8/21 Day 7
We started the morning late. Kids slept until 9:30 because we were out late the night before with the Halloween party. Once we got ready to go we headed over to Animal kingdom for around 12 in the afternoon.
Upon arrival the first thing we did was take a
PhotoPass of our family in a giant hakuna matata Lion King frame outside the entrance. It came out great in the line was short so I was glad we did it.
After that we went over to dinoland to take pictures with Scrooge McDuck because he's one of the few characters we have not yet met. We waited about 10 minutes and we only waited that long because when we got there he took a break shortly after we got in line.
Then we had our first Fastpass for the day at Navi River journey. After that we walked around Pandora for a little while taking in the amazing sites to see.
We stopped and got the Mt Everest photopass and magic shot once we entered Asia as there was no line for that.
We then went to walk the Asia Majaraha jungle trek. It was a really hot day and around 130 at this point. We saw less animals than we've ever seen on this before and I'd assume it was due to the heat. But we still had fun regardless.
Then we really needed a break in the ac, so we went to watch the 2:30 Nemo show! I love this show and see it Everytime we go. You're going to think I'm crazy, ready? I tear up Everytime I watch this show at the part where Nemo sings "not my dad", where he thinks because his dad isn't brave that he would never come for him. Maybe I'm just a cry baby but it hits me in some sort of soft spot. Probably because I'm not a very brave person and my kids may feel like Nemo did, but as mom's we know we would literally face any fear for our children. Anyone else tear up or am I alone on this??
After that I walked around the Everest gift shop because I had never been in there before. I found a sweatshirt I really liked but they didn't have it in my size so we left. Every time I come to Disney I try to buy a new zip-up hoodie because coming from New England I get a lot of use out of sweatshirts, and I'm a huge fan of wearing them!! On our last trip I bought one from the Pandora gift shop that I love!!
At this point it was about 4 p.m. and we had a dinner reservation at my favorite restaurant on all of Disney property yak & yeti!! I get the chicken lo mein and it is delicious! Our waiter Christian was fabulous, the best we've had this trip!
After our very filling meal we went over to do the Safari ride. We had a FastPass to do it at 5:30. The animals weren't super active so it wasn't one of the best ones I've been on. But we did see a lot of rhinos, giraffes, a cheetah and the lions were out however they were sleeping.
After that it was about 6:30 and we were pretty beat from the night before so we headed back to our hotel to get some rest. Tomorrow is our first non-park day, but we hope to make it fun with a very special meal at dinner time . Can anyone guess what that might be??
