We ordered a drink first, Lee went for a virgin Pina Colada and I had a Monkey Business no idea what was in it but it tasted good.
For starters I chose the Quesadillas and Lee had the Buffalo Wings:
To follow I had a Bacon BBQ Cheeseburger and Lee had Chicken Parmigiana, it was way too much food and we both ate less than half of our mains.
After we paid the bill we decided to head back to the resort and relax, we got back to the room about 3pm and made the fatal mistake of lying on the bed
where we both immediately fell asleep!
Thankfully Lee woke about 5pm and we both showered and changed in time for our 6.30pm pick up as tonight we were off to our first ever NBA game - Orlando Magic Vs Miami Heat! (I booked it as a surprise for Lee and gave him the tickets at Christmas.) Once we were ready we went out to the front of the resort to wait for our transfer, who was early and already waiting for us. We had a whole mini bus to ourselves as we were the only pick up.
We were driven to the new Amway Centre, the brand new home for the Orlando Magic team - I could not have asked for a better welcome

Disney Cruise Line are the sponsors of the Orlando Magic team. We headed inside and were each given a Game Day programme and a pack of Bam Bams

These are Bam Bams they are a pair of inflatable tubes which have a little blue LED light in them which was still lit the day we came home! They were great fun, waving them around and bashing them together to distract the opposing team when they were trying to shoot.
The cheerleaders
We had a walk around the arena and got a hot dog and beer then took our seats, they had a huge plane (blimp) that was floating around advertising Airtran:
The teams came out on court to warm up:
Then a young girl sang the Nation Anthem, she was so nervous bless her.
And then the match started:
It was a great atmosphere but unfortunately the Magic didnt play that well in the first two quarters. During the breaks there was lots of fun games on the court where people could win Airtran flights, also the Magics Mascot was chasing everyone and getting the crowd cheering:
There was lots of advertising for
Disney Cruise Line shown on the screen throughout the evening, especially the Dream:
Including one of the Magics players having a go on the Dreams Aquaduck!
The Magic eventually caught up in the last Quarter but not enough to win the final score was 104 to the Miami Heat and 100 to the Magic:
It was a great evening and a fun new experience, we met the driver right outside and we were soon on our way back to AKL. We got back around 11.30pm and went straight to bed.
Coming soon
