After Kali river rapids we squished our way along until we spotted the Yak and Yeti resturant.We were all starving by this point.We decided to do the counter service here and find a table in the courtyard.We found a nice little table in the corner.It was shaded on one half of the table so we all sat on one side and enjoyed a suprisingly good lunch.The kids meals were served on a mickey shaped plate.We ended up keeping them and the kids love to eat from them at home.(don't worry, I didn't steal them, they were plastic disposable ones!)We got a kick out of the paper straws and no tops for the cups.(they are trying to keep the animals from getting hurt.)Even though it was boiling hot it was a pleasant little spot to take a break.The atmosphere was so neat and this courtyard was just so beautiful.I LOVED the themeing here.We really almost felt like we were in Asia.There was music playing from a live band not too far away and there was a beautiful fountain.
We were still soaked to the skin and Hannah decided she wanted to change.Fortunately I brought clothes knowing we would probably get wet here.Hannah changed into the sweetest outfit made by Tifani.Hannah loves this outfit by the way, It is so cute and is very cool and comfy.She has worn it a lot this week at home too.Logan on the other hand didn't want to change, I think he was happy being wet as it did help a little with keeping cool.I din't mind being wet too much but I HATE when my pants are wet.I had brought this little chamois cloth with us and I set it on the seat before lunch.I sat on it while we were eating and by the time we were finished that tiny cloth had soaked up a lot of the moisture. I felt so much better after that!
Paul really wanted to do some of the thrill rides while we were there so I decided this would be the perfect spot to wait for him while the kids finished their lunch.It was so pleasant there and right next to a bathroom too! He took off gladly to do Expedition Everest.The kids and I finshed our lunches and enjoyed the area.
Before too long Paul came back very happy.We headed out and soon came to the "it's tough to be a bug show". I love how this is located under the tree of life.I probably forgot to mention the tree-for those who have not been it is the main focus of the park.It has a whole bunch of carved animals in it and is so beautiful and immense.
We quickly were ushered into the waiting area and the kids checked out their 3-D bug glasses.
Can I just say how much we loved this show?? Some people hate it but we thought it rather funny.Flik from "A bug's Life" hosts the show and they do funny things like spray water on you when a bug is supposedly blowing his defensive acid at you.They actually pipe in a nasty smell when the stink bug comes out.The most fun was when the back of the seats poked you like a bug and when they announce that the roaches and such should exit first and it feels like they are running around in your seat.The kids thought this was hilarious.We checked out a gift shop for a while and then we headed toward the Camp Minnie, Mickey area.We spotted Lilo and Stich and Hannah had a fun few moments with them.Paul thought it was so funny as Stich was totally in character and he kept messing with the CM.He kept doing things like unclipping his name tag and such.Hannah of corse loved them.
Then we saw Terk from the movie Tarzan(I think)This was the only time that someone made a comment about Hannah going to the front of the line.I kind of felt bad but the CM explained what was happening to them and they seemed ok with it.Hannah had a great "conversation" with Terk which is funny because she can't talk.We are actually pretty good at sign language at our house so we figured it out quickly.After some hand gestures Terk made it known that she wanted Hannah's outfit for herself! The CM told her she was too fat to wear it and she seemed pretty dissapointed.It was hilarious.
While we were visiting with Terk, Logan had pretty much passed out cold in the stroller.This is pretty unlike him.I had noticed he had some cold symptoms the night before so we became concerned a bit.We didn't know if he fell asleep because he didn't feel well or if it was from heat exhaustion.We kept taking his pulse but I think we both got a little nervous about it.It was just so unlike him.He was really unresponsive.We also had to force Logan to drink the whole trip so it was a real concern.We decided to head for the exit as we still had Epcot to do that day.When we got to the exit, we woke Logan up and Paul returned his stroller.He seemed pretty out of it so I sat in the shade and doused him down with a water bottle and made him drink a juice box.After a little bit he seemed a little better so we headed to the van.We had to carry him the whole way and it was in the full sun.I was never so happy to see that van.It took forever for it to cool down.We headed back to GKTW and went straight to the pool.
but don't make me do TOT!
I do the same thing, get caught up reading trip reports.Thanks for your kind words.
Hannah and Logan are so cute. I sure hope Logan perks up after a swim!
