The cast : Hpygrll - 31, pregnant (hindered some rides, but not the fun)
DH - 32 , loves Disney
Mom - 64
Dad - 67
Up at 8:30 - had breakfast in the room. Off to Animal Kingdom. Beautiful day too. Mom and Dad rode the safari first thing - we waited for them and chatted with all these older couples who were waiting for people. We make more friends that way! Went through some gift shops, headed for the Lion King show but then decided that we really didn't want to stay at Animal Kingdom. I personally just don't really like it. I fell totally clausterphobic (sp!) and hot in there. So off to the Magic Kingdom via the bus to Wilderness Lodge. (never miss an opportunity to explore other resorts)
Wandered around there then took boat to Magic Kingdom. Headed straight for Pinocchios for lunch. Ate on the balcony (which I learned about on the Dis) - good view of Fantastyland. Split a cheeseburger again. Still not very hungry! Off to Haunted Mansion. My and DH's personal favorite! Then to Aladdins' carpet ride. We were part of a line survey there to see how long the wait was. We were given a piece of paper at the start and had to record the time on our watch and then we gave it to the person at the end. Interesting. Only took 1 minute. Kind of lame ride but I can see that kids would like it.
Headed for Carousel of Progress ( my other personal favorite) and then to the Wedway People mover (yes, I know it's not called that anymore, but I don't care! HAHA) Off to TOon town - stood in line to see Minnie - the only adults without kids in line! Oh well! Then took the train around the kingdom and eventually got off at Main STreet and went shopping! Still no buying, just looking.
Tony's for dinner. Neat place. I had not eaten there before. I love the theming. A little pricey, but good. I had spaghetti, so did Dad. Mom had antipasta salad and DH had chicken marsala. Done with dinner by 6pm so back to OKW to change to go to Downtown Disney to actually shop!!!!
Bought cute snowmen plush Micky and Minnie at the Christmas shop and then some various clothing items at World of Disney. Vacation Club discount no longer applies at any of the shops which kind of stinks, but oh well - still embracing it! Got ice cream from Ghiradellis. I had a hot fudge sundae, DH had some carmel thing, MOm and Dad had shakes. Sat and people watched, then took the boat back to OKW. In bed by 11pm.
