Awake at 5.30 am, an hour later than yesterday, there’s hope yet.

This morning we headed to the very nutritious Dunkin Donuts for breakfast. I’m fully aware that donuts and coffee for breakfast is a treat and not the ‘healthy option’, unfortunately Dunkin Donuts don’t agree, their tagline is ‘America runs on Dunkin’. I’m not sure anyone runs anywhere after going to ‘Dunkin’ which is why we’ll drive thru when we go back for some Baskin Robbins or one of the uber calorific Snickers shakes.
Epcot was our intro to …

The first of three videos I have for you this weekend, yes, I am like the person that invites you to watch their holiday slideshow Don’t be falling asleep now….or sneaking away. In this clip you see Tinkerbell flying through the air and a short bit of the firework display, unfortunately the Cinderella Castle is obscured by some trees.

The first time I went to Disney World I was seventeen, back in the year 2000! The ‘magic’ of the Magic Kingdom passed me by somewhat, maybe you need to be a parent or a young child…because this time it really hit me, and I absolutely cannot wait to experience it all with Erin.
The Buzz Lightyear attraction was our first stop which was very similar to the Toy Story ride in Hollywood Studios, but not as good.
On our way towards some other attractions we ran into the …

The spa at the five star Grand Floridian resort.

Wedding carriage complete with wigged horsemen.

The Disney 7 on the beach in front of the wedding chapel.

Lunch at the Grand Floridian, strawberries, feta, leaves, strawberry vinaigrette and roast cashews.

The Tower of Terror behind us we headed for something to eat and a stiff drink. The Hollywood Brown Derby was our destination and I don’t think I’ve ever been quite so happy to see a strawberry daquiri.
The food, once again, was amazing. I had pork tenderloin, spaetzl (which I’d seen being made on Saturday Kitchen a while back, very tasty), red onion chutney and cider jus.
We weren’t able to sit too long as we had VIP seats for the American Idol Experience! …

When I received my itenerary a week or so before I flew out I was kind of worried about being the only one who didn’t want to do the rollercoasters, or my nemesis, the Tower of Terror.
The first ride Sarah decided to take us on was the Aerosmith Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster (one of my ‘don’t think I can do that’ ones). We hovered outside as we established who was prepared to give it a shot, before my brain was in gear I’d already agreed and we …

After our character breakfast it was time to board the bloggerbus (as it’s been fondly named by English Mum, I think).
Disney World has two water parks Typhoon Lagoon and Blizzard Beach. The last time we were there we only did Blizzard Beach so it was nice to have the little tour of Typhoon Lagoon to get the full picture before our own holiday.
The two parks are pretty equal in terms of size and how busy they get and they both have rides and areas to …

You’ve heard of the Bibbity Bobbity Boutique, okay maybe not, it’s a cool shop where little girls can be transformed into princesses by fairy godmothers, very sweet. There is one boutique at the back of the Disney shop in Downtown and another inside the cinderella castle, don’t get too excited though, that one has a 6-month waiting list!
The deal used to be that boys could get their hair coloured, gelled and have bits stuck in it, which is okay I suppose but a bit second rate to the girls …

After approximately two hours sleep it was time to meet in the lobby for breakfast. We headed for the Cape May restaurant which is located inside the Beach Club resort.
The breakfast is an all you can eat buffet which includes; bacon, sausages, asparagus, potatoes, fresh fruit, pastries, Mickey Mouse waffles, fruit cobblers, yoghurts, cereals and dried fruits… and probably much more which I didn’t get to see.

As well as all the lovely food there were some surprise visitors, Minnie Mouse , Goofy and Donald Duck all rocked up for …
