Dates: Sept. 30-Oct. 10
Cast: Karen (Mom, 38), Brian, (Dad, 37), Emily (10 3/4), Noah (6 3/4), Halle (3 11/12), Joel (2)
Wednesday morning: Mickey wakeup call at 7am. Drove to Animal Kingdom because we had Boma PS at 7pm. Stopped at a cart where Brian bought a hat for himself. Had long line waiting for opening. Headed back towards the safari, stopping to see Lilo and Stitch. Were able to walk onto the safari with next to no wait. Saw lots of animals. Stopped near the bathrooms in Africa to listen to the drummers; kids really enjoyed watching and participating with them. Then we headed to Dinoland. I rode Dinosaur with Emily while Brian took the others to the Boneyard. We pretty much walked on. It was our first time riding it. While I wouldn't call it scary, I certainly didn't like it enough to want to ride it again. By the time we finished up there, it was time to head for our 12pm PS at Rainforest Cafe. Food was so-so there... and the restaurant was COLD!
After lunch we headed back to Dinoland. Brian rode Dinosaur with Emily while I took the 3 younger ones to Triceratops Spin. Would have pretty much walked on, but there was a repair to be made to one of the levers, so we had to wait for that to be fixed. We were just getting settled onto the ride when Brian and Em arrived from Dinosaur. Once we got off of there, those 2 took Noah with them to try Primeval Whirl. They all enjoyed it a lot. We headed to It's Tough to Be a Bug next. Halle kept her eyes covered for most of it. Joel laughed through most of it. After that, went to Kali River Rapids. Emily and I rode first. We didn't get too wet. Then Brian, Emily and Noah rode. Brian got SOAKED. I had taken Halle to a point where she could see the boats and she decided she wanted to ride, so all the kids got back on with Brian while I stayed with Joel. Halle got a little wet and she enjoyed the ride. Went to find a seat for the parade and found benches across from Flights of Wonder. Got the kids some ice cream and they managed to make a huge mess. Aaron, a CM from Flights of Wonder, spent a lot of time talking with the kids while we waited for the parade. Parade was fun.... we got squirted by Donald Duck's float. Brian was still very wet, so he wanted to go back to the room and change before dinner at Boma. Kids went to the lounge and started eating chicken wings there, so we canceled our PS and rescheduled for Saturday.
We ate in the lounge, then went to the pool around 7pm. Noah finally went down the volcano slide. The marina manager had told him the day before that he would give Noah a surprise if he would give it a try at least once. We tell Noah we'll find him tomorrow to tell him he did it.
Tomorrow: MGM and Fantasmic
