Epcot, Our Resort and Downtown Disney

By -
Our day, on Wednesday, started with a very early morning so that we could get to our breakfast reservation (1/2 hour walk away) at Akershus Royal Banquet Hall. This was a character dining meal. We had breakfast with some princesses...Belle, Snow White, Aerial  and Sleeping Beauty.
Brayden got a photo with the gorgeous Belle.

We decided to conquer some more of the rides at Epcot...Jason and Brayden hadn't done "Soarin'" - as fantastic ride where you hang glide around sights of California.

We then all headed to one ride called 'Test Track' I think this ride will go down as my favourite...definitely my favourite at Epcot and maybe even my favourite across all of the parks. We designed a car and tested it on a track. It was all simulation however the test ride wasn't. We were in a little car that travelled at very high speed. It was incredible.


We then went on a ride through time...which sent us around through the inside of the Epcot ball.

It was very hot so we decided to head back to the resort. We swam, had lunch by the pool and went several times down the slide in the resort pool. A lovely relaxing afternoon.

As we had dinner booked for a restaurant at Downtown Disney we headed across earlier to do some shopping. Downtown Disney is more of the shopping precinct of Disney World...we could have spent a fortune!
Brayden hung out at the Lego shop, checking out all of the sets to buy, making and racing Lego cars and checking out each set at the interactive screen. It was very cool.


We had dinner at Fultons Crab House....which was a seafood restaurant (obviously I had something else e.g. Ribs). The restaurant was a big, old paddlesteamer that was situated on the man made lake in the centre of Downtown Disney. It was awesome!
I might add that Jason and Brayden shared the King and Queen Experience for 2....a plate full of crab legs...what a feast!

Erawan Museum

What an amazing day! After a magnificent breakfast at our hotel it was time to check out! At 10am, Geoff, Chalor, Poi and Arnut picked us up from our hotel. We travelled down Sukhumvit Rd with no idea where we were going! Geoff didn't want us to know...it was a surprise!! Well, as we turned the corner our breath was taken away by the most amazing three headed elephant.  We were heading to the Erawan Museum. The Erawan Museum, according to the founder Lek Viriyaphant's ideal wish, was aimed to serve as a showcase of the spirit of Asia where the essence of Arts and 4 major religions have been preserved in order to make known to Asian people and the world the foundation of the eastern civilisation cultivated and transmitted through the philosophical inspiration. An absolutely amazing place.... We headed to Mega Bang Na for lunch and treated the youngsters to the last western meal for 8 days ( McDonalds - Arnut was in his element!) We then travelled nearly 2 hours to get to Pak Hai

A rainy day in Singapore

We woke to this this morning... Rain and a storm.  Our plans changed a little as we didn’t feel Gardens By the Bay would be worth it in the rain.  Jason started the day with a traditional Asian style breakfast... We then headed off to see the ‘Merlion’ The Merlion is a form of welcome to the visitors to Singapore. A real tourist thing to do is pose with the Merlion with the water entering your mouth...we gave it a shot!! We decided to head to Orchard Road for some window shopping. How many Louis Vuitton or Victoria’s Secret shops can you have in one stretch??? The hands down winner though was the Magnum store...where you could create your own Magnum!!! We didn’t but watched a couple of other aussies create theirs! I found another scrapbooking store. Absolutely gorgeous. The walls and store were lined with gorgeous projects. Lots of great things to buy but I actually walked out with nothing 🤪 So unlike me!!! I also went to the store under our hotel...with nothing purchased there either
