And we've arrived in Orlando.
Unanimously we voted to go to the Magic Kingdom first (mostly because we love the Buzz Lightyear ride). We sent our RDP (Rapid deployment person - Jack) to get Fastpasses for Space Mountain so that we could go on the really scary Transit Ride. Here is Ems being really scared.
Here we are looking the wrong way while driving round the Racetrack:
It was really hot and we were willing to try anything which promised a breeze. The Carousel looked promising - Richard chose the smallest horse, I think his feet were dragging along the ground!
Space Mountain was better than I remember it - a real bone rattler of a roller coaster in the dark. And we went to try out the new Ariel ride. Ems and I sat nicely in a clamshell listening to the story.
Hot and tired, we headed off back to the pool to cool down.
We went for dinner at the Texas Road House which had good reviews. It was a mostly steak menu but with a bucket of unshelled peanuts on the table which you could eat and throw the shells on the floor., an alternative to sawdust. Our server, Missy, was very enthusiastic returning every few minutes to shout at us and tell us that she was just checking we were ok; we were close to asking her to pull up a chair. Every now and again the staff would burst into a line dance just in front of our table and whoop and holler - I'm sure the restaurants in Texas can't really be like this.
