Planning Trip Day Five

Today we went off property for a tour we had scheduled at the golf channel which we were all beyond excited for! Not many people get this opportunity so of course us being the golfing family we are were thrilled about the experience.

We ate breakfast at the hotel again today just because of the convenience. But really the food is pretty good too and there is normally a short line for breakfast at this quick service location. Disney quick service breakfast items are about the same at all the resorts with the exception of a few items here and there so when we are ready for food in the morning we choose where to eat based on either the convenience of the location or the atmosphere.

But anyway after breakfast we drove over to the Golf Channel Studio which took us about 10 minutes to get to. It must be nice for those Employees to be so close to all those pretty golf courses.When we got there we got all checked in and we felt so official with our picture badges on. I am going to just let the pictures do the talking from here....

The tour was just so cool! After this we decided to hit the outlets and I had my debit card ready to swipe! :) I bought my first ever Coach Purse and Chris got a couple of pairs of shoes from Nike that he still hasn't stopped talking about. He loves those shoes. I also hit up JCrew of course. But after a couple hours of shopping we were all beat and ready for a nap.

I don't have any pictures from MGM but we AGAIN pushed on through the rain for another night in the park. I promised to enjoy this night instead of snapping pictures every five minutes so I did not take any. But Chris got to ride Tower of Terror and Rock and Roll Rollercoaster again. I was still being lame and not wanting to ride anything like that.

But we also had dinner reservations at 8:20 at 50's PrimeTime. This meal was just ok but the gluten free fried chicken was pretty good. And it was fried so I wasn't going to complain too much since I don't ever really get fried food at home.

After dinner we ducked into a few stores and then headed straight to Toy Story Mania to end our night.
Here's the trick for Disney Fans. If you want to go to Toy Story Mania but don't get to the Fastpass machines in time and don't want to stand in a ridiculously long line just wait until the park is about to close and go ride it a few times before you leave. The wait always says about 60 minutes for this ride but we found out that this is not accurate when we decided to wait it out and it only ended up being about 10 minutes :)
