This morning we headed for a buffet breakfast, I was absolutely starving having been awake blogging since 4.30am so I had pancakes, bacon and maple syrup followed by scrambled eggs, potatoes and more bacon, plus two cups of coffee. Here’s a picture of Erin eating multi-coloured jelly for breakfast, this was after a bowl of rice crispies, melon and a pancake!

Afterwards we went for a long walk down International Drive, on the way back we stopped at the largest McDonalds for a drink, the upstairs has a soft play and an amusement arcade.

We got back and decided to get changed to go to the hotel pool, the news has been threatening record temperatures for this weekend, before we could leave the phone rang, at first I thought it might be the police to arrest us for toll booth evasion, but no, it was just reception letting us know that our ‘Princess’ and ‘Mary Poppins’ packages had arrived from Disney World. Sarah has been at it again this time we received a beach bag full of edible goodies and Erin ripped open her package of tinkerbell album, flashing tiara and princess pen before I could take a photo. Here’s one with her tiara on instead.

After all the excitement I managed to forget to put suncream on my chest and shoulders and am now slightly singed after our swim and sunbathe.

We couldn’t be bothered going far for lunch after our long walk this morning so we nipped next door to KFC where I had the best fast food meal I think I’ve ever had; Honey BBQ Boneless Wings with coleslaw and a ‘biscuit’ which is like a super soft and warm scone, it was amazing. I can see myself needing two seats on the way back or perhaps just one of those beds you get in upper class.

After all that food we headed back to the room, this afternoon’s temperatures are expected to be sky high, according to this website it’s currently 97.6 degrees.

This evening we’re planning to go and see some baby alligators and then we’re going to head to chili’s for dinner, I can’t wait any longer for a strawberry daquiri!

So the flight was fine, Erin was exceptional and loved both the take off and the landing (phew!). Security was a nightmare as always and we were stung for $70 to hire a car seat – you’ve been warned! The real fun began when we got to our car, which the Alamo representative insisted was way to small, it’s actually bigger than our car at home, Americans eh! This was Alex’ first time driving on the right, it was slightly (very) hairy as we tried to navigate our way to I-Drive whilst watching for maniac drivers cutting in on us and poor Alex just about veering into the next door lane, yeah, it was fun, not, and it got worse when we (he) went into the lane for ‘passes’ completely evading a 75 cent toll booth, we’re half expecting the bizzy’s to chap the door any minute, look I’m even spaking like a ‘crim’ now.

By the time we arrived to say we were frazzled was an understatement, a good meal of ribs, chips, salad and chicken wings and tortilla chips….and a multitude of other foodstuffs lifted our spirits.

Erin’s fast asleep, it’s 8.07pm and Alex and I are struggling to stay awake, looking forward to a day hanging about international drive and swimming in the hotel pool, did I mention it’s 31 degrees?
