Louise was in pretty bad shape and the rain continued to pour, I bought her a pretzel to try and stabalize her tummy, again I was unable to buy it as a snack and had to charge it to the room.
While I sat with Louise during her recovery, the girls rode Kali River Rapids. By the time they came off the rain had stopped and Louise was feeling much better. We decided to have lunch at Pizzafari and then head back to the hotel for a rest before Hoop Dee Doo for Noel's birthday dinner.
We all had cheese pizza & chocolate cake
We spotted the characters taking a cruise as we walked through the park.
The bus ride to AKL is only about 5 minutes and it was nice to be back and have a rest in our room. There were a lot of animals out after the rain and everything seemed fresh and renewed.
At 4:30pm we jumped in a taxi out front of the hotel and asked the driver to take us to Hoop Dee Doo. He took us somewhere else, we weren't sure where exactly we were but it was not pioneer hall. I went in a building and asked and they told us to take a short bus ride to the show. It was only about a 5 minute ride away.
Our reservation card said table 25, I was surprised & pleased to see we were right at the stage beside the piano & banjo player.
The show was fun and the food was really good. Cornbread, Salad, Fried Chicken, ribs, brown beans & corn on the cob. We all enjoyed ourselves and during the show they went around the room announcing birthdays & anniversaries. Noel was in the spotlight for a moment or two and this made her happy. When she was introduced as 'Noel' the piano player started playing The First Noel and the audience laughed
Playing washboards (I don't know why they look so serious in the photos, really they were having fun)
I had a surprise booked for after HDD - a sleighride. With the platinum plan you get ulimited tours and recreation so I booked it. The sleigh was to meet us at 7:30pm right outside the show, but alas no one was there
.
It took me a few minutes to figure out that it was the rain that was the problem. The sleighs and carriages do not operate in the rain, and it was raining quite hard again, so we were stranded.
Plan B - take the bus to Wilderness Lodge, do some shopping inthe Mercantile and enjoy the WL Christmas decorations. Their tree is beautiful and while we were there a choir of young ladies sang carols.
We were all pretty tired at this point so we grabbed a cab over to AKL, had our nightly treat and drink in the lounge and a good nights sleep.
AKL Lobby in the evening
Tomorrow we are going to MK, Megan will cry tears of happiness and we will have a group hug
Also, find out the fate of this hat.
See you then
