Disney Springs; 13,011 steps

The theme for the tenth day of our trip was shopping. Since we were staying at a Universal property, we decided to take the bus to the Universal CityWalk, where we picked up a few wands we regretted not buying at our day at the theme park a few years ago, and visited the iconic symbol of Universal Studios:

We didn’t spend too much time there, though, because our main destination for the day was Disney Springs, which is a huge outdoor mall that I think is supposed to make you think of Rodeo Drive:

I’m not sure what we were looking for exactly, but we did find an enormous Disney store and a huge Lego Store, both places that gave us the opportunity to buy a few more souvenirs.

There were lots of other cool shops, too, including Cherry Tree Lane, where I assumed I’d find a dress I’d want to buy (I didn’t), and where I didn’t expect to find Orange Bird!

There was also a pin trading store with some familiar faces:

We stopped to try the poutine at The Daily Poutine:

There were displays for Pride Month:

It was a fun place to visit!

We continued the theme of shopping at Publix to stock up on a few additional food supplies since we were running low…I really like that grocery store chain!

When we got back to the hotel, we headed to the Bayliner Diner to use our complimentary dinner tickets.

I had the Cabana Bay burger, which, if it hadn’t been so well done, would have been possibly the best burger I’ve ever had. Even being so well done, it was delicious, and that’s high praise coming from me, the person who likes her burger to arrive at the table still moo-ing!

Everyone else enjoyed their meals, too…Ladybug’s tuna looked especially amazing!
