We didn't rush to get out the door, and when we were ready we stepped over the road to Olivia's - a new experience for Nicky and me, but not for Jake (he'd been there a year and a day ago). Once breakfasted (during which Nicky discovered that she likes biscuits with sausage gravy), we went along to the Community Hall, and Jake and I played some pool and some table tennis. Nicky took a few photos, and then came back to our room.
By the time Jake and I got back here, Nicky was particularly excited as our next door neighbours, who were going home today, had given us the Christmas lights that they had used to decorate their patio. Nicky asked if they collected pins, and as the answer was yes, gave them one of the Olympic pins we'd brought with us as a thank you. Apparently, they were very chuffed.
Once we'd wound the lights around our patio railing, we set off on our first outing of the holiday - Publix obviously, and have stocked up on all of the expected things (Florida OJ, Pop Tarts, egg nog, Chips Ahoy, Folgers ...!).
Back at OKW we relaxed here for a while, and Jake and I played a bit more table tennis - he is getting alarmingly good! This evening we went along to Boardwalk and then acquired our special officer DVC discount Premium Annual Passes at the ticket booth at the International Gateway.
We didn't stay long in Epcot - had a wander around a little bit of World Showcase, and had tea at the fast food restaurant at Japan (teriyaki chicken and beef, and shrimp udon noodles).
We had a look at the shops at the Boardwalk on our way back, and Nicky and Jake won a soft toy at the boardwalk games. (We went into the Wyland Galleries - quality as always!).
Now we're back at our villa and I've just been out to pick up three hot chocolates.
Early night tonight, gradually getting lined up with the time difference.
(A couple of changes to report - room cards now have contactless - presumably RFID - technology, and the wifi seems much better and more wide-ranging.)
