Sorry its been a while; Ive been really busy and am excited to finally have some down time to get back to writing and reminisce about our trip!
We got up the next morning and were in need of some nourishment before our day in the Animal Kingdom. As many of you know this is a particularly hot and tiring park. So of course that calls for a good breakfast of:
A delicious cheese danish, what else? Those are completely addicting and it is something about the cheese danishs in Disney World. They are on their own level.
The hubby continued his muffin fest with this little beauty:
A mango ginger muffin. He said that this muffin was good but very different. Apparently this is a tropical flavored muffin.
Next we were on our way to the Animal Kingdom. We had a busy morning but productive morning and managed to get on Expedition Everest, Kilimanjaro Safaris, Maharajah Jungle Trek and see a Flights of Wonder show all before lunch. This was without doing too much rushing too. The details and themes at this park are absolutely incredible and so creative. It is worth it to slow down and take it all in! The queues are worth waiting it just so that you can see all the details the Imagineers included. OK I am off my soapbox. On to the food!!
We had trouble deciding where we wanted to eat. For us it was a decision between Yak and Yeti counter service or Flame Tree Barbeque. We love both, but settled on Yak and Yeti. One thing I will say about Yak and Yeti is that the seating area gets hot. There is no indoor seating and if it is a real hot day it can be a bit much- at least for me. Luckily this was another nice day and not too hot at all. As we were waiting in line, studying the menu and discussing what we were going to eat, my DFIL asks I wonder what the Aslar chicken sandwich is like? I look at the Chef and he looks at me and we both have the same reaction. Aslar?? We very quickly and not very politely pointed out my DFILs mistake. It was an ASIAN chicken sandwich. Here is the menu of the Aslar sandwich.
Too funny. Poor DFIL, it will take a while for him to live that one down.
Next are our entrees. The Chef went with the Sweet and Sour Chicken.
He really enjoyed this, as I know he has before. I went with the Honey Chicken.
It was also tasty, however the one thing that I am still getting used to at Yak and Yeti is that they serve the meat on top of the rice in a take-out container like this:
So you kind of have to eat some of your meat until you get to the rice, or dig around a bit to find it.
We both went with the brownie for dessert:
The same weve been having all week, it was good enough. I cant remember if they offered an Asian style dessert but I feel like they should.
Finally it is worth noting the GIANT sodas they serve here:
There are many places that offer these huge sodas on the meal plan. I dont know if it was the stick in place of a straw that made the drink seem enormous or just my need for hydration and caffeine. Either way that giant soda hit the spot!
Lunch was yummy and gave us plenty of energy to finish up the Animal Kingdom and head back for some swimming. This was one of the many days that we also got a cheese fries snack at the CBR before the pool. Unfortunately I do not have a single picture of these fries!!

This must be because I only took my camera to the pool once or twice and it was not one of the times that we had cheese fries. However, they were yummy and they do count as a snack credit!! Delicious!! Plus it's me and it's cheese fries, so I was thrilled each time we got them!!
Up Next: Disappointment at Kouzzina and making up for it with snacks from the Boardwalk Bakery!
