how long is this show? im trying to see if we can make it back to the AKL for a 830 sanna ressie after the showEntry 10 - Let's FINALLY see what this Rivers of Light thing is all about!
Sorry it's been a bit...I feel like I start every entry by saying this now! I totally had plans to post earlier this week and then forgot that I had my open house on one night and then my son's open house on another. I'm finally here to bring our AK day to a close though.
Once we were finished exploring Pandora, it was time to get some good food but we took a potty break and took a couple cute pictures on the way.

We then traveled to one of my favorite places to eat, Flame Tree BBQ! I love love love this restaurant and end up loving it even more after this trip. I eat something new on another day that is sooo good but that'll come later. For now, I got what had been my favorite meal there. The pulled pork french fries!!! Nom nom nom!!!

I could seriously eat these every day! It consists of fries, pulled pork (which is delicious but as a North Carolinian I'm a bit partial), BBQ sauce, and the best part of all PLASTIC CHEESE! I know that not everyone is a fan of it but I LOVE plastic cheese! My husband got his go-to favorite, the ribs, which were as good as always.

He loves the ribs but I believe that he may love the jalapeno cornbread more!
Our Tusker House meal from the morning was a RoL package but it was still way too early to head that way when we were done with dinner. We decided to head back over to Dino Land again because the boys wanted to ride some of the rides from earlier in the day. This was my first time being in AK since they started staying open in the evening. I have to say that I really enjoyed it. Being in the park at dusk and then at night was awesome! I didn't take any pictures but we rode a couple rides in Dino Land and then Jackson and I danced together with the DJ played Justin Timberlake's "Can't Stop the Feeling," which is a favorite in our home. It was a really cool experience. We then hopped into a gift shop and bought a couple of the unicorn horn suckers too keep the boys occupied during RoL. We arrived at the time on the ticket but apparently, everyone else had gotten there way before us. The seats were all filled but a great cast member was able to move a couple people down and put us all in the same area. I didn't take many pictures because I wanted to focus on the show since it was my first time seeing it. If I'm being completely honest it may be my last time seeing it. I didn't think it was awful it was just ok in my opinion. I think that after all the hype for so long that I expected a lot more. I know I wouldn't do another dinner package for it just due to cost and I also don't think it's worth waiting an hour in a seat for. It was cute. Dawson was the only one out of the group to really enjoy it but Jackson liked the first half. He and Brody were very tired though and ready to go about half way through. I wouldn't say that anyone should totally skip it. It's definitely worth seeing once.

After the show was over we left the park, hopped on a bus, and made our way back to the hotel. Everyone was totally spent and I think we were all out within minutes once we laid down.
UP NEXT: We make it to the MK for Brody's Bday!
