We were up at 7:30 today and just over an hour later we set off to drive down to Budget at Port Canaveral to pick up my driving licence.

It seems that with all the panic over the 'lost' credit card I had dropped my licence in the parking lot and somebody had handed it in, but unfortunately not until after we had left. Once I had collected it we made our way back and went straight to Animal Kingdom, arriving around 11:20.

We were too late for the next Festival of the Lion King show so we wandered up to Kilimanjaro Safaris and got fast passes for 12:15 - 1:15 and then wandered back to Pizzafari where we had an Italian style sandwich and a Coke each.

After lunch we walked round to FOTLK for the 12:30 show and they were opening the doors just as we got there. We were in the lion section this time and enjoyed the show as much as always - I still get goose bumps when the bird 'flies' during Can You Feel The Love Tonight.

Once the show had finished we went back to Kilimanjaro Safaris and got there at about 1:12, just in time to use our fast passes.

At the end of the safari we wandered back through the park, looking in the shops on the way and left the park, getting back to AKL at about 2:30.

We sat in the room for a while and as the wifi was a bit flaky we decided to see if it was better in the lobby, but after sitting down there for a while we found it still kept cutting out so we had a look around the gift shop and then went back upstairs.

Just before 6:00 we went out to tonight's restaurant of choice, which was Steak 'n Shake where Dad had a chicken melt with a mocha milkshake and I had a pepper jack melt. We had intended to go to Downtown Disney afterwards but when we got there and found that most of the parking lots were already full we decided to give it a miss and went back to AKL instead.

We had a wander out back and had a look at the animals.

Then we went upstairs to relax before going to bed at 10:30 ready for a day of shopping and Magic Kingdom tomorrow.

Day 12
 
Lovely day (once you had recovered your driving licence).

We really like Steak n Shake - where is the nearest one to WDW?

The nearest one I know of is on state road 535 - that's the one we go to. As you approach Crossroads coming from Downtown Disney you turn left and it's just a short drive down on the right hand side. The address is:

12163 S. Apopka-Vinland Rd.
Orlando, FL 32836

A pain having to drive all that way for your licence but at least you've got it back.

Lovely photos. :)
 
Oooo good photos. I hate looking for a space at DTD when the lots are busy.... Mmmm steak and shake... love those duo shakes!
