Reasonably early start to take advantage of our resort extra half hour in Hollywood, as a result of which we were able (three of us) to ride the ever-fun slinky dog, before getting into a not-too-long line (four of us) for TSM where, once again, I took the bronze medal.

Disappointing to report that two of our favourite places to get a drink and a pastry in the Studios no longer exist - no more 'Starring Rolls' and no more 'Writers' Stop', so, after a visit to see the Muppets (where the shop is closed also, and the whole area is looking a little unloved - time for a revamp perhaps - maybe it's bye-bye time Kermit?!) we found ourselves in Galaxy's Edge having a 'Ronto Wrap' for a late breakfast.

Plan formulated that Nan and N would stay at the Studios for a little longer (first stop Frozen singalong) whilst J and I would head back to the resort and then make a move for Top Golf where we had a booking.

Top Golf was exactly like Vegas, and lots of fun. As always, lots of talk about 'if only I could take some of these shots out onto the course...' and so on. We enjoyed aiming for the targets and playing virtual rounds. I even managed to sneak in a trip to B&N on the way back to the hotel.

Off to Springs for dinner, and to give the Boathouse another chance. It might be a while before we give it a third try. Food ok, but place generally noisy and chaotic. Shame really - could and should be much better. At least Nicky had a drink with a rubber duck in it!
