Let's do it all again - Day 2 - Wednesday 12th April 2017
Wednesday 12th April 2017 - SeaWorld, Walmart & BJ's Brewhouse
Awake a couple of times in the night, got up about 6.30am, Julia, Will and little Alex were also up. Julia had gone to make some tea but noticed there was no milk in the fridge, now, we definitely bought some last night, but I double checked the fridge and it definitely wasn’t in there! We checked all the cupboards too just in case it got put somewhere else! haha! But nope, no milk, so no tea yet! When Dad (or was it Wayne, I don’t remember! well, one of them anyway) came downstairs we said there’s no milk, he assured us we bought some, I said maybe a bag got left in the car, so he went and checked, and yep, there was a bag in the car! It was ok though, ok for tea anyway! I inflated the flingo, and William thought he'd try it out inside! I also inflated the drink holders! Flingo in the pool Alex by the pool My faves! Chilled out for a bit while everyone pottered about, unpacked and got ready for the day, my brother face timed us. I don’t know why he does it to himself, he was on his lunch break from work, and he was very sad and jealous of us by the end of the call! ha! he's been quite a few times so he knows what he’s missing! We showed him round the villa and pool area, and passed him round so he could say hi to everyone! Then off he went back to work, and we all got ready for SeaWorld. Left for SeaWorld at 10.50 Car selfies! Arrived 11.15, parked in conservation. Massive queues today! We had to get tickets as we bought our tickets from Thomson, so we had tickets to change for our real tickets. Went to zone A. The queue went on for ages! We all queued as we didn’t know if they’d want to see all of us, but they didn’t, just me with my ID. Al I had to do was write the names of everyone in the group, then they issued the tickets. Got tickets and into park by 12.25pm Alex gave Wayne a Spanish map again but he gave it straight to William! So our joke didn't work as well as it did last time! SeaWorld! Got our SeaWorld bottles with $5.99 refills for the day. Definitely works well for us, especially with the amount of fizz the Alex’s like to drink out there! We LOVE the coke freestyle machines! diet coke with lime is my personal favourite. But we tried all sorts of combinations this trip! We checked the Manta wait time, it was 45 minutes so we gave it a miss for now as the dolphin show was at 1.30pm Alex and I got some food, hot dog and fries, while the others looked in the shop. Headed to dolphin show, it was different to the last time we saw it. William loved it. After the show big Alex, little Alex, Wayne and I left the others and arranged to meet at the shamu stadium at 3.15. It made sense for us to go our separate way for a while, as then they could do stuff with Will and not have to just sit and wait for us on the rides. We went on manta, it said 45 minute wait but more like 10, until it broke! We had to change platforms which annoyingly meant we were at the back! Little Alex loved it, it was the first time h’d been on it, as last trip he was too short. He was full of it after, i love that kid’s enthusiasm, love him. Went to maku next, said 45 minute wait but wasn't that long. We all really enjoyed the ride, although not sure Wayne did! haha! My bum definitely left the seat a few times! Good fun though. Met Dad outside the stadium, the others were sat inside already. Not sure Will loved this show as much as the dolphin show. After shamu we went to the kids area so William could do some rides. His first one being the seven seas railway with little Alex. Then the shamu express. Julia bought the picture as she'd already got one of little Alex and Wayne, it was pretty much the same picture, they look so similar. Went to see what the wait for kraken was, only 10 mins, so on we went. It wasn't even a wait, it was a walk on. Again, this was the first time little Alex was able to ride this, and he loved it! He was so excited after! Met others then left the park at 6.20pm Wayne etc went off for food and Walmart. We went back to the villa, booked a cab and got ready to go out. We went to BJ Brewhouse at the loop. $28 round trip. Sat at bar, Dad and Alex tried some of the draft beers, mum had a couple of ciders and I had a few cocktails. We watched the sport on the huge screens and chatted. Ordered some food, Dad had a pizza, mum had steak. Alex has ribs I had Parmesan crusted chicken All really good. The total bill came to just under $160 They called our cab for us. Home at 10.05pm Everyone else in bed. So off we went too. Great first day! Edited at 08:43 PM. |

A good first day. The villa looks lovely. Where is the loop? Haven't been to the Orlando area for a few years so probably lots of new stuff.
