Day Five -Animal Kingdom , Ohana and La Nouba
We had to wake up super early to pack up our stuff to move resorts. We had called Bell Services to move our stuff from BCV to AKV, which was so easy to do, and a total lifesaver in terms of time.
As soon as we sent our stuff off, we ran out to catch the bus to AK! The bus was really late, so we missed rope drop (no biggie, we have seen if before) but it still wasnt that busy when we got there. We ran to Dinoland first, where luckily, the lines were not too long yet.
After doing a few of the rides, I convinced DH to skip EE this tip (I hate it, it terrifies me) so we headed towards Africa for a snack and to grab FPs for Kilimanjaro safari. We really wanted fresh fruit, so when we found Harambe Fruit Market with fruit cups and jalapeno cheese pretzels, we stopped for a snack. We took our snacks to the seating area outside Tusker House where the African Dance Show, as I call it, takes place. After we finished eating, the cast members started performing, so DH and I went up close to watch. The main guy noticed our pins, and dragged us in to do a celebration dance for us. It was so much fun, and to see the look on DHs face was priceless. The only line I remember from the song was swaaahhh and I cannot remember what it means. One of the dancers also offered to babysit the 10 kids he wants us to have as well!
After our celebration dance was over, DH and I went to walk the trail closest to Kilimanjaro, which was fun, but crowded with screaming children.
As soon as we were done the walk, it was time to use our FPs for Kilimanjaro. Our guide was really fun, it and all the animals (except the lion) were easily visible. I wont post many pictures, since I am sure you are all familiar with it.
After the ride, we walked back my Tusker House, and noticed a large bar was open. We decided since we were on vacation, we needed a drink. While, with only half a pretzel and half a fruit cup each in our stomach, the alcohol went straight to our head. We ended up going on a crazy mission to see how many pictures we could get from the photopass people. Here are some of my favs:
The last thing we did was go to its tough to be a bug which was good, except for the 100 screaming children. Seriously, at least 100 were screaming and crying.
We decided to head to AKV (Jambo) to see if our room was ready, and to get lunch there, since we didnt like any options at AK. When we arrived, our room was ready right away, so we decided to go up and relax for a bit before finding food.
We had been in AKL before when we went to Boma, but we were in such a hurry to find it, and then in a hurry to leave, that we didnt realize how great the resort was. When we walked into our room, I was in heaven. We had an amazing view, we were super close to the elevator, and well, it was just awesome!
To top it all off, we had a message on the phone from DHs best man, saying that we got free tickets to HDDR since they messed up our ADRs so much.
That night, we met up with all the remaining guests @ Ohana. I wont get into the details of Ohana, since this is already a long post, and I know so many people on here love it
but we really didnt like it. Our guests thought it was pretty good, but DH and I are picky when it comes to food quality, especially meat, and we didnt think it was worth the price. We also had really awful service, which everyone was upset with.
That night, we went to La Nouba in DTD. It was nothing short of amazing! I wish DH and I would have gone alone as a date, instead of with some of our guests, but oh well. I would highly recommend La Nouba as a honeymoon activity. It was one of the most amazing things I have ever seen!
Up next
.DHS, Hoop Dee Doo, and MK till 3 am!
