We wakened in our huge kingsized bed at 5am ish. Decided to get up anyway. Got on with sorting all the chargers before mucking about in the kitchen with switches and turning the waste disposal on and waking the children.
After an easy breakfast of cereal and pop tarts and toast. We tidied up and got some photo's outside round the pool. The boys decided to swim but found it too cold. We covered the pool whole we were out.
Our choice for today was Animal Kingdom. This was a very hot morning and a new experience of not getting disney transport to any disney park. It was an easy process and we did remember to note our parking space.
It was very busy at the gates, quick bag check and through the turnstiles. Into the park. We had to pop in to the shop to get our photopass+ card. Very impressed with the card.
Mr Groovee went straight to Expedition Everest for fast passes, while the children and I headed up to Kilamanjaro Safari's It was a short walk and we had a bit of waiting. Finally we headed to the safari and the walk to the safari truck was longer than the ride itself. Was nice to be out in the truck seeing the wild life.
After that we walked to Asia to see what the Kali River Rapids were like. Too busy, so a toilet stop and time to collect a drink before our time for EE was ready. We had the unfortunate experience of a Brazilian Tour group barging in with the usual lack of manners when it comes to queuing. As it was, The Boy needed to be measured to get on, which he more than passed, this resulted in the group being split up and other guests blocking their way! Will be doing that more often. Was fab to see Epcot in the distance and that both kids are wee coaster junkies.
We then decided to head over to Dinoland. I decided to do some pacing and found a good seat to view Primeval Whirl while the others rode it. They were underwhelmed. But I had the amusing experience of it raining and you could tell the brits. We all stayed where we were while the Americans were shrieking and running for cover. Was quite funny as the rain was so warm.
We tried to head to Dinosaur which unfortunately was shut and we were unable to get fastpasses. So we headed to Restaurantasourus for some lunch. The smell of the burgers lured us, so we shared 2 burger and chips with water.
We decided then to head to our favourite of Festival of the Lion King. It was the first show we ever saw on our honeymoon in 1998. Its a must do for us. As we came out we raced into the line with Donald. We have photopass Plus, so we need some use from it. Had some fun with Donald. Then we headed back to the front of the park for It's Tough to be a bug. I checked the boy was ok and was laughing when he said "yes but I'm a bit wet!" Then we decided to head to the front of the park and get some photopass photo's in front of the tree of life then some "magic ones" Can't wait to see how they turn out,
We headed and bought some pin lanyards and autograph books for next time.
We headed back to the car, where we realised we would have to beep the car to see which one was ours as there were 2 next to each other whoops. Found ours and I had a turn of driving to walmart then back to the villa. Got out of the car and went to unlock and unalarm the house when a squirrel jumped out of the bushes. Gave me a right fright.
We headed to Sweet Tomatoes on the 192. Have never been here before but we loved it. We all ate well. Well worth $50 for unlimited eating. Then it was back to the villa for some pool time and chill out time, before bed. It's so lovely to be chilling outside in the warm.
