Day 5!
Day 5 was an early morning! We were headed to a Breakfast ADR and Tusker House! Our ADR was actually for 8:05 am! Im not sure what possessed me to make an ADR that early!! But we really had not problems at all getting up, ready and out! I guess a pretty early night the night before helped!
So we were up and out to the bus stop shortly after 7:30! We waited a little while for a bus and when it arrived another family with 2 little ones also got on! They were also headed to Tusker House!
We had barely pulled out of the bus depot when we knew there was a problem!
The bus was making a horrendous noise and shacking violently! It was actually a little scary!
We didnt even pull out of Kidani and the bus stalled! Oh no! The driver kind of glided the bus to a stop and restarted it! We drove a little bit further and made it out of Kidani and it stalled again! Really?! This cant be good! But the driver started it up again and off we went!
A little further down the road and another stall! This time it wouldnt start again! There was a whole stream of bad words going through my mind!! Us your imagination!
In all my trips to WDW we had never been on a bus that broke down! I wonder how often that happens, I figure not very! But we wondered what was going to happen! We pictured walking in the cold to Jambo House, I pictured missing our ADR! Ugh!
We also saw SIL and BIL drive by us!!! Great!! Just great!!
But, Disney, being Disney, handled it fantastically and quickly! Within about 2 minutes of the driver calling in that we had broken down a road crew arrived to set up cones and flashing lights and an official looking CM boarded the bus, apologized profusely and promised that another bus was on its way to get us! Less them 5 minutes after that the new bus arrived and we were on our way!!
Woo hoo!
We got to the ADR turnstile at 8:05! We were going to be late but I really wasnt going to stress about it! It was beyond our control!
We got to Tusker House quickly and met Donald! Alexis was really digging the characters too much! But my kiddos always enjoy meeting Donald!
Our Tusker House breakfast was super yummy and meeting all of our favorite Disney characters was wonderful!
Like I said, Alexis wasnt too into the characters! She was usually ok unless they reached for her or tried to touch her! Poor baby!
(not sure what happened to the pics of my kiddos with Mickey!)
(not sure what happened to the Daisy pics either!)
After breakfast we headed out! DS8 and I really wanted to ride EE so we decided to head that way and try to get FP!
But first we stopped to play the drums
and then meet Pluto,
And meet King Louie and Baloo! (I love the Jungle Book!)
And look at a fabulous pair of ears at a kiosk! We actually came home with those last week!
When we finally got to EE we couldnt get FP! Because it was down!!! Just like in January!!! Booo!!! Our second attempt at riding EE had failed!
But DS was happy to head to the Dinosaur Playground! DH took the kiddos in while MIL, SIL and I headed to the ladies room and the shop near it! I didnt buy anything but I know MIL did, not sure what though!!!
When the kids were done playing we decided to head over the next Nemo show! SIL and BIL said they werent going to go because they didnt think Alexis would sit still for it! I offered to take her and walk around so they could see the show because I have seen it several times and I thought SIL would like it. But, they said no. Their loss! But they did take everyones tickets to go over to the safari and get FP!
On the way over to Nemo MIL asked me to take this picture! FIL carrying her purse! LOL!!
Pics of Nemo...
When we were done at the show DH called SIL and we had a little bit of time before our FP came due so we decided to head over and do the Pangani trail! I didnt take any pictures! Sorry!!!
We left the trail just in time for a quick bio break before our safari!!!
The Safari was great as usual!! Even though it was cold!!
After the Safari SIL, BIL and Alexis headed out (I think this was the most time they spent in a park the whole trip) and we headed to Maharajah Jungle Trek in search of Tigers for DS3!!!
continued next post...
on there not being any strawberry shortcakes out for breakfast - hope they have some when we go as am looking forward to tasting one 
. Where were your seats? What show did you go to with little ones?
Am glad you managed to get to AK safely. Love the pictures of Tusker House and the kiosk ears!
on there being no incidents.
In all our trips, we've only been on a bus that broke down once and that was when we went in 2005. We were on our way at the end of a long day to Pop Century and the bus was doing exactly what you said your's was doing. They couldn't have been better about it...it was cold and another bus was there within minutes. You gotta love Disney Magic
my favorite restaurant on property.....
Thanks!
