Day 2 - 30th October 2015
Budget £50 & $75 Premier Inn Breakfast £19.90 (kids eat free) British Airways Drinks & Pretzel Snack There were no choices left so we all had sausage & mash (suited us all fine) Afternoon Tea - Sandwich & Kitkat Hilton Garden Inn Tampa Airport Arriving at hotel tired and nothing within walking distance we grabbed some microwave snacks from shop downstairs as we had microwave in room.

Day 3 - 31st October 2015
Budget $150 IHOP We all loved this meal. We loved it so much we went back to IHOP in Orlando later in the trip but the food & service in Tampa was better. Me - Sirloin Tips Kev - Split Decision Freddie - Kids Banana & Nutella Crepes Tommy - Create a Face $38.44 ($45.00 inc tip) Busch Gardens Snacks Funnel Cake $10.47 McDonalds No photos but we grabbed some chicken nuggets & a small cheeseburger in Mcdonalds while in Walmart. $7.75 Maggianos Bread Tommy - Kids Giant Meatball Spaghetti Spaghetti with a giant meatball and marinara sauce Freddie - Kids Lasagna Pasta sheets layered with Ricotta cheese, crumbled meatballs, Italian sausage and marinara. Topped with Provolone cheese and choice of marinara or meat sauce. Me - Chicken Marsala Mushrooms & Marsala Sauce with Spaghetti Aglio Olio Kev - This was a feature dish and can't see it on menu now. This meal was delicious. I adored my meal and Kev loved his too. The kids were slightly more fussy but did a good job. The kids meals were certainly big enough for them both. We had a $10 off voucher $65.00 (inc tip and voucher taken off) Day total $128.22 ($21.78 under our budget)

Day 4 - 1st November 2015
Budget $150 Perkins Tommy - Rainbow Pancakes Two buttermilk pancakes topped with rainbow sprinkles, whipped topping and powdered sugar. Served with two bacon strips. Freddie - Cinnamon Roll French Toast Platter* A fresh baked cinnamon roll, sliced and dipped in our egg batter, then grilled to sweet perfection. Kev - Spinach & Mushroom Scramble Egg Beaters® scrambled with slow-roasted tomatoes, onion, fresh spinach and mushrooms. With two chicken apple sausage links, fresh fruit and dry whole wheat toast. Me - Pancakes with Apple ? This was nowhere near as good as IHOP. I probably chose the wrong thing though so wouldn't completely rule out returning ! $40.00 (inc tip) Friendlys Tommy - Kid's Grilled Cheese Freddie - Kids Cheeseburger Sliders Me - FRIENDLY'S DELUXE CHICKEN SANDWICH Tender, breaded chicken breast on a Brioche roll with lettuce, tomato and mayo. Kev - PEPPER JACK BURGER† This burst of Cajun spices will have you celebrating! A blackened Friendly’s Big Beef burger, topped with melted Pepper Jack cheese, sauteed onions, fresh lettuce, tomato and Cajun mayo on a soft Brioche roll. Ice Creams $51.00 (inc tip) Dominos We were stuck for choices after MNSSHP so grabbed a dominos pizza. This was expensive for what it was but nice $16.50 We also bought a couple of drinks in Magic Kingdom & some milk & crisps from the hotel shop. Day total $121.98 ($28.02 under our budget)

Day 5 - 2nd November 2015
Budget $150 We had breakfast in the room today and didn't really have lunch as such - just shared snacks throughout the day Hollywood Studios Min & Bill's Dockside Diner $23.95 Barbecued Pulled Pork Macaroni and Cheese - with crispy onions Jumbo Turkey Leg Starring Rolls Cafe $17.43 Ham Sandwich - with chips or fresh fruit Pizza Hut @ Target $7.75 Small Cheese & Tomato Pizza and Garlic Breadsticks with Marinara Dipping Sauce Krispy Kreme 8x Donuts (only took photo of 6 as others were the same) $8.06 Texas de Brazil No food photos as didn't seem appropriate to take them in there ! This meal was expensive and I am in two minds if it was worth it or not. The food was certainly delicious and the salad buffet particularly was very good. There is really a limit though to how much meat you can eat and although all was very nice not sure it was as nice as the price... $166.61 (we did have a voucher off the total too so would have been more) Day total $223.80 ($73.80 over our budget)

Day 6 - 3rd November 2015
We had breakfast in our room and again didn't really do lunch - just a few snacks (and some crisps etc we took with us) then had an early dinner. Universal Studios Lard Lad Donuts The Big Pink - Giant donut with sweet, creamy frosting and sprinkles $5.32 This was really nice. More cake like than donut and I thought really good value since we split it between the 4 of us Florean Fortescue’s Ice-Cream Parlour Flavours: Apple Crumble, Sticky Toffee Pudding, Salted Caramel Blondie & Chocolate $23.39 These were really good and big portions. Tony Romas Appetisers to share Onion Loaf - Giant hand-cut Spanish onions, breaded, deep fried and served with TR’s Original BBQ sauce Steak & Wild Mushroom Flatbread - Crisp flatbread topped with grilled, all natural beef tenderloin, melted Havarti cheese, crumbled bleu cheese, wild mushrooms, red peppers, chives and creamy horseradish sauce Baked Potato Soup - Topped with grated Cheddar cheese, bacon and chives Tommy & Freddie- Marinara Pasta - Linguine pasta tossed in marinara sauce and topped with shaved Asiago cheese. Me - The Original Baby Back Ribs - Tender, lean pork loin meat, basted with TR’s Original™ BBQ sauce or your choice of one of our other delicious sauces Kev - New York Strip (I think) A heartier, leaner cut of beef with its own distinctive taste. Seasoned to perfection with Tony’s special seasoning. This was a great meal enjoyed by us all. We had a voucher so total came to ($70.64 inc tip) Day total $99.35 ($50.65 under our budget)
