The sun has got his hat on - well kind of!!

Yes after some parts of the district have had over 20" of water in 4 days we have finally had a day without rain until about an hour ago!! In fact it was dull when we left this morning so no sun cream applied and I have some nice red patches from waiting for the parade when I got home!!!!

We have had a good day today. We started off heading to hollywood studios and rode on Midway mania again. Then we caught the boat to the swan and dolphin hotels where we walked ourselves to fantasia miniture golf where we had 18 holes of fun.

Russ managed to loose his ball in the water and was a little dangerous at times!!! We both got a whole in one on the same hole and I just missed out on another but I still managed to finish the course on Par (really not sure how!!!!) Russ was 5 over!

After a brief walk around the broadwalk we got on the boat to head to EPCOT for lunch at the lotus blossom Cafe in China - this is another of our favourites in Epcot and we had a lovely lunch there.
After this we headed on the monorail to Magic Kingdom so we could watch the parade which we loved! We also had the biggest float (or ice-cream soda) you have ever seen!! It was made with Mr Whippy style icecream and the ice cream doubled the cup in size - no pictures as it was a little messy!!!!
We had to get a few supplies tonight so decided to have tea in the counter service restaurant here which is the first time we have done that. If I had realised it was so good I would have done it sooner. Each night they have a special evening meal and thursday is pork tenderloin, mash potato and corn on the cob - it was lovely. The pork was melt in the mouth cooked.
We finally walked to Downtown Disney to walk off dinner and look in the shops and then it started to rain so we came back via goofy's candy store to pick up dipped marshmallows and pick and mix. The marshmallows are in the fridge to have on our special day tomorrow :D
Need to get to bed now as we have and early start tomorrow on a behind the scenes safari tour at Animal Kingdom.
