Friday the 16th was an early morning. We had an 8:00AM breakfast at Tusker House. We rolled out of bed, got our coffee, hit the bus and were at the AK gate around 7:40 AM. The security guard said someone would be down shorts to check us in and open the gates. We ended up being the first to enter and proceeded to Tusker House. We were first in line again and Donald was just arriving. DD got an extra few moments with Donald before they got our picture (we asked them to take one with our camera also and they did). We were seated and told how everything worked and that it would be a little while before the characters came around. DD loved the characters. A few of them seemed to stop and really take time with DD, while a few others just kind of flew by. Goofy in particular seemed to really enjoy DD and spent a while with her. I cant say this would be a breakfast we did again. We didnt seem to have any problems meeting the same characters, in the same clothing in Camp Mickey and Minnie. And while the food was good, DH and I didnt think it was anything special.
After breakfast we shot out to the safari, we were the second family to enter the queue. We saw a ton of animals! I really recommend getting on the safari first thing in the AM. We rode the train over to Rafikis Planet Watch and spent a while in there looking around, but not much for toddlers. So we left and headed to Find Nemo! About 5 minutes in DD fell asleep, DH and I finished the show and we headed back to Pop for a nap.
When we woke up I was not feeling good at all. I think the heat and lack of sleep really caught up to me. I dont really remember what we did, I assume we hit the pool for a bit. We had dinner ADRs at Whispering Canyon at 6:30PM. Around 5 we took a bus to the MK and rode the boat over to WL. We made our way to WCC, we were a bit early and stopped to talk to a DVC CM. I have been working on DH for a few years, that someday we will be DVC. Well, after talking to the CM, DH is sold! The ability to spend the points on other locations besides WDW is the seller! The cruise and DL and such. So someday we will be DVC!
I still wasnt feeling well, but we checked-in and waited only a few minutes. We were seated and both ordered the skillets and chocolate milkshakes. Thank goodness for the Milkshake, it was DELICIOUS! I barely ate anything, but I did manage to drink 2 shakes and get harassed by our waiter. After dinner, we went into the gift shop and grabbed some medicine for me to take. DH really wanted to run back to DTD to grab something (I forgot what) that he had passed up the other night, so I sucked it up and we hit DTD for a few. We werent there long and headed back to Pop and bed.
I can still taste those milkshakes! YUMMY! I'll take one right now please!
