In Between Days

Tuesday.

We had to walk into the village to get the bus because of the roadworks on and around Ringleas. 

Once in town we went on three tram up the hill to TKMAXX. Nothing that grabbed my fancy, which is a good thing as I really have no more room now. Even with the recent cull this year's purchases have filled every space up I created. Thats fine, as most things we have bought are year round dark decor pieces, and I'm happy with that. I am sure that they'll be other culls but for now I'm good. 

We met up with Sue and Pete at the Slug and Lettuce as usual and had lunch. Lovely to see them both. Pete's much better than last time, and Sue was doing well. 

After we left them we nipped to M&S to pick up something for tea and a few bits and bobs as apart from going out for a meal tomorrow we will stay in the rest of the week until work with the buses as they are. 

We caught the 33 home ( while its still running) as that drops us off at Woodview which isn't so far to walk. 

We had a phone call from Florida once we got home, which bought home how close it is to the holiday, checking up to see I still wanted the wheelchair from the 5th to the 19th of October. 

They'll deliver it to the hotel and leave it at bell services if the flights are delayed. I will obviously ring them if that's the case, just to let them know. Nice to know that we had confirmation and they are still processing my order. That will be a game changer for me, so instead of having to give up when my legs hurt I can carry on with Kev's help get round the parks and sit when I need to. 

That prompted us to draw up a flexible itinerary for the days we are there, not set in stone, but gives us chance to plan which park/parks will be our main hub if you like. At the moment Epcot looks like our base park. As Disney Adults/ Seniors it will offer the most for us, late night entertainment as in bands to sit and watch, lots of adult food and drinks as well as some of the best views and less construction walls. 

There's a lot of change happening at Magic Kingdom, with Constuction walls up while they drain and remove Rivers of America. Thunder Mountain is being refurbished, So it makes sense that apart from the MNSSHP nights we will spend less time there. 

I'm intrigued to see what Animal Kingdom has to offer as that park was just being built when we went last. So that will be our first full park day destination. 

There will be less rushing around trying to do everything in one go, as we have 14 days in one resort and tickets for everyday we can relax and do a bit at a time. Have pool days and resort hopping time to check out a few of the other places to stay. Much more civilised than when we were there in the past. Disney Adulting here we come. Photo is of Kev back in the day on the Backlot tour at MGM Studios. When we did 3 parks in 3 days, before heading to Sea World, Universal and Busch Gardens in Tampa... Oh for that energy now, lol...
