[Continued from Previous Post]
When the show finished our FP for the safari was up. It really wasn't necessary and our wait was probably longer for the scooter line. But within about 20 minutes we were on our safari.
And no lion at all, it was too darned hot!
We were pretty wiped out after all that so we headed out to the bus stop.
We stopped in the front area to look at some animals that were a little more active than the last time we walked through here. There was this animal that we had looked at earlier, it was some kind of a pig or warthog. Alberto seemed to have a special bond with it and Jim captured this on film.
There was a wilderness lodge bus at the stop, so I motored ahead to try and catch it, but just as I got within about 10 yards of the bus it pulled away! We got in line and I didn't time out our wait, but two busses for Saratoga Springs came and went before we saw another WL bus. When it finally came the driver packed it to the gills and we took off just in time for another WL bus to pull up behind it. By this time it was almost quarter to 6PM.
When we got back to the lodge, I ran a brush quickly through my hair, and was ready to go. I had called Fran ahead of time and told her to be dressed and ready to go, and she was!
We went down to the lobby and could tell who our friend was because he was the one on his cell phone pacing and fretting. We’re also friends on FB so we had seen a few pictures of him as well.
It was great to put a face to all the texts and many phone calls over the last three years. And this November I'll even be able to say that I'm friends with an Imagineer!
He and his lady friend had dinner reservations at Artist Point where we dined the night before, so after our drinks, Fran and I headed back to the room. I heated up our leftovers for dinner for all of us. We had Prime Ribeye, Pork Ribs, some of that peppered thick cut bacon, onion rings, creamed spinach, crispy tubers, and three kinds of bread, whole grain, sesame loaf and cornbread. Not a bad spread for leftovers!
As most of you who have followed along know, when Fran hits the wall and goes back to the room, I usually join her. I usually don't have friends along who keep me in the parks and tire me out. So when I started to fade at the dinner table again this night, Jim and Alberto offered to do the dishes and clean up. I think it was 9:30 and I was out like a light.
Contest!!!!!!!
1. What do we do for breakfast the next morning? (10 points)
Eat hot breakfast in the room (Bonus points if toast, eggs or bacon are mentioned) Points were given for the fact that we ate breakfast in the room (2), the clue you were given was that it was supposed to be a leisurely morning, so this was the one I had planned to make bacon and eggs, a must on WDW vacations in a villa with a kitchen!
2. How long do we wait for the bus? (10 points)
3 minutes
3. It was supposed to be a leisurely morning, but negotiations occurred and plans changed. What park do we go to? (10 points)
AK
4. Lunch is at a resort, what is the restaurant? (10 points)
Sanaa
5. All our FP+ are for the afternoon. Do we make it to the park to use them all? (10 points)
No
6. What do we do for dinner? (10 points)
Reheated Leftovers, many of you guessed “Cook in the villa” and I gave 2 points for that, but the key word I was looking for was “Leftovers”. Because technically all we did was reheat and not actually cook. I did give a hint of this when we went to the steakhouse. “We had to take most of this home, but it made for some awesome leftovers in our villa.” Post #110
