Friday 11/13
Day 3
Part 1
Animal Kingdom

We didn't really have a plan for this day, so we decided it was a good morning for some Animal Kingdom!

We got dressed and went over to the POR's cafeteria place for some breakfast!

After a quick breakfast we hopped on the AK bus and took off.

Animal Kingdom wasn't that crowded, which is a good thing!

AK's tree:

The Tree of Life

As soon as we got there my dad got 5 FP's for this ride...

My dad and DB10 don't go on it, two other people just use their FPs

After we got the fast passes I saw an icecream car and decided to get some!
The kids each got our own and my parents shared one.
They were good

After our ice cream, we waited in line for the Saffari ride

We got on after about a 15 minute wait, which wasn't that bad

I took lots of pics of the animals we saw!

Hippos were the first ones we saw

And some Alligators

And some... I forgot what these are called

GIRAFFES!

This guy was in the middle of a different road!
He's the animal that looks like a baby, but really is a full grown adult!

These were the only elephants we saw

Flamingos

We passed the Lions rock thing but there were no lions available to see ):

After the ride it was time for our FP's!
My mom, DB12, and I got right on!
We were seated towards the front.
Best ride of the trip, well SO FAR it was.

Then, DB12 and I went on it again!
We got to sit towards the back this time.
Behind us there were some teenagers who apparently had never riden Everest before because once we came to the part where the rail ends they started freaking out yelling "What are we going to do?" and then they thought it was over once we got to the part where you're in the total darkness. The best part was when the Yeti came out one of the teenagers says "Hey look, it's the Yeti!" really excitedly and then zoom out of the darkness and the he's back there screaming his head off. And they totally weren't ready for the big DROP. They really amused us.

DB12 and I decided that sitting in the back on Everest was the best.

After our two time adventure up Mt. Everest we had lunch at one of my favorite CS places... Flame Tree BBQ!

Last time we went I had their salad, which was drop dead AMAZING, but this time I got the ribs, which were even better!

DB's and I got seats while mom and dad waited in line. When they came back, I was the only one who got a soda because the drink machine had broken. Normally I'd be the one who didn't get a soda. I guess I lucked out
This was the first place where we got Christmas Cups!

And the fancy chocolate dessert

Ribs (Dad, DB10, and I got them)

We got free french fires and onion rings because of the problems with the drink machine! Lucky us!

My mom got the yummy salad

DB12 got the fruit plate

It was probably my favorite meal out of them all!

Too funny about the yeti! Lunch looks good too! I wanted to eat at flame tree this trip but it was raining to hard so we just left AK and went to AKL.
Glad the holiday cups were out. On my trip there was no holiday napkins.
P.S- Holiday Disney world special on HGTV tonight at 7/central 8

I've missed so much being gone this weekend. First, love the Baby Yeti. So cute. Your Christmas Mickey ears are great. Pictures of the parade totally awesome. It's like I was right there watching. Thank you. You were certainly busy.

I love EE. I could ride that many times over. Such fun.

Hope your Thanksgiving was grand.

Aw how cute was Goofy!! I bet Sonny must've had a hot date!! That's such a great surprise!! What a treat!!

That stinks that you lost your voice!! I'm glad it wasn't completely gone for long!!

Your AK day is looking so great!! Man, I wish I could ride EE right now!! That'd be SO great!

 

[MICKEY4EVER!]

Hi, Sara! I'm all caught up! Whew! I missed a lot while I was gone.

Loved the Minnie Christmas Ears, and loving that you didn't have long waits for anything, especially TSM.

Your MVMCP pictures turned out so good. Bummer about your voice!!!! I've only done that once in my whole life and it stinks to have no voice. Especially when your job is to answer phones and talk to the public.

Looking forward to more!!!!

boy! flametree BBQ really looks good...(can you tell its getting close to dinner time )
that is too cute about the EE ride w/the virgin riders...
and the Christmas cups were too cute!
sounds like a great day!!! at AK

 

[buzz for boys]

Loving your trippie !!!

 

[hkrox]

I got a really random question cuz I'm not sure if I'm thinking of the right restaurant. Does flame tree barbecue have like a million different areas to eat? Cuz I remember last time I was there my sister went and got a table and then I went back to find my parents. And then I couldn't find where she was for the life of me and it started pouring rain and it was just really bad.

I think so.
There's lots and lots of different sections you can pick... there's some by the lake, there's some up higher, there's some in the middle of no where. Haha, I have no idea how I didn't get lost! That stinks that it started raining on you!

Great AK update!

Flame Tree looks delicious, though. i definitely have to try it next trip!

Day 3
Part 2
Animal Kingdom & EPCOT

After lunch at Flame Tree BBQ, Mom, DB's and I went over to Dinoland and waited a few minutes to ride Primevil Whirl (my dad waited for us to get off)

(the sun was in their eyes')

Then just the kids went on the Dino ride that's just like Dumbo, but with Dinosaurs

After that the boys all went home and my mom and I stayed at rode Dinosaur, since nobody else had wanted to.

After that we left AK too and headed back for POR.

Once we were all together, we decided to go to EPCOT.

The first thing we did was Mission:Space (green card). We did the less intense green card because this was DB10's first time going on. Again, my dad had waited outside of the ride for us to go on. He can't do virtual things and things that spin. I like Mission:Space, but after a while it gets old. You're sitting in a seat watching a screen. In the orange, more intense your really feeling the g-force. But, DB10 didn't want to do the orange one, he kept on saying he wanted to do the green one. Luckily, we went over to Test Track instead, where there was a 30 minute wait for EPCOT. Probably because everyone who didn't have EMH had to leave by that time. Test Trach was awesome, as it always is.

 

[hkrox]

You're right....Test Track is always awesome. That's like one of my favorite rides.
