We headed back to the hotel for a few to freshen up and get ready to head to DTD for our dinner at Raglan Road. I was really looking forward to this meal, and even more excited that the night was going to be clear!
We didnt wait long for our table. We had the salt and pepper calimari as an appetizer and I had the fish and chips. DH had the "its not bleeding chowder" and a Guinness, I had a bud light. No pictures, but the food was execellent!
I for the life of me cannot remember dessert. I do know that for some reason I didnt finish much of my dinner. Was hungry when I ordered, but not once I started eating, if that makes sense! But it was good!
After dinner we strolled around DTD some more.
These guys (gals?) were pretty entertaining!
I bought a hat at DTD, and DH bought a pin set. I really wanted the Dooney wristlet, but decided to wait until later in the trip to see if I still wanted it.
We headed back to our resort and after our nightly routine of browsing the gift shop, refilling our mugs, we were in for the night. We had a big day planned for tomorrow!
Up bright and early for Animal Kingdom! I was super excited for this park. It had not been built when I came on my wish trip, and I love animals. I also love roller coasters so EE was calling my name!
No bus stop pics this morning. We were rather optimistic with out attire though. It was suppossed to be in the upper 60's today. We decided to wear shorts and T's. A mother and daughter in front of us at the bus stop had on sweatshirts, jeans, the works. We struck a conversation and learned they were from Texas and were freezing. Us Northerners were loving this warm weather. Granted it was in the low 50's at the bus stop, we were sure it would warm up. Espeically with the reputation AK has for being a hot park.
This park at EMH. I bet we arrived around 830. We headed straight back to the safari. We only had about a 10 min wait before boarding our safari vehicle. The safari was awesome! I won't bore you will a 100 pics. Only one good one!
We headed towards Asia after our 2 week ride was cut short. Look who we saw along the way...
Devine! Very cool!
Asia was next! I know we grabbed some fries on our way. What a great breakfast
. Finally I reached EE and rode in the single rider line. By a twist of Disney Magic i was seated with a woman about my moms age. She was with her husband and daughter. I explained that my DH didnt do rollar coasters. We had an awesome ride together! I jumped over to the fastpass lines right after and ended up in line behind my ride partners. After their fast passes came out, 2 extras came out. He grabbed them, turned around and handed them to me! Awesome pixie dust! Now i have 3 Fast passes to use!
Dinoland was next. We didnt do anything here. Looked around mostly. I do regret not riding Dinosaur, and cannot remember why we didnt. Most likely because we were hungry. We headed to Flame Tree BBQ. I was really looking forward to this after all the awesome reviews! It did not dissappoint! I had the pulled pork sandwich and DH had the chicken. I espeically liked the seating areas. Well shaded, not crowded together, and really serene. We found a table with an awesome view of EE, and beside a water feature. The ducks however, would not leave us alone. They were pretty aggressive lol!
We went back towards the tree of life after lunch. Here is out photopass photog. pic.
At this point we wondered back to camp minnie mickey.
We had no intentions of seeing any shows in the park. DH didnt really express any interest, and since this was our only AK day, I wanted to get the other stuff done. We decided at this point that we were cold. Chilly. We were going to make the trip back to the resort to change into some warmer clothes since we were intending on staying at the park a little longer. Back to the bus stop we went. We took this picture on the way out.
It was amazing the temperature difference once we got back to the resort. It was at least 5 degrees warmer. I put on jeans and a sweatshirt jacket, and DH put on jeans. We headed back to AK and were much more comfortable. It is amazing. I can see how this park would hold onto the heat, but it also succeeded in holding onto the morning chill. It never got above about 60 degrees. I wanted to ride Kali, but we decided not to so we wouldnt freeze all day!
ITTBAB was next. It was a super cute show! We both loved it! We went to use our fast passes for the safari that we had grabbed after our first ride. This one was ok. We had a much better guide the first time, and I think we had better animal views. I went over and used my second fast pass of EE. Still just as fun as the first time, and my seat mate was very nice!
My seat mate and I both are wearing white, and very excited!
I used my 3rd fastpass, had another great ride, and decided to give my 4th fast pass to the girl I had ridden with. She was pretty excited! It felt good to pass along some of my own pixie dust!
DH had grabbed a fastpass while he was waiting for me to ride so I could keep one as a souvineer. I wanted Icecream from the ice cream truck. We waited probably 2o mins for 2 waffle cones. They were worth it! We were ready to leave the park for the day. We had a ADR to get to, and wanted to have plenty of time to get there. Mickeys Jingle Jungle Parade was in full swing as we were leaving. We caught a few of the last floats before heading out. We had a great AK day! 3 rides on EE, 2 KS, ITTBAB, We did the Pagagni Trail, and had an awesome lunch, all before 4 pm!
Where are my eyes? lol
Next: Le cellier...Epcot, and will we make our ADR?!?
, DH got a full time job and therefore we all went thru another shift change, we finally had our wedding reception 2 weekends ago, and I started helping out a friend who opened a restaurant here in town, OH and we moved! Very insane. BUT back to your TR!
MMMM..
Super excited.
rotfl2
