Next up was lunch. We walked back over toward Asia so Tim could pick something up at Yak & Yeti. We left him there then headed to Flame Tree and got food for the rest of us. By the time we had our food, Tim had found us and we tried to find a seat without birds.
After lunch we headed to Dinoland and rode Dinosaur & Primeval Whirl.
Notice the woman behind Tim who appears to be bored & reading her park map!
I think we rode Expedition Everest one more time before heading out. Sorry no pix.
I did make everyone stop for more PP pix on the way out.
So how was the 15th Anniversary? I think it was a little more crowded than it might have otherwise been but it wasnt mobbed by any means. There were some stations set up throughout the park with extra hands on learning opportunities. We also saw some side areas along the Pangani trail but didnt stop because we were feeling pressure to have lunch before it got busy. I asked about merchandise before we left and was told that most of it had either sold out already or had long lines (which I wasnt willing to wait in). We grabbed a couple extra maps and pins on the way out to share with some more friends later in the week.
When we got back to the room, we headed over to the Falls pool, which has the waterslide.
Some little friends:
We only swam/sunbathed for about an hour, then went back to the villa to get ready for dinner.
I only have one picture of the evening. The kids menu at Shulas.
The reason I took this picture is because Alex is 12. Next year hell be 13 and too old for the Sandcastle club.
When we picked the boys up from the club, Martha was on a break. Shes the woman who has worked there forever and has been there all three times the boys have visited. As we walked through the Beach Club, we ran into her. Alex ran up, gave her a hug and told he her wouldnt be able to come back. She told him that if shes still there, she would let him in and he should just say hes 12 next time.
(Of course Alex is way too much of a rule follower to every try that!)
As always, Tim & I really enjoyed our dinner at Shulas. Between the dinner ($197 AFTER TIW discount) and the kids club ($46), it does make for an expensive date night. After we picked up the boys, we took them to Beaches & Cream for some dessert. On our way back out to the car, I stopped in the B&C gift shop and bought a vintage Epcot zip up sweatshirt. It might be a mens sweatshirt but I love it and wear it a lot!
Thats it for Day 6. Up next
Meeting the Teacher.
