We've not done this before, and I was looking forward to seeing the decorations and new fireworks.

We were not disappointed. 

(I dont do photo's the first time I visit an event :-)

I've never actually been to Downtown Orlando and the approach reminds me of heading into Chicago or such with a big cluster of skyscrapers on the horizon.

Some fantastic architecture to be seen. This coliseum looking temple is next to the Troy university which I found amusing.

At Barnes and Noble Benny stood tall on the shoulders of giants.

We spent nearly $300.

Local healthy food outlet. A rarity in the USA.

Benny has an outtake moment.

Benny's at Denny's.

Although he's in a bit of a jam now waiting for his coffee.

Bought a brick or two. It only took a nano to spend $200.

Bought a cool golf book.

I got a pearl.

It's like Vegas. You roll dice and may get a good return.

Port Merion, the site where The Prisoner was filmed is indeed a rich persons folly.

The grounds and buildings are all immaculate, as is the service.

You start out in the reception which is complete with pods from the show.

A butler then comes and takes you to your accommodation, which in our case was called a cottage but in reality it was a flat.

But it was wonderful.

Benny pondered his sandwich choices and on seeing the chicken mayo with pecans he snapped his head round so quick his helmet didn't keep up.

Whilst most would think it odd to buy food before the Food'n'Wine festival I consider them snacks and I hate fish and snails anyway.

Discovered this in the glove box. Hope we don't get fitted up with it.

I hope the huge ugly car park in downtown Disney gets a sprinkling of pixie dust before its finished.

Benny makes a friend on the friendship.

But then gets busted by security.

Mel gets a Brazilian.

Pork belly.

Look mum! It's me with an iPhone!

So somebody explain to me... The original Mickey Mouse watch he's facing left.

But all, and I mean all, watches on The Boardwslk he's facing right?

Meanwhile Benny grooves in Jellyrolls.

My new gizmo for taking selfies as the adverts stated is much better suited to taking night time pictures than my ugly mug.

Free popcorn. Yey.

Disney 2014. Day 6. Ok Ok. I'll Go Shopping.

For me of course.

Benny and I sit by the pool and plan his new house.

Benny plays Mel at snap.

Benny does not like the look of the sky.

I recommend FireHouse Subs at The Crossroads. I had a Mums Chicken Mayo which is reasonably heathy at 500kc.

Getting Downtown Disney is hell right now due to all the building work. Anyone coming in the next few months should bear this in mind and don't come in from the 535 side.

Woke up in the Hard Rock Hotel with aching legs. According to Mels gizmo we did 12000 steps yesterday.

Off to Walmart for breakfast supplies.

It is actually called the Orlando Eye.
