So we meet the rest of our group back at the Hollywood Brown Derby for our 11:30am ADR and we are NOT disappointed in the food here. Frank and have been dying to get back here to eat since our October 2008 trip! Frank was not splitting the Cobb Salad with me THIS time, so he got his own but MIL and I split one because I had every intention of getting dessert here. DS9 Nicolas orders the fish and chips...did I mention he's a picky eater? Obviously the minute his food hits the table and it is NOT looking like Mrs. Pauls Fish sticks we know he's not going to eat, but the waitress quickly replaces it with a hot dog for him. DS4 orders the chicken noodle soup. Now he's NOT my picky eater, but this is NOT Cambell's soup and he is also not eating that...but DH helps out there. Food is all really good, and of course we get dessert too. I get the Banana White Chocolate Toffee Tower for dessert as I did last time...LOVE this one, so cool and refreshing. FIL decides to give the Grapefruit cake a try, and he enjoys it. I taste it and it's not really my thing...then again, no chocolate in it!

After lunch, we walk outside to see the High School Musical 3 Street show happening and DD6 is a HUGE HSM fan. She and I grab a spot to sit and watch the show.

Noelle, in the shirt I made for her, watching the show:


The rest of the party is not interested so they all go off to see the Lights, Motor, Action Stunt Show. After the HSM3 show, we decide to hit the Great Movie Ride which has no wait time, and that ends just as the show ends for the rest of the group. We meet up and then head over to Star Tours, which is one ride I do NOT do as I just don't handle simulated rides that well. The rest of the group rides while I wait with MIL who isn't willing to chance it with her new hip. After that, we grab some ice cream and make our way towards the front of the park. The Block Party Bash is starting and the kids had really wanted to see this. As we are on the side of the street, a cast member has us pull the stroller right up to the front to block a walkway so we are in the front row. DD6 is LOVING this, she dances and sings to the show and at one point is pulled out into the street to join in a dance as well. It's great.




We then head out of the park, catching a boat back to the Beach Club Resort. We pick up our van and head over to Kidani to check into our room there for the rest of our stay. We arrive there and are checked in immediately of course, get a "welcome" gift of a small tree, and head to our room. I glance over to the Savannah as we are walking down the hall to realize the giraffe's look like they are right in front of our room, so of course we open the doors and head out to the balcony and THERE THEY ARE!









The kids are SO excited! We animal watch for a while and unpack our stuff. We have plenty of time to relax before our dinner that evening at Boma.

Our 2 bedroom unit...sorry that I did not get the MAIN room...just our room, the bedroom with the 2Q beds!




6pm or so is dinner, we drive over to Jambo house and are seated right away. This is our first time trying dinner here. Did I mention yet I'm a picky eater? The food here is okay, and of course I have to try the zebra domes, but overall I am not terribly impressed. I don't think we'll make a return trip to this one, but I'm glad I tried it.

After dinner, we decide to walk down and check out the pool. It's late and it's bath night for the kids, so I agree to just let them run around the kids play area. Who cares if they get wet? They have a blast getting soaked in their clothes of course.








Once that's all done, we call it an evening and head back to the room to get cleaned up and rest.
