After a delayed, manic but still magical start to our trip, it was time for a little downtime. Yes. it is possible to have downtime in Florida! Nobody seems to believe me but it’s not all go-go-GO all the time! Sometimes it’s nice to sit back and relax the Disney way.
Another early start, the men were off to play golf - a dream come true for Dad and the Mr. The Bro went along as well, leaving just us two girls to amuse ourselves, so of course, it started with food. I’d booked us a breakfast in The Boma at Animal Kingdom Lodge. My second home, if I wasn’t staying at Port Orleans, this is where you would find me. The lodge is gorgeous and The Boma puts on a fantastic breakfast buffet, American fare with an African twist - including made to order omelets and freshly roasted on a spit meats.
We finished up around lunch time and headed back to Port Orleans to meet up with the boys and see how the golfing went. They’d had the best time! I love me some mini-golf but actual golf? I’d only go to drive the buggy! We grabbed lunch in the hotel then decided to go do some real shopping. I’m talking outlet mall shopping. DISCOUNT shopping. I grabbed as many dollars as I could fit in my purse, maybe a little plastic too and headed out to do some damage.
And damage…I did not do. The trip was half a win, half a ‘where are all the things that I want???’. I did pick up the most beautiful Kate Spade bag, should have been $300+, bagged for $120! I bought the fluffiest, softest, warmest throw from Vera Bradley for $10, some Godiva hot chocolate and a divine pair of Swarovski earrings to which the Mr treated me to the matching necklace…and that was…that. That. That was it! I had big plans for gym wear, dresses, make-up but it turns out they just didn’t want to come home with me. It’s ok…I had there was a Sephora on Disney that was happy to take my dollar dollar bills!
Anywho, that was that. Golfing, fooding, shopping. Relaxed. Chilled. We had a busy couple of days coming up so it was good to just sort of stop for a while! After all, we were on holiday!
Do you prefer the chill days or the go all out from dawn till dusk days?
