DAY 5 WEDNESDAY 25th OCTOBER 2006
My trip report for this day can be found here: http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=1285570
My original plan for today was to go back and complete a tour of Disney MGM Studios (we had already gone there in the evening on Day 3 for the Fantasmic Dining Package and Extra Magic Hours).
I decided to re-plan when my DS started getting interested in a career in the space industry (in the UK?!?) rather than law (that dashes my hopes for a cushy retirement) and the news that there was to be a rocket launch at Cape Canaveral today. We therefore agreed to move Disney MGM Studios to Day 12 to allow DS and me to go to the Kennedy Space Center for the day. DW and DD decided to stay at WDW and do their own thing (Animal Kingdom and Epcot as it turned out).
To be honest there isnt much to report dining-wise today, and nothing really in the way of photos (I was concentrating on Disney dining mainly).
Meals ended up as follows:
Breakfast

Location: Mara, Animal Kingdom Lodge

On arriving at Kennedy, DS and I noticed that there was a dine with an astronaut option. This sounded interesting and may be inspiring to DS, so I got tickets for that too. It was only $22.99 extra (about £12.77) so it seemed good value.
The meal was fair to pretty good 2 courses buffet style, plus coffee, but had the added bonus of a slideshow and presentation from todays astronaut, Bill Pogue (Skylab 4 Pilot). He also took plenty of questions from the diners. We all got a signed photograph as part of the deal and the opportunity to have our photograph taken with him. All in all, good value for the extra cost.
Sorry, no photos it seemed rude to take them whilst Bill was talking.
Dinner
Time: 08:30pm
Location: Kringla Bakeri og Café, Norway, World Showcase, Epcot
Overall:
Food rating: 8/10
Service: 7/10

DW:
Apple Danish - $1.79
Cappuccino - $3.19
DD:
Cherry Danish - $1.79
Orange Juice - $1.49
Both DW and DD thought their Danish pastries were very nice, in fact DD thought her cherry Danish was really good.

DS and I both had a McDonalds at the one towards the back of the big Walmart in Kissimmee. Certainly not one of the best Ive had (but Ive had worse too).
