We left R & M with the plan to meet up at the pool, so after enjoying our snacks we suited up and headed down. They still weren’t down there, and the snacks weren’t quite enough to satisfy my appetite so we stopped in the Mara for the first time to get a veggie flatbread and some fries to split. R & M showed up while we were waiting and ordered some items as well. M had a chicken flatbread and R had a chicken gyro which I missed getting photos of, sorry. We all enjoyed the food very much.
M had the excellent idea to bring a soda from the CL so after we finished our food we left R & M to go grab some drinks for everyone. As luck would have it the desserts were out so of course we had to grab some.
This little beauty was absolutely divine. It tasted like the inside of a key lime pie. Unfortunately we only got one each.
We took the drinks and some cookies down to R & M and after they had finished their dinner we headed over to the pool and grabbed some lounge chairs. This was my third trip to Jambo House and my first time in the pool. The first visit was in January and just too cold, and the second we just never made time for it. Well I had been looking forward to cooling off in the pool for a few hours so jumped right in. And jumped right out. I was freezing. Shivering freezing. I couldn’t stop my teeth from chattering freezing. I wrapped myself up in a towel and just had to find a hot tub to warm up in. R & M jumped in and said the water was fabulous, they couldn’t figure out what was wrong with me. In afterthought I was actually suffering from a fever that the crab pastry had brought on. Mom came with me on my hot tub hunt and the first one we came across was full of people so we continued on to the next one. We came across the poolside movie for the first time, The Muppet Movie, which I really wanted to stop for but was just too cold. We continued on to the second hot tub and there were unfortunately people occupying that one as well. Mom spied a giraffe on the savannah so we went to the outlook to watch it, and stumbled upon some CMs doing the night vision goggles. Also a first for us. Since there was no one else using them they gave us both a pair to use. Apparently it’s only one pair per group but you can use them for an hour. We didn’t stay for long, I was very very cold, but it was very magical watching the giraffe in the night.
We walked back to the first hot tub and despite the crowds we went in. I finally got comfortable. There was a family enjoying the heat as well and I asked them if they were enjoying the resort. Turns out they were also
DVC members and we had a good long wonderful chat. I didn’t want to stop chatting so stayed in the heat a bit too long. They were at the end of a three week stay and I’m hoping we convinced them to try
DCL sometime soon. We sang its praises so well they thought we worked for Disney. I absolutely love finding people who love Disney just as much as I do, which is why I enjoy being on the DIS so much.
R & M found us and joined us for a while but then said goodnight because the heat was too much for them. We left shortly after that, we were all getting a bit toasty.
I suffered with a fever most of the night and thankfully it resolved itself by morning. I will be avoiding anything with crab much more seriously from now on. I get out of bed around 7:20 and caught my first Disney sunrise.
Mom woke up with me opening the curtains so we got ready and went out to get some breakfast.
