The Plan: We'll take a bus to Animal Kingdom and head back to Zootopia. Then, it's on to the Festival of the Lion King, and back to the Safari For lunch, we're going to try Flame Tree BBQ. Following R&R, we'll take an Uber to Yacht, and an 1840 ADR at Yachtsman Steakhouse.
ROUGH DRAFT At 0615, it’s 72 on Bay Lake and we’re headed for Animal Kingdom. We left the room at 7:30 and the bus was waiting for us when we got down to the bus loading zone; one of those new buses and the guy backed me into the parking space. Arriving at Animal Kingdom, we were a little on the early side so we renewed our annual passes and then headed into the park. Our first stop was the new Zootopia ride, which is still 4D. We were completely unimpressed. From there, we went through Asia and then got orange Dole Whip floats at Tamu Tamu refreshments (6.79@). We then went down to the Festival of The Lion King where we were seated in the front row of the giraffe section. Following the Festival of the Lion King, we went out to the lightning lane for the Kilimanjaro Safari; a wonderful ride. Following that ride, we headed back to the bus zone to return to the Contemporary. At 12:30 we’re at the wave lounge. Lydia ordered a stack burger (24) and mac & cheese (12). I ordered the same stack burger and onion rings (10) Lyd ordered a New Amsterdam gin and tonic, and I ordered a double tall Tito’s and tonic. Back in the room at 13:30 for naps. At 1815, we went back up to the Villains Lair at Top Of The World for the seven “lair” cake. By 1900, we were back in the room. At 2023, EST, it’s 74.
