Yesterday we started with breakfast at Tusker House. Once again we waited thirty minutes for a bus, where every park went by before the one we wanted!
Breakfast was delicious and it was great that they had a dedicated gluten free baked goods station. Characters were on good form and the kids had a lovely time!
After breakfast we wandered the Maharajah jungle trek and saw the newest tiger, then we played the drums before our ride on Everest, which Oscar loved! Although we had tried to prepare here for it, Libbi was a bit upset that she wasn't tall enough to ride.
Next we went and queued for Finding Nemo, which was wonderful as always! As we were in the area and there were short stand by waits, Carl, Dee, Mark, Sophie, Oscar and myself rode Primeval Whirl while my dad took Libbi on Triceratops Spin.
We played a few of the carnival games and won some prizes when it started to pour. As we were near the start of our Kali FP window we headed up there but by that point all outdoor attractions had been closed.
In an effort to stay dry we got the train to Rafiki's planet watch and added to the autograph book. After an hour we headed back once the rain finally eased off!
We discussed various possibilities for using our FP in another attraction, ending up deciding to ride Kilamjaro Safari earlier, so we could see the 4pm Lion King show before heading to our ADR at Boma. Before the safari we wandered the Pangani trail, but didn't see the baby.
On the safari the animals were unusually active and we got a great shot of the lionesses! In the Lion King show, Libbi was chosen to be part of the procession, which she loved, and we got a lot of attention from the tumble monkeys, as well as one of the stilt walkers.
We got the bus to AKL and had a great meal. The chef came and walked us round, then sent us out a special gluten free dessert plate including zebra domes, along with two glasses of bubbly for our anniversary
After the meal, Carl and I got some alone time as we headed to Magic Kingdom for EMH. We rode the Magic Carpets as our 4th FP, where Carl told me what he had planned for the next day: a beachfront vow renewal!!
We then rode BTMRR twice, with the second time coinciding with Wishes, then POTC, Jungle Cruise, and Haunted Mansion. We had a little nosey around New Fantasyland then planned to ride Space Mountain. We stopped for a drink at Cosmic Ray's, at which point we realised how tired we were, so we headed for the bus. On the way out, we stopped at Le Chapeau and I was able to pick up some Ursula headband ears to complete my Villains Unleashed costume.
What a great day!!
