Chapter 30: An evening on the track featuring golf and slushees
Sunday 20 October
Back at Coronado Springs, we got ready for the evening and strolled through the Cabanas section on our way to the Pepper Market.
At the Pepper Market, I of course had chicken alfredo and hot chocolate.
pepper market seems to go through sequences of good/bad nights
This night was definitely a good night. I can't remember if the last night we ate here was a bad night or if I was just referring to the morning.
the music in the pepper market randomly changes from the themed Spanish music to the tiki room soundtrack lol what
This was so confusing! I think I'd only noticed it once before but it kept happening this night. The Tiki Room music is all Hawaiian-y so it just did not make sense playing it with the nice Spanish music. It was pretty funny though.
We finished up and started the drive to Kissimmee. It was time for our traditional Fun Spot USA visit.
At the Kissimmee Fun Spot, the main attraction for my brother and I are the four go-karting tracks, but there are also a lot of other rides so we both got the unlimited band. We had several shots on each go kart track.
seeing people from home in florida is really weird
A boy in my class and his brother happened to also be at the go karts the same time as us. I sort of did a double take when I saw him. I knew he'd left for Florida a week before I did because he missed a week of school, but it hadn't crossed my mind I might bump into him. I don't know him very well as he was shifted into my class along with a bunch of other people a couple of months before but it's still pretty strange. It's like that with anyone I see from home; it just doesn't seem natural. At least it wasn't in the parks.
We did some of the rides after. One called Spinning Bobs or something like that was my favourite. There was also one, I can't remember the name, which was exactly the same as Primeval Whirl. As in, the track layout of Primeval Whirl and this ride were actually identical apart from the names and obviously the dinosaur theming. I thought Disney originally designed all of their rides so that was strange. I found this picture on the internet which might make it a bit easier to understand what I'm saying:
Pirates Cove Adventure Golf is right next door to Fun Spot so we played a round. I got a hole in one and won a coin for a free round. We never got a chance to use it however.
Unfortunately there was some really slow and also quite rude people from England playing in front of us. We started playing one of the last holes before they'd finished because we didn't actually realise that once the ball went into the hole, it went down onto this lower green where the hole finished (you had to go down some stairs to get to it), and we couldn't see that from up at the start of the hole. One of the women made an accusing comment to me like "we hadn’t actually finished playing the last hole when you started" and I just apologised because it was a genuine mistake. Still, there was no need.
We crossed back over to Fun Spot and spent some more time karting. It must have been around 10pm when we decided to leave. My hands felt so disgusting and I hate having dirty hands so I went inside to the arcade bit in search of a toilet. There's a little snack bar in there and of course I noticed the slushee machine. I asked mum if I could have one and I was really surprised when she told me to go ahead and have what I wanted. It's never too late for a slushee. This was slushee number eight and I think it was a mix of the two flavours they had.
I've had so many slushees this week it’s unreal
8 slushees in 8 days is kind of crazy.
Day 8 roundup
Weather: Cooler than previous days but lovely in the evening
Favourite attraction: go karts
Favourite food/drink: Ice cream sandwich and either hot chocolate or my slushee
High point: our chilled morning at Blizzard Beach
Low point: rude people at Pirates Cove
