Our Disney Trip Part II

Our second day in Orlando started with us having breakfast in the hotel we were staying at. We were actually very impressed with the breakfast because it was not continental like they usually give you at some hotels. It was a hot breakfast buffet. We all filled up on eggs, bacon, fruits, toast, bagels, waffle, juice and of course for me.... coffee. They had Wolfgang Puck's coffee which was really good! The staff was also very friendly and helpful. Then we returned to our hotel suite and just hanged out for a little while because everyone was still tired from the day before. We knew we would not get much done with 2 tired kids so we decided it was best to wait until after they took naps before we did anything else. Eventually we all took a nap, yes, even me. Can you believe that?

Later we went to Outback for dinner. We enjoyed the food but I didn't think our waitress was very attentive. Greg's a fast eater so he was done before me and Arjay was a bit fussy so he took him out and left me to finish eating and get the check. I decided that I was not going to give the waitress a big tip because I didn't think she was that great. She wasn't exactly rude but like I said she was not very attentive. I guessed I was not "feeling her." Anyways, I gave her about 15% in tip but Greg usually likes to tip 20% so he thought I didn't leave a good tip. I didn't think she deserved a 20% tip but I didn't want to be really mean and leave 10% because like I said she wasn't really rude and nasty. I tried to point out to him that even when you have a large party and you go to a restaurant and they automatically add gratuity they only add 18%. Anyways, we totally disagreed and spent about 15-20 minutes discussing this. I personally believes that Greg "over-tips" when he tips 20%. I feel that even automatic gratuities are no more than 18%. Here's some research on tipping. Anyways, luckily our night was not ruined because of this.

Afterwards we went to the Prime Outlet Mall to get some shopping done. We got a few items but the best part of the evening was getting Haagen Daz ice-cream. It was a real treat for everyone. The kids were beyond excitement and Arjay couldn't even wait to get his. When he did, he so greedily slurped it that he "entertained" the staff. It was funny watching him.

The next day, our last day in Orlando was spent having breakfast then checking out of the hotel. After that we stopped at DisneyQuest. In my opinion this is not the most suitable place for preschoolers. Adryana was able to do a few things and seemed okay with that. Arjay was pretty much bored except when we did either the driving game or the Lil Hoops game. So, we ended up not staying very long. All in all, we had a great weekend.
