Disney Christmas Trip - Day 3

Woke up rather early - wanted to take advantage of one more day of Typhoon Lagoon since the temperatures are still good. On the way, I took the kids to Orange World - the building is shaped like a giant orange ("World's Largest" - 92 feet wide, 60 feet high and 35,000 pounds)! We found some flip flops that should work at the park (wish we had them yesterday). The huge wave pool at the water park is so big it is like a huge Tsunami - scared Mollie. We enjoyed many more rides with few other guests. While we were there, we learned about the Photo Pass option - photos without a camera. We ended up with some great shots of the kids on the rides. The pass came in handy throughout the trip - lots of family pictures to share with our family. Nicky picked us up at about 1500 and we went back to the condo to unwind for a little while. Around 1800 we drove over to Winter Haven for Christmas Eve with Nicky's Aunt Barbara and Uncle Walt. It was a nice time - I always like chatting and smoking cigars with Walt. They were off to the Northeast in the morning, so we went back to the condo and actually got to bed early.
