Wednesday - Shops

Day 6 is a little blurry as it was our 'day-off' and I seem to have failed to take notes. I know from my credit card bill though that it involved a lot of shopping. We breakfasted at an International House of Pancakes aka IHOP - I can't decide which name is cooler! We got delivered an absolute mountain of food although I can't say I was particularly overwhelmed by any of it.

The first and longest stop of the day was to Downtown Disney, a wonderful idea which involves putting all the Disney merchandise available in the parks in one tidy location which you don't have to pay to enter. We spent hours going in all the shops and walking around the area, all of which were colourfully decorated with characters. I could have spent a fortune here and almost did. The most dangerous shop was the art gallery and I would have spent a fortune if there hadn't been the extra consideration of how to get stuff home.

We had some monumental ice cream sodas at the soda fountain and lunched at McDonalds, ticking off another couple of American clichés. We drove down the road a couple of hundred meters where I spent another small fortune on dvds and computer games. I was saving money really! Bah. Next up were the outlet stores, which I wondered around in a bit of a daze, only coming out of it to get excited by a drinks machine which included chocolate Nesquick. To me this is exciting.

We passed a couple of hours playing miniature golf on the most elaborate theme courses I've ever seen - there were waterfalls and planes and all manner of stuff. Oh and one of them had a duck that would eat out of your hand. The rest of the day is a bit of a blur to be honest, I'm not sure what we did for dinner and I suspect there was some tv watching and collapsing in there too.
