We walked around for an hour or so and had a lot of fun exploring the resort! We stopped by the pool bar to grab some drinks. I had a Pinacolava and Justine had a blueberry lemonade drink - both we were really good!
Then, we changed into our swimsuits, and headed to the bowling pin pool. While we were at the pool, we had an extremely talkative life guard. We were joking that he must be doing a stand up routine, because he just kept on going with very little responses from us! We spent about an hour at the pool, and then went back to the room to get ready - we were super excited to see that our luggage had arrived!! We unpacked and got ready for our evening in Disney Springs.
We headed to Disney Springs and walked around some of the stores, and stopped in to check out the new layout of World of Disney. Justine didn't love it, but I appreciated how open it was and how much easier it was to walk around. I also managed to get this shot and narrowly avoided being spit on!
I also love the Lego dragon!
The sky was getting really dark so we went right to Homecomin', even though we were a half an hour early. As we made it to the covered waiting area, the skies opened up and the downpour was crazy! I know it rains a lot in Florida in the summer, but had forgotten how quickly the storms roll in and how intense they are! We were seated at our reservation time of 7:05pm, and had the sweetest waitress! Since we were on the dining plan, it included an entree, a dessert and a beverage - which for us would be all alcoholic drinks.
Our drinks - a moonshine mule and I think a sangria. They were good, but SO strong!
The main draw was the fried chicken, which we both ordered. It was amazing, and possibly my favorite meal from the trip. I don't eat fried chicken a lot, but this was so crunchy and flavorful. And the mashed potatoes were delicious!
Dessert for me was a Chocolate Pecan Pie, and Moonshine cake for the wife. Both were tasty, but we were so full!
It was a great meal, and we will definitely be back on future trips!!
Fortunately, the rain had stopped by the time dinner ended, so we headed out to do some shopping. I just love Donald - apparently I like all of the broody Disney characters
We also stopped into the Christmas store to admire all of the decorations, and to forewarn Justine that our future house will be decorated with Disney holiday decor!
At this point, we called it a night! It was only about 9:30pm, but we had been up since 4:00am and were tired! We also had a full day the next day in Magic Kingdom!
Fortunately, we have a few friends that love Disney just as much as we do! 
Security was a quick 10 minutes, and soon we were waiting to board!
