Day 4:
It was Monday...early entry day for Animal Kingdom. We got a early start, but the bus service was slow and we got there after the gates were opened..what a zoo of people...it was very crowded and hot there. I determined it was hotter because of the narrow walkways that force people to be close together and there was no breeze. We did the safari first and then went and saw the gorillas.
We went to the Tusker House for lunch and it was very good. First time we have eaten there. We went about 11 or so.
Left AK around 1 after the Kali River ride and Whirl. Went over to the Animal Kingdom Lodge. Pretty nice place, but to tell the truth, I like the Wilderness Lodge better....just a personal preference..
Went back to WL and got ready for dinner. We had a PS for Ohana, it was our 25th wedding anniversary... It was our first time there...we all prefered the turkey...the shrimp were kind of dry...but we had plenty to eat, plus we got 20% off with DS's cast member discount...that saved a bunch there...
Day 5:
Decided to go to MK this morning...pixie dust was flying for us..we decided to take a bus to the TTC rather than the boat and since were the only one's to get on, the driver said he would run us down to the park..how nice of him....I wish they would have bus service as well as the boat...it was real quick ride...he turned the "Special" sign on...
Did all the Fantasyland rides at MK since it was E-ride night and we would do the big ones later..
Left MK and went to Epcot around 4 and sure enough....another ride on Mission Space...got only one turn this time, cause it broke down or something.....went on monorail to the MK and then got on the resort monorail and went to Poly. Went to Kona Cafe for crab cakes and their creme brulee....this creme bruelee was the best of all we had...so good you wanted to smack someone...thought about licking the bowl...it had bananas in the crusty top...it was so delicious....we highly recommend it...it scored a 10 on our list...
Went on to MK around 7 and got our armbands....had a little rain but it stopped...went over to Hall of Presidents to kill some time and while waiting for the show, my DS pointed out that the coach of the Tampa Bay Bucs was waiting to...sure enough, it was Jon Gruden and his family...a CM was with them...I started to go complain about him not running out the clock when i had the winning score in the office pool....lol...but my DS did go and say hi..he was very nice and my DS didnt take much of his time...So that was my celebrity of the trip..
Did E-night....was more crowded than usual...did anyone else go July 1?....last year it wasnt bad at all..but this time, it just seemed more busy...had to wait 20 minutes for Space Mountain...never did that before on E-night. We got tired about 12:15 and went on back to the WL....the bed felt so good that night....but we had fun and lots of good memories...

2 of the cars got too close together and that automatically shut the ride down, CM's had to walk the track and they of course couldn't restart it until all of the CM's were back.
