We arrived in orlando quite late. Sonja picked us up at the station then we went straight to Gabby's apartment, where all four of us had a Chinese takeaway. The next day we went shopping at premium outlets mall first, which hadn't changed much since i'd been there when I was younger. Next mall was Mellenia Mall, where we all enjoyed having the free samples given out in the food court. In the afternoon we checked into the Wyndham Resort Disney hotel which was a really nice treat for us from Sonja. Harry and I had a huge double room, with a bath and separate bathroom with stunning views over the park area. Also in the apartment was another room which Gabby and Sonja were in, a kitchen, another bathroom and laundry facilities. Gabby, Sonja, Harry and I put our stuff in our room then went straight to the bar for some cocktails - mine and gabby's favourite was a bahammamama!! Nick and his girlfriend Lisa joined us later on. We all decided to go to the swan and dolphin disney hotels for dinner as they had a karaoke night. This was held in a sushi restaurant, so we had really good sushi for dinner. The next day consisted of lying by the pool all day, having a really good catch up with Sonja. We went in the lazy river which meant lying back in rubber rings floating around the river. I also walked all the way around the lake which the hotel was situated on. In the evening gabby, harry and I got the bus from the hotel to Downtown Disney. This was the first Disney place we'd properly been to so I got really excited!! We walked through then got the Disney bus to the boardwalk to have a look. Harry bought a corndog from the stall on the boardwalk while I had a pulled pork sandwich. We headed up to the bridge on the boardwalk to get a good position to watch the Epcot fireworks. It wasn't quite as good a view as it would've been if we were in the park but was still just as magical.

The following day the three of us spent the went to the universal theme parks. We started in islands of adventure where Gabby's friend got us a 30% discount on our tickets. We went on all the huge rides and saw harry potter world for the first time! My favourite ride is still by far the Hulk, Harry's was the harry potter 3D ride. Harry and I also went on Popeyes rapids, getting completely soaked in the process! it was hot so we dried quickly though. Next we went to universal studios park, we saw all of the shows and went on all the rides, including the brand new one (....) on which you selected a song each which was played through your seat on the roller coaster - so much fun! We stayed until late to watch the fireworks, fountains and light display. On the way back to Gabby's we stopped at Chipotle, it was mine and harrys first experience here and the food was amazing, huge portions and a good price - we shared a massive chicken burrito and some beef tacos. harry also ordered what he thought were chips, they were actually tortilla crisps!!

The next morning I was really excited as Gabby had found a friend to get us free tickets to all four Disney parks in one day. We collected the park hopper from Animal Kingdom, so it made sense to start there. We went on the new Mount Everest ride, the new safari- which had way more animals and we were lucky to see all of them, we watched the lion king show and took photos with goofy and Pluto. Next park we went to was Disney's hollywood studios, we got there on the magic bus. Before lunch we made sure we'd done the tower of terror and rock n roller coaster rides, these quickly became two of our favourites! After a quick lunch we decided to go to watch the Indiana Jones stunt show - one of Harry's favourites. We were running short of time now so left the park and got the magic boat to Epcot. Harry wasn't too interested in Epcot so we walked through the park taking photos, went to the new Nemo's aquarium and had a look in the innovation centres. We went out the other side of Epcot so that we could catch the monorail to Magic Kingdom - the last park of the day! We were so short of time we literally ran in, ran up to the magic castle and took photos. We got the monorail and bus back to animal kingdom to collect Gabby's car then drive back as we were going out into downtown orlando tonight with her friends. As we were short on time we went through the drive through panda express, i ordered my favourite orange chicken with noodles mmmm. A quick stop at Gabby's to get ready and her friend Dan picked us up to go into town. We first met her other friend Morgan at a bar she had just had an interview for, then the five of us went to several bars. My favourite was a rooftop bar, as it was so warm you couldn't even notice it was outside. Harry saw one of his friends- Chris Herburt in the queue for a club we were going into, we saw him again briefly in the club. We didn't pay for any drinks or club entry all night which was incredible and they really showed us a good night out. Unfortunately we were in a car accident on the way home, where someone hit Morgan's car. The whole evening was like something out of a film, from the free drinks all night to the cops driving off with all of our ID's to the last cop giving Gabby his mobile phone number.

As we hadn't got back to Gabby's until 5am, we got up pretty late the next day then just chilled before heading to see Sonja at her caravan. We were shown around, met domi, robbie and all the animals. To finish our amazing time in Orlando, all eight of us went for dinner on international drive - a generous treat from Robbie. The following day Gabby dropped us off early at the grey hound bus station, for us to leave for West Palm Beach.
