Part 2- Hi LexMelindaPooh!!!
By the end of the show, the rain really started. I quickly grabbed the ponchos and put one on myself and on the stroller. The males of the family were just too hot to put on plastic since they were already wet with sweat. Lookie my invention:
Our lunch at the Flame Tree with the exception of the beans, was yucky. DH's bun was stale and kept falling appart, so he ended up eating his BBQ sandwich with a fork. Dallen didnt like his chicken because it had bones and it was under cooked. We did feed the big fat (aggressive) birds pieces of our bread. Dont tell the authorities or the complainers!!! We got frozen lemon-aids for dessert, but they were over-frozen so I put them in my diet Pepsi cooler for later. These are the Dole pre-packaged frozen lemon-aids, not to be confused with the real ones sold in the parks (which are really yummy). For the love of all things sacred, please, PLEASE refrain from feeding your turkey or chicken to these birds!!! That's just so wrong! Oh, I just noticed in my meticulous notes, that the bill for this gross meal (except for the beans) would have been $55.47 had it not been for our beloved free dining!
With full bellies, we made way to the Festival of the Lion King just before they were closing the doors. We ended up seated high in the Lion section. This show is spectacular, isn't it?! The energy and music and talent makes this a "cant miss" attraction. My children do not like to participate much with the "kids part", so seated high in the Lion Section ended up being a great vantage point.
Next, was the Kali River Rapids raft ride of doom! I LOVE this ride! I wore my poncho JUST to be one of those poncho wimps we all hate. My hair was already soaked and stringy. My clothes were sticky and yucky, but I poncho-ed. Yes I did! Jordan stayed with our sleeping DD but with the intention of blasting us at the end. If your loved ones are riding and your stuck with your little sleeping sister, stand on the bridge and aim the water blasts at them as they float by. Sweet revenge!
My poncho did very little to help me and actually hindered my sight. NEVER do the poncho on kali! You'll look like a dork and you wont be able to see and it wont really help...plus you'll be just 2 notches away from being an old lady with her dew- bonnet and indoor sweater. It's up to you. 
It was nearing time for the Jammin Jungle Parade, so we parked our buttocks across from Tusker House (shoulda gone THERE!) on a tree sized planter next to a lovely pair of cynical lesbians. They were a TREAT to listen to during our wait.I called TwinkieMama (remember Twink?) to look like I wasn't eavesdropping. They were tres catty (ME-ow!) commenting on every single woman who walked by. It SO entertained me, untill I chuckled!
OH NO! What should I do? 
They were kind of bigger than me...so being a quick thinker, I joined them! I appologized about being nosey and said they were totally right about the extra large tube top lady and her daisy-dukes...(I have a picture if your interested). They were nicer with me than when they thought their conversation was private. Across from Tusker House is a PRIME spot for this totally jammin' parade! The characters really interact with everyone and we certainly recieved our share of character interaction!
"Iko, Iko, Inay!"
We next did the walking tour to see the famous BIG (
) bats! Yes, I have witnessed their hugeness. The TI-double guh-rr's are soooo cute! And I had seen some other TR's featuring these FREAKish bovine with what looks like a Photo-shop job on their horns. No, the horns are real sized and look to be probably twice as large as God had intended. Their heads are forced down into graze-position 99% of the day! (sorry no clear pictures of the freaky bulls)
Today, Animal Kingdom was scheduled to close at 5PM
, so we had just enough time to catch the Kilimanjaro Safari. I love the wiggly ears on the real live hippos. Aren't they just precious? They look so cuddly and sweet, if only our jeep would get just a teeny bit closer...
So we managed to save Little Red from those rampant poachers, again! They really should give it up! I mean, we were ON THEM like white on rice exactly like the times before! Little and Big Red were once again safe and sound (for 3 more minutes, anyway) thanks to US!
We High Tailed it to the Contemporary Resort Bus for our now famous disastrous dinner at Concourse Steakhouse. I hesitate to even go into greusome detail. First, lets look at DS6 Riley in his flippy fit on the bus, shall we? He's warding off the pho-toe with CROC power.
We ordered various cow meat at this open air dining experience. The highlight was the anticipation of the famous painted cookie deserts and the cool resort monorail just over our heads. The LOWlight was the food. I likes me a good steak and the meat that particular night at that particular meal tasted GAMEY and TOUGH like antelope or elk or deer meat. My "medium" top serloin was rare bloody goatmeat. Luckily the salad was just scrumptous and I wasn't very hungry. Why doesnt food taste very good when your not hungry? The kids loved their meals, whatever they were. I'm guessing chicken nuggets or mac n cheese (lucky ducks!) But here's the famous cookies we got to paint and I'll explain the lip gloss picture after...
and just to show my special sense of humo(u)r:
Ok, look at the paint brush prior to our use. It does not look new by any stretch of the imagination. But I didnt notice this till viewing the pictures much later. Sooo, I chose to paint the chapped lips of my helpless 2 year old with the special "paint" provided. By the next morning she had RED, tiny blisters all over her sweet angel mouth! EEEK! This ended up being Impetigo that may or may not have been caused by the germ infested paint brush! Plus, add the binky (no she hasnt had her bink since after our trip, thank you very much!) and the humidity and she had a germ frappe that took over a month to clear up! So, paint your stale nasty cookies with a NEW brush or bring your own!

We won't be going back there! Sorry your little one got a rash - Note to self: avoid desserts with paintbrushes! 
You don't even want to play I Spy with me either...Not very observant I'm afraid!!!
I'll be looking forward to more!
