Join me and Laura for an action packed day back in Orlando! Starting by disembarking Wonder of The Seas cruise ship at Port Canaveral, we head down the I4 to Universal Orlando Resort to Islands of Adventure for early Park entry with our Annual Passes. We managed to ride Velocicoaster before the Park officially opened! After a caffeine hit at Starbucks, we also rode Spiderman, Dr Doom's Fear fall, Jurassic Park River adventure, The Hulk Rollercoaster and explored some of the shops inside the park including the Halloween and Christmas stores. Of course, I couldn't resist a go on the water sprayers at Popeye's Barges as well!
We then head to Publix Supermarket at Celebration on highway 192 to get some shopping and see what they had in store and also the pricing. The prices of the British products shocked us however we do love the Publix Deli and the Key Lime Cheesecake is one of my favourites!
To finish of our Magical day we head to Disney Springs to eat in Splitsville Restaurant for some delicious food before some drinks in The House of Blues Bar which had some great live music on. We also checked out the M&M's store too along with the Disney Style store! What a very busy day!

The odds are that IOA will redevelop The Lost Continent to Harry Potter. If we accept that, I’d refurbish Poseidon’s Fury to the concluding horcrux scene in The Half-Blood Prince.

Publix is more expensive, but the stores are always very clean, and it has the best deli. Love cornbread, but probably wise Laura didn’t get it. It’s mealy and gritty. Based on the various Florida vloggers, Brits tend not to like it. If you’ve had a corn dog, the batter on it is cornbread. Not a clam chowder fan, but don’t like fish. However it is popular here in the US. I don’t like the chunky soups either. Did Laura grow up going to Disney, or did it start when you met? BTW, Prime now also comes in a powdered mix.
