We awoke on our last official day in Disney, and it was sad to be the last day, but we did end up also being a little happy to soon be headed home, (or at least...to have separate beds/rooms for a little bit) in the next day.
Today we all started with a food-court breakfast again, and today was also the day that as we were heading down to breakfast, Amy & I noticed that our refillable mugs we had gotten with the dining plan & only used once...were missing...which we thought was extremely odd, as they had been sitting in the same place all week, and why on earth would housekeeping want them? We made a mental note to talk to the front desk on our way back in that evening to see if we could do anything about it.
We ate down in the Pop food court, I couldn't tell ya what anyone else had, but I JUST remembered that I had chocolate chip pancakes! They were pretty darn good!
After the boys finished eating, they ran back up to the room really quick, and then met us all out at the bus stop (and yes, it actually worked out this time) When Tyler came up, he had an interesting story to share: apparently on his way up to the room, a staff member had came up to him, handing him a reusable mug saying that he had left it down by the bar earlier in the week. Well...that's where my mug had been...Tyler had clearly been using our mugs to drink out of while he finished the bottle of crown, and forgotten about it. When you look back on it, it's actually pretty funny now!
Once the bus was there, we hopped on, which one, you may ask? Why, we were headed to Animal Kingdom...for now... We had made a plan the night before, and were planning on sticking to it!
Our first plan: to brave the yettie...yet again!
I was lingering a little behind to snag as many pictures as I could, it was our last day, and I wanted TONS of memories to savor!
Not to mention, everyone was in good spirits, and would stop for some good pics! Ahh! There it is, the big drop! Eeeek!
So excited! I had become such a thrill ride junkie this trip!| Hey! From not being able to go on anything, to doing everything but Mission: Space & Space Mtn & RnR, I think I was doin' pretty good!
We got to the park a little after 9, probably closer to 9:30, so there was a bit of a line, and lots of time to actually take in all the detailing in the cue
Josh Gates (?) footprint!! This one was specifically for Emily, who was on our May trip, and was more excited about it, than actually going on the ride!
Then, we were off!! As we had gone through all the rides, and I was a lot more comfortable taking my hands off the restraint bar now we had decided to do some silly poses for our ride pics, make them more interesting!
Once we disembarked our train, we jumped right back into the single rider's line, and were boarded once again in no time!
(I didn't do anything cool during that one, so no pic! haha)
We left Asia behind us, knowing that a fast pass would be no good to us, and we headed back to Africa, while making some more decisions. Nick & I then strayed to Camp Minnie Mickey to catch the just starting Festival of the Lion King (you had to know that was coming, my favorite show, skip it? Heck no!) While Amy & Tyler went over to Dinoland to om nom nom with some prehistoric friends!
Thanks to the overload of FOTLK pics, this is where I have to leave you now, I will update again tomorrow morning to kick this trip report in the butt! I also have to start getting ready as we are going to see the MUPPET'S today!! EEEKK
(Also, random, but has anyone else, after spending time in WDW, gone to a 3d movie and expected air/scents/water to come spraying at them? Yup....it's a weird thing when you brace yourself for it & then remember that it doesn't happen out here in the real world! )
