. In the last post I gave you one hint about what we have in store for day 4. It starts off with the only place in the world (The whole world) where I willfully drink coffee...
Anyway, can't wait to finish reading, and give it a proper browse. 
The proposal was so cute! And, great pictures! 
I totally think you'll be fine in Epcot, especially where you guys won't be doing too many of the rides. We usually start in Canada, though I have gone the other way around and started off in Mexico...it doesn't really matter where you start off though. We really like the Japan pavilion, and if you start in Canada you're closer to that one 
If you haven't tried anything from the bakery in France, I highly recommend you guys make a quick stop in there and try a few things...you won't be disappointed 
You can check out my TR if you want...I don't quite remember how much detail I went into on that day though, it was almost a year ago
Lovin' it so far! Kinda been breezing through since I have to catch my bus in, oh...2 minutes.
and bringing the popcorn Awesome plans so far
I had the slider plate in Morocco at the Tangerine Cafe last May, and it was really good...I don't remember what my fiance had off the top of my head, but I remember her liking my food better
Also, I think it's great you upgraded to a preferred room at the POP. It will be a nice connivence (and will get you closer to the tie-dye cheesecake)
...I'll do anything to get me closer to the Tie-Dye Cheesecake! Although I wish the Art of Animation standard rooms would be open when we go in August. I would give up the cheesecake for that in a heartbeat!
I'm one step closer to being a doctor! 
Soundtrack: WE SWIM!
Wow it's been a while since I've updated my PTR or even posted on the DIS! It's been a very hectic month so far. Before I start with Day 5 of our PTR I'd like to give a few updates...
1. I passed that exam from a few weeks ago
2. Jess's and I's weight loss is going great. I'm at 13 pounds loss and I am loving the Weight Watchers plan. We've started walking 3 weeks ago, partly to prepare for a 5K walk in June but also to be in top shape for Disney!
3. We found an apartment in the town where I grew up to move in together! I am so happy to be moving back there after two years away. I'll be driving down there tomorrow to sign the lease.
I think that's it for the life updates. Now it's time to talk Disney.
Day 5: Animal Kingdom!
I'm going to start this post with a question. Should we book breakfast at Tusker House? As of now we have an early supper at Yak and Yeti and the Wishes Dessert Party that night but I'm worried that the supper will take away our appetite so I am considering getting breakfast instead and then sharing a QS for supper. Any advice would be appreciated.
The plan for Day 5 is to make it to AK for Rope Drop but once there I don't know which way we are going to go.
Option 1: Head straight to the Safari
I like going to the Safari early because it means that the animals are going to be more active. On our last trip we got to see the male lion walking around and the giraffe's where all over the place. BUT! the safari is out of the way of our other must do's
Do you mind? I'm trying to eat here.
Option 2: Expedition Everest, Primeval Whirl and DINOSAURS
This it the touring plan that we followed for our first day in AK last year. I love getting to these big three rides done early and then riding Safari with a fastpass early in the day. It also leaves us in a great position to go see the first showing of Flights of Wonder.
See you in 2 weeks!
I'm not scared of you...yet!
On our last trip this wasn't an issue since we had two days in AK but this time we only have 1 and a half. I think that we will take our first afternoon in the park to get the big three rides done and then go straight to Safari at Rope Drop.
Once the day get's started there are a few more must do's:
* Get a picture of the Yeti: For some reason I love taking pictures on EE (No flash of course).
Running away from the yeti.
*See Jess be scared on Dinosaurs: before riding Dinosaurs for her first time I warned Jess that it was quite intense and she answered: "I don't understand how it can be intense if it's not a roller coaster" and then she yelled during the whole time we where traveling through time. I LOVED IT!
*Flights of Wonder: I'm a big biology nerd so I love animals especially birds. This is a great show and I love trying to take good pictures of the birds. They are too quick for me most of the time though.
*See the vets working at Rafiki's Planet Watch: I know that if you are at RPW at the right time of the day you might get to see the vets doing surgery or doing a checkup on the animals. I would love to get to see this.
*See Finding Nemo the Musical: We where dissapointed with the lack of Lion King themed things in Disney (it is Jess's favorite movie) but we expected the Festival of the Lion King to make up for it (it didn't) but the Finding Nemo Musical is amazing! The puppets are mind blowing and of course I love the story.
Definitely broadway quality!
* Walk the exploration trails: No much to stay about this except that I'm afraid that in the summer heat we won't be able to enjoy these like we would like. They are long walks when it feels like you are on fire.
*SEE THE PARADE!!! We missed it last time but I've since heard it is the best parade.
*Stop and enjoy the sights and sounds: Cheesy but true
Cast member's singing to welcome us to Animal Kingdom. What a way to start the day!
Did you know that the structure of the tree is actually an oil rig?
After our day at AK we are making the long trek up to the Magic Kingdom for the Tomorrowland Terrace Dessert Party. We loved this experience! For us it is definitely worth the price to have reserved seating and unlimited desserts!
Here's a view from our seat.
Thanks for reading! Looking forward to hearing from y'all!
) it's pretty much time for the park to open and you can head over to the safari, or to EE for FP's if that's what you'd prefer. We did the safari first...
I made an ADR for the earliest time still available for that morning (at Tusker House) but I'll keep looking to see if something closer to 8:00 opens up. I love getting into the parks before everyone else!Congrats on passing your exam, and for the success with Weight Watchers!!!
I highly recommend the Safari Breakfast at the Tusker House. The biggest reason I like it is because if you can get a spot right at 8am, you'll be in the park before it opens, giving you a huge advantage over the guests that can't get in until 9. Now, you can't go on rides until 9, but by the time you're done your breakfast (which was awesome when we were there last year
My cousins did the dessert party after having a TS meal for supper, and they regretted it because they were still full from their meals. That being said, they would give it another try, but on a more empty stomach.
No matter how you choose to divide up your time, it sounds like your AK day(s) will be awesome!
Congratulations on passing your exam!! Congratulations to both of you on your weight loss successes and the new apartment too.
To answer your question: For me personally, I would book Tusker House breakfast (which I have not done but heard great things about) and cancel the Yak & Yeti. As much as I want to eat at Y&Y, and prefer a big dinner to a big breakfast, I would want to make sure I wasn't too full to properly enjoy the desserts at the Wishes party.

We did the Dessert party last year and I didn't eat very much but that might of been because I was nervous about proposing haha!
Btw Congrats on finishing your B.A
Even if you're not done until 9:30, you'll still be deep in the heart of Africa before a lot of people have a chance to make their way back there I have a feeling you'll be able to enjoy the desserts at the dessert party a little more this time
