My verdict on the cookies yes they’re nice very thick & full of choc chips but I prefer a Num Num 🙈
Dave didn’t he loved his pistachio & toffee one $21 for 2 & a Vanilla cold brew, that was gorgeous

After this went to Riverside on the boat need to save up for our 60th so we can come again so peaceful & tranquil 👌


Back for Polite Pig about 2pm, pulled pork burger for Dave & smoked turkey for me very nice lots of flavours going on shared waffle fries Dave had a root beer 🤢



Killed some time in & out of the shops rooftop bar at Coke shop, where I was laughing as the boy asked how many pics we wanted, Grumpy replied until you get a good one


He cracked a smile for Cinderella ❤️

Dave got shirt in Uniglo, it was a relief with the aircon very warm & sticky

Arrived at MK about 3.30 where I had a nasty headache so took paracetamol thankfully all ok I think it was the worry about whether it would rain etc 🙈🙄

Got the ferry over & waited 10 mins to get in



Got our bags & headed off for the rides, HM pirates BTM Peter Pan & SW all done before 7, wait time 25-30 apart from SW was walk on
Went to Pinocchio Haus pizza was ok filled a spot $21


I saw a queue after this thought it was for the characters no it was the trick or treat 😳😳obviously it was 7pm by then
Wanted my special red velvet candle at Sleepy Hollow but again huge queue & wanted a good spot for parade so we headed to Country Bear Jamboree great spot there by 7.30 for 8.15 parade



I loved the parade especially as I miss the night time parade at MK they should definitely bring something back
We headed for Tirana’s after this 30 mins wait & then our first trick or treat stop next door, Golden Oak outpost for my one & only snack Grumpy didn’t help me out either but it was lovely a chocolate tart & inside was runny caramel sauce it was FAB


We did a few more sweet stops probably 6 in all as the lines were shorter
Fireworks were amazing just started raining beforehand so ponchos went on




we did Ariel after & then left
I’ll update stash on sweets later, we both had a pack of skittles on the monorail
All in all a great night £210 for the tickets I know it’s pricier in October lots of young kids there too, like 5 months old
I don’t think I would
Dave probably regrets wearing his Grumpy shirt as he had loads of comments 🙈but he played his role very well
Off to Keke’s in a min first time for us but a DIBB favourite then Celebration & Florida Mall & maybe Chillis
Thanks for reading
Your Gideon’s looked so amazing! And the chocolate tart 🤤

It was very sweet even for me don’t know if I’d choose it again
We might go on our last day instead of Denny’s
We had shared 2 meals & a good price too I thought, very busy in restaurant full of Americans







Off to celebration in a min just letting breakfast go down before we squeeeze in ice creams
This looks absolutely divine! Keke’s was on my list but we never made it. I’m definitely going to go in Feb!

Dave had 2 beers very unusual for him

I had my go to meal chicken fajitas where I think I had a whole chicken 😬so tasty with rice & peppers etc
Dave had Smokehouse combo ribs, chicken, corn & fries

Great value for the mains $20 & $25 always good meal here

We were stuffed 🤭🤭🤭
Walked back had a little rest then picked up coffee at Dunkin & had the rest of our cookies while lying on the bed 🤣

They are so rich & thick I can’t finish it & Dave is complaining now saying
“NO MORE FOOD “
Well at least until breakfast tomorrow

We were off to Mount Dora in the morning where we’ve got a boat ride booked it’s for 10am but we’ll get there early, so I think a quick Dunkin first, that’s if Dave is eating by then

Me & Dave like to be early for everything as it beats being worried if you’re stuck in traffic so yes we are those people that get to the airport 4 hours early
Thanks for all the kind comments
Wow they do not look like nachos but I wouldn’t refuse them! They look super cheesy! Never been to Chilli’s I think you have sold this to me!

Decided to try Swirls on the water Dave looked at this one, but in the end just got pistachio in a cup & I had Pineapple cone, I liked mine Dave or Grumpy wasn’t sure, said it wasn’t the best & is it meant to be ice cream or sorbet as it tasted a mix of both 🤷I told him we’ve had Dole Whip before at Epcot he couldn’t remember





Just had our first US Starbucks before we probably have Shake Shack 😋


Fingers crossed I’ll ok on the flight, night ones are the worst for me 😭😬😳while Dave sleeps I try to stay awake 🙈
Anyway I’ll update sometime tomorrow with the final weigh in
Thank you all for such lovely comments, I know it’s not the most in depth report but it’s short & sweet like me 🙈❤️
Just to let you all know we’ve bought this T-shirt just incase we need it
I’ve loved your report! Thanks for sharing your yummy food!

Side note, what size is that T-shirt, I’ve never seen anything like it 😂

Bit late but have just read your report, thanks for sharing it made for a great read! Have added Mount Dora to my list for next years visit
I occasionally feel/ get sick on night flights so always take kwells with me, I find they do help and kick in quickly
