Conclusion of Day 4...... BOMA=INCREDIBLE!
We had reservations at BOMA for 7:10. We wanted to arrive early because I read on the DIS that the check in process is long. We also wanted to check out the Animal Kingdom Lodge and the grounds. We caught a bus from POP to the Animal Kingdom around 5:20. We got to the Animal Kingdom and got in line for the AKL. Abus came rather quickly and by 6:00 we were at the AKL. It is a little strange when you walk in because the lobby is HUGE here is the only picture I have of it
My first impression of the AKL wasn't that great it seemed so chaotic and just way to big to get oriented. When you enter, you are on the 3rd floor (I think) then you have to go down the stairs to BOMA. The atmosphere down here is wonderful , noisy, but wonderful. We tried to check in early but were told we couldn't so we sat for a few minutes. Here are the boys and I waiting...........
Notice the pirate theme continued from this morning into the evening! Both boys are wearing t-shirts we bought them the day before at the World of Disney in DTD!
The boys by some statues.........
After a few minutes we decided to walk around the resort a little bit. So we wondered outside to the area called Victoria Falls and took these pictures...
The boys being silly!
This is my favorite picture of the trip! You can't see it but there was an animal right below the fence and they held hands because the were afraid!
Then we walk out a little further and Bryan says "the battery for the camera died"

Are you kidding me? I was sooo excited to take tons of pictures on this night and it was not gonna happen!
We did walk around and I have to say this resort is BEAUTIFUL! Everything seems so peaceful and being able to see the animals so close up was incredible! Finally we go inside and check in and are seated within 10 minutes!
This was by far our favorite restaurant of the entire trip! The service was tremendous although it was a buffet. The atmosphere and the willingness of the waiters to explain each of the dishes was just excellent! The decor is beautiful too! You'll have to take my word for it because as you know we had NO camera at this point

. The food was absolutely incredible!

I was so nervous that it would be weird but it was awesome! I had some african herb spiced chicken that was great. I had coconut curried soup, sounds yucky but was delicious. We had falafels that were to die for, the were covered in this creamy yogurt tasting sauce.We tried different kinds of salads that were all yummy too! Bryan loved the wood cooked meats! They had tons of different breads with hummus that was also very yummy. They had chocolate mousse that had some alcohol in it that was insanely good!

But the absolute best thing died and went to heaven were ZEBRA DOMES I had 8!

They too have alcohol in them but the taste isn't as strong with them as it was with the mousse. The Domes have like a peanut butter/chocolate taste they were AMAZING!

We stuffed our faces and so did the boys!

We just loved everything about it and it was such a terrific way to end such a fun and magical day!
Coming up a crazy day at Epcot....... Bryan, where are the kids?
