Wednesday, May 13th
Today we got to sleep in a little because we had our Photopass photo shoot scheduled for 10am! We got ready in our cheezy matching gear and headed to the second floor of the Grand Ceremonial House to meet out photog!
We checked in and the dude behind the desk wanted to know how we got the $25 photo shoot offer, so I explained it was in the email I received when I pre-ordered the Photopass CD. He grumbled about how the price had changed to $75 then charged me the $25!
Anyway, everything started great, we got some family pictures inside and out then Emily was DONE. She didn't want anymore pictures taken of her so Mike and I got some pics done of us. All in all, it took about 30 minutes! Here are some of our favs:
I thought the photoshoot was well worth the $25 and I would probably still pay the new $75 just because I can't get pics done around here for that cheap!
After the photo session, we went to Captain Cook's for a snack breakfast. I think I had a chocolate chip muffin and Mike had a Mickey Rice krispie treat. Sorry, no pictures!
Next we headed back to the room to change because we had a DIS meet scheduled for noon at the safari at AK. We hopped on the AK bus and we were on our way. We arrived at AK about noon and hoofed it back to Africa where we would soon meet our DIS friends! Here we are:
That's Brandi (BridetobeDisney), Me, Kara (kgle) and Amber (bertegirl)!
And our families:
We had all planned on riding the Safari together, but the line was 60 minutes and we weren't waiting for that so we grabbed some FP and Amber and Jason took off back to the AKL and the rest of us headed to EE to ride together. Mike and Brad were going to ride single rider while we rode on a baby swap ticket, but after waiting for the boys a few minutes, they came back and said the ride was down. Bummer! Mike and I said our good-byes and headed to Tusker House for our lunch ressie.
I only booked Tusker House because I had never seen the Finding Nemo Musical and if you book lunch at TH between 1-1:40pm you get priority seating for the 3:15 show. I would have much rather eaten at Yak & Yeti!!
We checked in at TH a few minutes early and we were told they were about 20 minutes behind so we waited. About 20 minutes later we were seated and our drink orders were taken!
We hit the buffet and got a little bit of everything. I don't have a pic of Mike's plate
, but here is mine:
I think I had some pork, beef, couscous, rice and some other goodies. Mike loved this buffet and declared it the best buffet on property. I could have done without, but I'm not a big fan of Middle Eastern/African fare. It was good, but not as good as the delicious grub at Yak & Yeti!
Then we had some desserts, which of course, we great! I never have had a bad dessert!
These were scrumptious bites of Heaven! Strawberry mousse in a chocolate cup! YUM!! I may or may not have had more than one!!
Like I said, Mike really liked this buffet, but I wasn't thrilled. I was thrilled that we were given priority seating to the Nemo musical so it was a win-win situation! We rate TH
!!
Up Next: Finding Nemo, more AK and Jiko!
. I do have to say I am not a big hockey fan, but we did watch the game last night, and Mario Lemieux is still fine as wine 
However, the poly shoot photos came out great and the colors that you all wore really worked well with the setting. I especcially like the ones of you and Mike. They look really professional! Can't wait to hear more as always.
