First stop MK today, and despite the fact that we were only out the door with about 10 minutes to go until our fast pass time for Big Thunder, we didn't have to wait too long for the bus, and so were there in plenty of time to make it onto the ride in our hour-long window.
As there was a gap before our next one, we were able to fit in three more things - Haunted Mansion, the Carousel, and Philharmagic - before heading onto the Mine Train, which thanks to the fast pass we were on with only a five minute wait.
By this stage it was getting pretty hot, and so we wandered through the castle, back along Main Street, and to Tony's Town Square restaurant, which we had booked for lunch (a first I think). N was saying that apparently the Americans give the restaurant some bad reviews due to small portion sizes, but J was the only one to finish his main course. (J&G both had steak, N had chicken and I had cannelloni.)
After lunch we headed out of the park. I made the mistake of suggesting a boat plus monorail plus Epcot walk home, rather than the direct bus. It was too hot to walk, and the rest of the party decided they'd get the bus from the Epcot monorail station back to Boardwalk, but it turns out that there isn't one, and so the walk was endured, including a drink stop at Starbucks.
By the time we were back at the room, we all enjoyed a long relax and cool down before heading for an evening at Disney Springs. It was N and my first visit of the trip. We were impressed by some of the new facilities - liked the Coca Cola store, enjoyed some of the other stores. It was Uniqlo's opening day so pretty busy. We had to endure another downpour but thankfully it didn't last too long. Some of Town Center was shut off for a private event for much of the evening which was pretty annoying. Jake got to say hello to Marcus Jordan which may well have made his holiday. We may well pop back to Springs tomorrow morning when hopefully it will be fully open, dry, and quieter!
