January 1st 2010
Today we were off to Animal Kingdom with both sets of parents. The night before we had agreed to meet at 9am outside the Rainforest Café, Mikes mum had even written it down so she wouldnt forget. We pulled into the car park and found my parents were in the car park space 1 car along from us. We strolled over to the meeting point and took some photos by the Christmas tree, the photopass CM mustnt have scanned our card properly as those photos never appeared on our account so Ill never know what was in the gift box I was given to hold.
By 9.15am the sun was trying to shine but wed not heard from Mikes parents so he gave them a call on their mobile expecting them to say they were in the car park, nope they were at their hotel having breakfast. I was so furious, my parents who were both feeling under the weather had got here on time why couldnt they, I did feel bad for DH though as he must have been feeling embarrassed by them. So his parents say we did call you and left you a message, they called our hotel room and left a message there, do you remember me telling you about the fuss his mum made about getting a new mobile phone so she could phone us in the states and yet they decide to ring the hotel phone and dont think to ring our mobile. We listened to the message theyd left when we got back that evening, the message said So whats the plan for today? WHATS THE PLAN!!! Its the same plan we talked about last night and which you wrote down so you wouldnt forget. After Mike got off the phone telling his parents to ring him when they arrived we headed into the park and straight to the safari. I hadnt been sure how busy the park would be today, on one hand people might have been sleeping in after a late night last night or they could have been making the most of the last few days of their holiday, it turned out that the park was quiet all day. So we got onto the safari with no wait, I love seeing the animals and so does DH.
We then headed to get some breakfast just as the heavens opened and it started to pour with rain. We sat undercover by the Dawa Bar and this is where Mikes parents met us. We finished our breakfast and the rain eased off but it continued to rain on and off all day. We suggested to Mikes parents that they go on the safari and wed go and see Its Tough to be a Bug, which is what we did.
Next we headed to see Flights of Wonder but sadly due to the weather they cancelled it so we headed to see festival of the Lion King instead, this was Mikes mums favourite attraction of the trip she told me later. Straight from one show onto another, this time it was Nemo, its not my favourite thing but it was inside.
After this my parents decided to leave for the day as they both still had a cold and the damp weather wasnt helping. We headed to get some lunch at Pizzafari then onto the Pangani Trail. About half way through this DH and I said goodbye to his parents and left the park as we had to return our hire car. Mikes parents stayed in the park and I know they visited the other trail and went on the train before leaving.
It was really easy to return our hire car at the car care centre and then Alamo dropped us off at the Poly. We hung around the hotel and then got ready for our ADR at Boma with both sets of parents. My parents picked us up as we no longer had a car.
Not sure when this photo was taken so Ill pop it in now as Im a bit short on photos today!
We were seated quite quickly and everyone ordered drinks, I asked for a Very Berry Punch cocktail but got asked for ID and I had none on me, my Mum was not at all impressed by this but I understood. Everyone really enjoyed their meal and we made arrangements for the next day. After this morning we just told both sets of parents to ring us when they arrived at the Magic Kingdom and wed tell them where we are.
