Morning everyone. 
I'm up early as usual. So thought I'd give you an update on what we got up to yesterday.
We went to AK with the 6 of us who flew together and Jack's sister and brother-in-law who are staying at pop met us out the front of the park.
We watched the little openin ceremony (very cute) and then all joined the stampede for the safaris!
We didn't really have to queue (just waited one truck) then were off into harambe.
Was a great safari and I can't think of anyone we didn't see.
After that we headed over to everest but the wait was 40 mins and the fps only 50 so we grabbed fps and headed back to the maharajah trek.
Kali was a 5 minute wait as we went by and as there was a big group of us my dad and I were excited to have a raft altogether. It was walk on and people were coming off SOAKED but we decided still to ride........
And I was the one who ended up pretty much drenched! Everyone seemed to get at least one big wave on them though! It was awesome though for all 8 of us (& the Mexican couple in with us) to all be laughing so much together!
After the soaking we walked the trek. Focusing more on the sunny areas if the trail then headed back to EE.
Now my mum had been very brave Friday on splash and we'd said how the big drops were pretty similar and there weren't any others. So she watched the big drop a few times and then queued with us. She was pretty nervous though!
I've got to admit it was a lot faster than I remembered and I felt a little guilty for getting my mum on there. So when we were done but waiting to pull into the station I asked how she was and she said "yeah great, when's the big drop?" as she didn't know we'd gone it and were finished!!
She also loved the backwards part! Hahaha. Shes pretty hardcore!!
After EE we walked over to Dinosaur. Wait was 30 and FPs were 40 so we grabbed some and all got a bite in restaurantosaurus.
We sat out side and chatted and ate until our time.
Now is a time for me to say how much I live this weather!! It's hot but doesn't have any of the mugginess of last trip. Last time I felt it was instantly on you the heat. And was sweaty pretty much from waking to sleeping and doing anything outside was pretty unpleasant.
But this trip it's just lovely. The difference is I think that we have a breeze all the time. And it does start of chilly in the mornings which I think prevents that stickiness in the air.
Perfect weather for me!
So after eating it was the time Jack had been waiting for for the last 18 months.
He practically ran there waving his fastpass in the air.
It wad WAY bumpier than I remembered! But also just as fun. I looked over at my mum at the end and she had massive eyes and mouthed at me "amazing!" then budged me to look at my Dad who was just looking about and smiling in disbelief! My parents really are Disney folk!!
We then headed back on the long walk to pangani trail and did that before heading back to our hotels as it wad getting very hot and busy.
We had an hour or so cooling off in the room. And I had to shower and get jack to spend 10 minutes scrubbing my back as my new top had got so wet on Kali it had leaked black dye all over my skin!!!
Then the suit fitting men turned up! The men all looked wonderful and the people were so friendly and helpful! Easiest and most pleasant suit rental I could imagine!! My dad got a little teary I think!
Afterwards jack and I left everyone in AKL to their own devices as his Mum arrived Friday night and we were off the CSR to see her.
We hopped onto a DHS bus and then a CSR bus was at the stop right away.
They are in Cabanas 9B and the first stop wad Casitas but we were a bit early so we got off there and walked all over past el centro.
We then found their room and headed back out with them and sat by the lake with a drink.
CSR is really pretty and so peaceful. Jacks mum loves it
I would quite like to stay there, but Jack says he's not a fan. It doesn't feel Disney enough to him for some reason and he didn't like the bus service. (Fussy...lol)
We then headed out with Jack's mum and her boyfriend and got the bus to DTD to meet his sister and BIL.
As I'd said earlier DTD was PACKED! so we just browsed a few shops then Jack's family all headed back to CSR for a meal together and we returned to AKL where we had bagels in the room before calling it an early night.
EPCOT today!

Although I love the August heat last month was perfect weather to get out and about, Last August we put off going to St Augustine because of the heat. Only problem at this time of year is it can change at any time. Been 3 times at Easter each time 1 good 1 poor week.
Lookig forward to next instalment

Glad to hear that the weather is ok, we were starting to worry about how the kids were going to cope with it being so warm, but if it's not muggy they should be ok.

Have a fab day in Epcot - I love that park!
