Reunited With The Boss Man
Before going to see festival of the lion king Brittany found the jungle juice and wanted to get it after the show. So that’s where we went. Then right across from that stand was where they sell the rum dole whip, so of course I had to try it.
With cool refreshing snacks in hand we headed over to check out the new harambe village. First off it is a great new addition, everything smells good there and the details are what makes it. Unfortunately I was struggling with a melting dole whip to take any pictures. The struggle was real! I was on the hunt for a CM to give me a real cup to pour it in. With it being such an easy task, it should have taken a second to complete but it took forever! Once receiving my cup I then doused myself in hand sanitizer in hopes of not being so sticky.
We headed on our way around the kingdom and stopped to look at Mr. Kamal’s cart.
Brittany decided to go for another snack and got the Falafel. It took quite some time for her falafel to be ready and when they were there were antsy people trying to cut and take hers.
I had no clue what a falafel was but with Brittany’s back and forth with “you would like” “no you know what you probably wouldn’t” I had no clue if I even wanted to try it. Brittany took her first bite and her tongue soon hung out of her mouth as she tried to compose herself to what was a spicy first bite. Mission find water.
We were off again to find some water and stopped at another random stand. Brittany was hopping for filtered water but also knew coming from a stand it would most likely be that “delicious” Florida water. Luck was on her side and another place with non Florida ice water was added to our list.
I was adventurous and tried some falafel, it really wasn’t all that bad and it had a good spice to it. I just personally don’t think it would be my first choice of a snack to get.
While hanging out we had some nice visitors pass by
What I like to call “Come at me bro”
Our fastpass slot opened up to meet the boss man himself and his pretty lady.
They other lucky family who got fastpasses for Minnie and mickey weren’t aware that they also got fastpasses to be entertained by Brittany and I. You’re welcome lucky family!
With every beginning to a trip I always think about the trip video. I try to get some good video clip, while unfortunately the first day is pretty much the only day we took videos, meaning no video this time around. Sorry about that. However here is proof (thanks to screen shotting) of Brittany dancing to the music of adventurers outpost music loop.
How you feel when you’re about to meet the power couple
Those who adventure the world together, stay together. Just ask Mickey and Minnie
And then the funniest thing happened to me, more like an awkward moment, but story of my life. We were in the doorway before entering the room with Minnie and Mickey. Out of nowhere I feel someone touch my arm, not a simple “I touched you on accident” it was a more let me caress your arm. I turn around and there was a lady behind me who was literally dying of laughter. Her poor son thought I was her and he was so embarrassed.
After our cute little meet we were off to catch us a dino. There was quite the wait but that was to be expected in the afternoon in August. But the plus side is that it is all AC when you wait.
So we were just minding our own business listening to Bill Nye as we waited and that’s when it happens, the mother behind us decided to take a turn quicker and totally skip us. So I made a blockade because she left her teenage daughter behind us. She turned around and looked confused to why her daughter wasn’t with us, her daughter pushed her way through us and I just let it go.
So we get to merge and Brittany is literally stalking this poor CMs podium to see how it differs from Space. Clearly at this merge they have to count people because of the viewing room and Brittany was just so fascinated by that (attraction CM probs)
So we get in the viewing room, second group, because of the mother daughter duo. But not to fear 2 can play that game and I went straight to the doors, the mother looked back giving me a face that read “You’re cutting me” But it’s not cutting when 1)You’re taking your spot back and 2) when you exit the viewing room.
But after all this big hype over cutting one another we both ended up in the same isle.
Goodbye Discover Island its time for us to attack the rapids. Even before we got there Brittany suggested not using our fp for Kail because she wasn’t really looking forward to the whole getting wet thing. So I told her that I had my poncho in my bag as well as extra flip flops, we don’t usually do Kali for this reason and I was looking forward to it all day. We’re going on it! Or I’m going by myself. I somehow talked her into it and she geared up. But it was all for nothing because we didn’t even get wet, that is the worst feeling in the world. But I am grateful that I wasn’t standing in the sauna standby line because the outcome would have been even more tragic.
We used all our fps for the day and we decided to do something we have never done. We went to see dragons, bats and birds. On the path we met CM Josh who told us about the dragon, the Komodo dragon. The best thing I learned is that if he wanted to eat me 1) he could and 2) he would just chomp on me a little, watch me suffer and then eat me. All great things.
We thanked Josh for all his wonderful knowledge and facts then headed on our way through the path. Next up, bats!
We go in a little building that overlooks the bat home. Lets just talk about how CRAZY HUGE these bats were!
And then I found these little beauties
