Chipmunks, Yeti, and a Duck...Oh My!
We were headed out of Rafiki's Planet Watch ready to get back on the train. But first, Luke saw something that he insisted we do. He may not have known Rafiki, but he recognized Chip and Dale and he wanted to see them! What is a parent to do? So we hopped in line and waited about 10 minutes before we were visiting those mischievous chipmunks!
Clearly Luke loves Chip the best! After our visit, we tore Luke away from his friends and got back on the train. Before long, we disembarked and were passing this beautiful view:
Next we headed over to one of our favorites to come face to face with a Yeti! We used rider swap and took turns riding.
We loved our expeditions and were able to narrowly escape the Yeti by employing an evasive reverse maneuver. Sometime during our rides, Luke drifted off to sleep. We decided to start leisurely walking towards our favorite quick service restaurant to get some lunch. We absolutely love Flame Tree Barbecue! I honestly think my dad would be happy if we only ate here and at Le Cellier! I am bummed that it doesn't look like it will be open for our May trip. Originally, the dates had it reopening before we went, but it has been pushed back. I guess we will be forced to try something new.
On our way to some delicious barbecue, we came across a Photopass photographer so we had to stop!
I was super excited to see that last one when we got home! I love the magic shots, and we had never seen that one. Plus, since we didn't have to do a special pose, I had no idea it was going to be a magic shot until I saw it! Super cute photobomb.
Before long we were carrying our yummy meals to a table with a nice view!
This restaurant is an awesome value on the dining plan since it is more expensive than lots of other quick service places and it is a lot of food! Plus it is one of the few quick service places that accepts Tables in Wonderland, so I'm pretty excited about that. During lunch Luke woke up, so we all shared our food with him and I supplemented that with some other snacks I had packed.
With our bellies full, we were ready to hit up our next area! But on our way, there was a cast member advertising a 5 minute wait to see Daisy. We couldn't pass that up! Shortly after we got in line, Daisy had to take a break, so the wait ended up being more like 15 minutes. But it was totally worth it. Luke loved her!!!
He was so smitten with her and he was flirting big time! This was such an awesome meet!
Up next: more Animal Kingdom fun!
