Day 6 - Day off!

This was our planned day off! We “slept in” until 8:30ish. Got to the the POP food court for breakfast. I had a bagel (with peanut butter we brought from home), a pastry and a banana. Rebekah had, once again, the Kids Breakfast Platter, and John had a danish and some strawberries.

Rebekah took this while I was eating breakfast

Then it was time for Rebekah to catch up with her homework packet. So we grabbed a table poolside for some homework time! We spent about an hour there in the sun and surrounded by Disney doing the not so fun stuff.

 Homework time!
Homework time with some BIG friends!

Time for lunch, to the POP food court we go! I had the turkey sandwich again, so good! Rebekah had the kids pizza again and John had the meatball sub – sorry, I forgot pictures this time!

Then we headed to Disney Springs and shopped like there was no tomorrow! We started in Art of Disney store and drooled over a lot of things there...if we only had a bigger house! Then to Mickey's Pantry where I got a huge Haunted Mansion mug, some tea and teapress. Next was the pin store..this was our weakness this trip...pins...lots of pins (mostly for trading). We SO need to bring more pins to trade next time!! Then we went over to the toy store to check for new TsumTsums (nothing new) so Rebekah got a Duffy and Thor. Off to World of Disney for Duffy doll and an Official Park CD. I really fell in love with a Star Wars purse. I wanted it. Bad. But I could not spend that much money one it. Maybe another time. Then we headed to the West Side to visit the new Star Wars and Super Hero stores, both were small and had stuff we had seen in the parks already, but they were cool. Back up to Goofy's candy (I got a chocolate chip mickey cookie and Rebekah go an Olaf marshmallow pop). And lastly hit the Christmas store for 2016 ornament for us and angel ornament for Nana.

Bus back to Pop, John ran to drop off stuff in the room and I stopped over to the concierge to check what credits we had left on our Dining plan.
Grabbed the bus to Magic Kingdom then bus to Animal Kingdom Lodge for our supper at Boma. I loved the lodge. We had some time before our reservation so went outside to see animals.

The buffet and restaurant atmosphere were great, and it is totally on our to do again list. The food was really good, nice and diverse, even Rebekah was happy there. The service was quick good and atmosphere was a bit crowded, but overall every good.

On our way out we stopped Lodge store and grabbed a souvenir mug for Memere and Pluto pen for Rebekah. So we hopped on the bus to Magic Kingdom and decided to do a bit of a monorail tour. At the Magic Kingdom we hopped on the monorail to the Ticket and Transportation Center, then grabbed the monorail to EPCOT. I love the ride into and around EPCOT on the monorail at night. John decided to go to the room while Rebekah and I decided on a QUICK trip into EPCOT. We rode Spaceship Earth 2x in 20 min, love it!!

 Yea...fun...really!
 I promise...she does smile
 Almost there...

Tired, we then headed back to the room for the night!

Steps walked: 16,560 (8.06 miles)
