Ok so because on Day 2 we had our first problems with the dinning plan, I thought ok I get up and be at the concierge desk for it opening at 7am as again I didnt want to be late getting in to the parks in the morning. Now on my way to the desk I just so happened to look at my new room keys that I got the day before and notice that they had our holiday starting on the 23rd and not the 22nd this is when the penny dropped, we have a missing days worth of dinning plan because they removed a day from our holiday when rebooking it to fix the 14 day ultimate hopper missing problem.
So this time they opened the concierge desk on time and I was like, hi I have got a small problem the number of dinning point in credit. What I think I have, is not the same as what it says I have and why are these room keys got 23rd and not 22nd on them could that be the problem? The person looked as if I just asked the most difficult set of questions ever and had to disappear in to the back room, she came back and explained that it was a mistake and not to worry as they noticed before I did and made a note to say I was to get the extra points back. They then explained what I had to do to get the points back, it all sounded long winded to me but I went along with it anyway. I also said about the problem at Tonys Town Square and she disappeared again this time came back and showed me a print out that removed 2 credits from Tonys Town Square for my room. I pointed out it should only been 1 as I was over charged for 1 only and she said our mistake you get an extra table service for free now.. Ok fine.. Then I asked for a print out of each room and each snack, counter service and table service, it prints out and I notice that snacks and counter service are all missing from the print out so I say to them look I dont want it to be a surprise down the line so I better tell you about these ones we already used.. she then heads of back in to the back room, comes out and says we removed them when rebooking the room, so dont worry about it our fault you now have extra counter services and snacks.. so I then say why dont you just re-adjust the ones I have used from the ones that are missing, and she says no its our mistake and we have agreed to credit you the other stuff already so dont worry about it.. Fine, I wasnt going too as she was right, this was not my fault.
Anyway I get told to get the credits back I need to get snacks, counter service and table service on each room and they credit them back, means I need to visit concierge desk again but not a big deal.. so off I go with knowledge that I now have 2 extra sacks and 7 extra counter service and will be getting the missing stuff all added also.
So the day can start and it was off to Animal Kingdom.
- Animal Kingdom
Animal Kingdom, we get in to the park and to start things off myself and my 13 year old sister-in-law head to Kilimanjaro Safari with all the ticket to get the fast passes and tell everyone to meet us at Its Tough to be a Bug. This worked out really well as the fast passes where for later and Its Tough to be a Bug had a 10 min wait time, so in we went.
Everyone enjoyed this but my 21 month old son loved it however going by his reactions some parts he took as being very real to him but not actually being scarred of bugs he had a great time.
We still had plenty of time so headed in to Dino Land USA, my wife, her youngest sister, wife's mother and my son went on the flying Dino ride and at this time I went to Dinosaur and picked up new fast passes as the time was now ready to do that.
Now that we had our new fast passes it was time to head Kilimanjaro Safari and use these fast passes. On the way I took a photo of "Everest" I didn't know what it was at this point, but on my return I get a few more photos of the track and what looks like it will be a cool coaster when open.
Kilimanjaro Safari: No baby swap on this ride as you can take them on with you.. again son loved it however could have done with more lions kicking about but hey they are real animals so cant make them perform. He did like the elephants and the different birds about.
Next it was Dinosaur ride and it was time we did do the baby swap. Now here is a tip. Keep the fast pass for the person that is staying back on the baby swap, so when they give you the rider swap pass, you have 1 fast pass and 1 rider swap for 3 people and this means 4 of you can enjoy the ride.
After a great day at Animal Kingdom (and to be honest we never done as much as what we would have done without a baby in toe) we went back to the Hotel. The plan was to use the swimming pool, have a relaxing evening at the hotel and avoid the Thanks Giving crowds at the parks that night, plus was good chance to re-adjust after a busy first day.
Only used snacks and counter service that day, so one good thing I didnt have to visit the concierge desk the next day as I had to wait until I done table services as well.
So off to bed and be ready for day 4 where it was time to go do Epcot and a return to MGM to get some shows in.
