1st day in Orlando - 12th Jan

I had a brilliant 10 hour sleep last night! It was the greatest sleep after the long journey the day before! We had a slow morning just having break and stuff as both Bec and I were still pretty tired! And then we decided to take a walk around and found a Subway - which turned into our first meal in America! After a cruise morning we decided that we should do something productive so we walked to Walmart - which turned out to be about an 1 hour and half walk!! But it was so easy and it didn't feel that long! 

Walmart:
This store is AMAZING!! You can buy everything here. Like literally EVERYTHING! From a pet fish to a mattress to all kinds of electronics to absolutely everything!  We were in here for at least 2 hours and we bought everything for our beds (sheets, pillows, comforter set etc) and basic room stuff like coat hangers and towels. We then had to catch a taxi back to our hotel as it was raining now and we were never going to be able to carry all our shopping! It the car, it only took up about 10 minutes to get back to the hotel - which didn't cost much! 

We then unloaded everything up into our room and Bec and I decided that we needed Sim Cards for our phones because as soon as we leave the hotel we don't have service! So we looked up the nearest T-mobile store which annoyingly enough was right back at Walmart! See didn't I tell you? Walmart has literally everything! 
They even had these and it was really hard to resisit not to buy them: 



So we caught another taxi back to Walmart sorted out our phone Sim Cards and then caught another taxi to dinner! 

Olive Garden:
We had dinner at the greatest Italian restaurant...ever! We had free Entree's and Breadsticks! So we all got Gnocchi and Chicken Soup - amazing! And a few breadsticks each!

And for the main (which they call Entree` and what we would call Entree, they call Appetisers - so weird!) I got Cheese Ravioli with a Marinara sauce! It is safe to say that we definitely rolled out of there that night! 




  And because it had stopped raining by this time we decided to walk home which was great because we were able to see this sign. 




When we got back to our room we were watching TV and talking and then all of a sudden we hear these banging noises from outside so we rushed to the window and we were able to see the Magic Kingdom fireworks from our hotel window! This isn't the greatest photo but you get an idea of how close it is!
