Then I wonder if they have a branch in Orlando.
Problem is, AL is doing most of the driving.
I am now a bit worried that we are bombing down the I 4 with the equivalent of Mr Magoo at the wheel.
Our Willy and Jilly went to Walmart this morning (cleverly disguised as responsible adults).
Apparently I take too long! .
I'm not bothered because its day 6 and Clint hasn't had a day off yet so he wont be there today.
They will probably get Baxter and he's a miserable g** and never sings.
(If you are not really following this you need to read my other days which I have done in separate threads cos I am a bit thick).
Anyway I made a list and pinned it to Willy's shirt. (Cos he's even thicker)
I am really fussy about the bread. He had better not get it wrong.
Has anyone else noticed how most of the bread has a slight sweet taste to it?
If like me you don't like that sweet taste.
For toast buy Walmart value sandwhich bread.
For nice bread buy Italian.
He managed and bought a mystery bag for dinner tonight.
Me and AL knocked up a full works breakfast and Meemee retired to her coffin.
Before we left.
For Meemees safety.
We put the kids net back round the pool
Made her a mid afternoon snack.
Left chilled juice and water in the fridge.
HID THE BRANDY

Last year when we went to Celebration we saw 3 gators.
Two of them were at the bus stop!
They weren't waiting for a bus or owt they were just laying there in the sun.
I had told Willy and Jilly all about this so I was desparately hoping we would see some today.
We arrived at Celebration it was boiling hot so we sat for a few moments to admire the circular fountain.
Now this fountain.
Stops for 10 seconds,
Then the shoots circling shoot up for 10 seconds.
Then it stops for 10 seconds.
Then the shoots circling shoot up for 10 seconds only this time 4 more jets start and then rain into the center.
Having only seen the first two sequences Jilly decided what a good idea to stand in the middle of the circle and cool off.
Problem with Jilly is.
Her particular gene pool just didn't have a life guard.
Consequently she was born without that "Its not a good idea to do that" gene.
Of course when the 3rd sequence started she couldn't get back out.
She just stood there screaming as all this water rained in on her.
Well anyone who has been to Celebration will know it is just perfect.
It is so perfect it is probably twinned with Stepford.
Within about 5 seconds the sheriff appeared.
He looked really official radio in hand gun to the side "Women dont scream in his town".
I managed to pacify him and explained there was no need to call in SWAT.
It was simply another tourist who had kept an open mind and her brains had fell out.
Have to admit though I was pretty impressed.
Where I live you could call the the cops and then dial for a chicken Bhuna and I'll guarantee yer the Bhuna will arrive first.

We walked round the lake slowly so Jilly could dry off and isn't it just typical we never saw one gator.
We stopped at an Irish bar for a drink I was gutted to see that the old Sherlock holmes cafe had gone.
The Irish bar, proprietors, tea and cakes were just as nice though and I really hope they can sustain the business.
We saw some people milling around the lake,
Could it be?
Yes we saw a gator.
It was only about two foot long but it had caught a fish and was on the grass eating it.
(I do have some photos of Jilly in the "shower" and the gator but I can't see a bloody paper clip! ) .
Happy that we had now seen a gator not in captivity we headed off for Boggy Creek.

Now I have become slightly dubious about this place.

I have never seen a gator on that lake.

In the waiting area there are loads of baby alligators.

We got on the boat and the guide asked if anybody had taken the tour before.
We didn't bother saying yes as I don't draw attention to meself.
Me fat backside does that for me.
Trouble is I've got that MFI disease you know the one where yer chest drops into yer drawers.
Even Gok Wan would have a problem making me look good.
He took us to exactly the same place as he did the other two times we took the trip.
Showed us some baby alligators same as before.
Me thinks planted.
Still on the plus side 25 dollars each, 40 minutes on the lake.
It was really cool, there was other wildlife.
The info was good so we weren't cheated.
I never stay for the after talk, taping some poor gators mouth up and have a photo done.
NO WAY.
Go to Celebration stand at the bus stop get one for free.
We came away from Boggy Creek and took Jilly and Willy on a tour of all the villas that we had stayed in and I am sure they were fascinated.
That will pay them back for hi jacking my trip to Walmart.
WE made our way back, Meemee was in low spirits (She couldn't find the brandy)
Our Willy slapped some steaks on the BBQ we made roasties and veg.
Tomorrow IOA
Mr Magoo still hasn't noticed the spider!
