We’ve all arrived safely after a very easy flight and a lovely meal last night. The Grand Floridian Hotel is just lovely. All colonial looking and white. Huge. This morning we had our “character breakfast” at the all you can eat and more restaurant. There was the usual cooked breakfast, plus porridge with toppings (including Gummy Bears, M & M’s. chocolate sprinkles), the wonderful Mickey shaped waffles with maple syrup, fruit….you name it, you could have it.

We met Tigger and Winnie the Pooh and Alice and Mary Poppins and, and, and:-

But I couldn’t bounce with him because I was too full.

Then most of the journalists went off to Disney’s Animal Kingdom, whilst I decided to check out what was on offer for the adults who don’t want to go on all the rides.

It was AWFUL. There is just NOTHING to do. I lay about here, reading my book in the glorious sunshine:-

Wandered around the shop and walked along their beach to the Spa. Then because my back was sore after the flight I went and found a lovely man called Dale who pummeled my Greater Trocanter and Piriformis muscle (aka my bottom) underneath a towel for quite a long time until I felt MUCH better.

Now I’m off to preview the new Wild Africa Trek which I’m really looking forward to.

Well, somebody’s got to do it…..

    I can’t believe you didn’t go back on Expedition Everest, knowing how much you loved it last time. Am laughing just thinking about it.

    Great post! We recently found this about getting from MCO to the Grand Floridian: https://www.orlandosuperiortransportation.com/blog/transportation-from-mco-to-grand-floridian It made planning our airport transportation a lot easier.
