Day 3 - Monday 19th April

Up late after a sleep in till 930am. We got ourselves ready for the day and headed out to breakfast, an interesting event as all we normally eat is toast and we could find everything but toast to eat.

We had decided to go to Blizzard Beach today. We were having great luck with the transport buses, we haven’t had to wait any longer than 5minutes so far.

It was overcast and about 22deg when we got to the water park, but we still braved it.
We started with some tube and toboggan rides, then had a relax in the lazy river that does a loop around the park. The sun broke through the clouds at this time, which was good, as it was starting to feel like a Sunday morning swim at Greensborough pool.

Back on the slides for a couple more goes, then a rest on the chairs near the beach.
By 1pm we had both had enough, and headed back to the resort. We stopped at the resort pool for a little rest and read some book.

At 3pm we felt ourselves ready for some more walking….so went off to Downtown Disney to check out the shops and restaurants on offer. Spanky had a great time in the Lego store, but Bubbles wouldn’t buy her the Massive Star Wars Death Star or the pirates flag ship.



It then started raining…and pouring! It went on for about 30min. After waiting in the rainforest cafĂ© gift shop, we decided to make a run for it. Bubbles found all the puddles leaving him with very wet shoes and socks, but just as we got to the next area with shops it stopped raining. Always the way.

After checking out all the shops and wandering around, we took a bus to the Contempary Resort, located near the Magic Kingdom.

We had a dinner booking at Chef Mickey’s at 730pm. As we where an hour early, we got on the monorail that runs through the hotel. We checked out the Polynesian and Grand Floridian resorts on the monorail loop.

Back at the Contempary resort, we checked in for dinner and were shortly seated. This dinner was a buffet dinner, with Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Goofy, and Pluto visiting tables for a ‘chat’ and a photo. The food was nice for a buffet, with both of us feeling very full at the end of it.

We walked over to the Magic Kingdom to catch the bus back to the Pop resort and were back at about 930pm, very tired and very full.

Distance walked today: approx 6km
