The Trip on a Budget (ish) Day 11, Animal Kingdom
We were up early to get a full day in AK. We got to the park just after opening (not befoe stopping at a Mcdonalds drive through on the way! $10).
We stopped at the bridge to get a couple of photopass pictures.
We headed straight for Dinosaur, we ended up with a seat in the back row – wow it shook us around. I think the photo is f me holding on to Sy for dear life! We then went to watch Finding Nemo, I love that show. I don’t know if I could choose my favourite out of Nemo and Lion King, I could watch them both all day.
We went on a few more rides and then went for some lunch at Yak and Yeti café which was lovely
I had sweet and sour chicken and Sy had honey chicken ($27). We couldn’t finish it all as there was so much and it was so hot. We ended up sitting on a table with a lady with a baby sleeping in her arms. She offered us to sit with her as there were no tables free due to some park maintenance.
We then went on the Kali River rapids and got very VERY wet! We did then decide to go on it again afterward though teehee….. well we figured we couldn’t get much wetter!
We did a few more rides and watched the lion king show and then went to do the safari as it was getting late in the day so hopefully the animals would be around.
We got a few pictures once we were got off
Look how wet my dress is!
We then made our way to the exit – not before stopping to get an ice cream though! ($6.50)
On the way home we stopped at publix to get some drinks as we were running low. ($8)
Back at the condo we weren’t sure where we would like to go for dinner so we got showered and chilled out for a bit before getting in the car and heading along the 192 to see what would take our fancy. We stopped at a Chili’s that we thought we would go in but there was an hour’s wait. Next door was Uno & we could see it had free tables so we decided to give it a go. Our server showed us to our table and then made some suggestions for food as we had never been there before. Our server in fact was really lovely, and we gave her a hefty tip so much so that she followed us out to thank us which made me feel warm and fuzzy inside unfortunately that is the best I could say about the place 
our food was horrible. There was nothing exactly wrong with it, it wasn’t overcooked or anything but it was just tasteless. We had this pizza to start that had mashed potato with cheese and bacon ON it. I don’t know what I was expecting when it came but it wasn’t good I can’t now remember that we had for our mains but neither of us were impressed with them. It’s a bit disappointing as the service was one of the best we’d had in a long time but the food just didn’t live up to it. I guess that’s why Chili’s was an hour’s wait and Uno had lots of free tables. Dinner cost $52 with the hefty tip.
A few pics of us inside
After we paid and left we made our way back to the condo to get some sleep. It was getting late and we were up early this morning.
Total spend for the day
$127.50 including drinks at AK and parking.
Tomorrow Typhoon Lagoon!
