My Disney Dreaming: Day 6 – 7 January 2013

Up early to head to Animal Kingdom for early (8:10am) breakfast reservations at Tusker House. It was too early this far into the trip! So, we got there well before they were letting the breakfast people in. We were let in and found our way back to Tusker House. We were the first ones to get our picture with Donald and the first to be seated! Very nice atmosphere and a very nice breakfast buffet. Their special “Jungle Juice” was very good. It was really too early for me to eat a buffet, unfortunately! I did not each much, but John and Bek did a great job! The characters were great, too.

After breakfast we headed over to Kilimanjaro Safari. It was great! Still early enough that the animals were nice and active and visible.

On to the Pangani Trail then the Jungle Trek. Nice zoo, nothing exciting, really.

LOUD BIRD!

Kali was closed during this trip, sadly. Bek and I got in stand by line for Everest. It said 20 min, but it ended up being a walk on, so we walked off and then right back on again! Very cool ride, I was not too fond of the backwards fast in the dark part, but it got better with the second ride!

Expedition Everest behind us!

Was she having fun? Was I?

Went over and rode Dinosaur, and again it was a walk on so we did it twice in a row! And, I feel I have to add here, I REALLY don't like the carnival atmosphere of Dionland, it REALLY does not fit in with the rest of the well themed areas of Animal Kingdom. Big fat sore thumb.

Are we having fun?

SO, before we left John wanted to ride the Safari one more time. Of course it was lunch time and getting hot again and Bek kind of had a little tired/hungry melt down. However, we got on the Safari and she fell right asleep and slept all the way through the ride, through the walk out of the park, through the bus ride to the resort and then woke up when we got to ASMovies.

And the breakdown begins...

Tired girlie...JUST about to fall asleep

Now I know, we missed a lot at Animal Kingdom, but 1- we are not really show watchers and 2- we were pretty worn out this day!

So we had lunch at the resort and just hung out in the room for awhile. Then it was time to head to Downtown Disney to meet up with my Aunt Sue!! We met outside of Fulton's, wandered around for awhile then went to Earl of Sandwich for supper. YUM! Then, even yummier, we had dessert at Ghirardelli, where we all shared a large Hot Fudge Sundae.
