Off on Safari

So today we returned to Animal Kingdom. We had our fast passes booked. First up was Kali River Rapids. Miss B sat this one out. Before we left the villa we offered Miss H a poncho but she declined.

She seriously regretted that decision... The people to the left of us escaped virtually dry but not Miss H. I think she suffered by sitting next to me and getting the run off from my poncho.

It really does depend where the raft is positioned when it goes over the drop.

The rest of the raft who weren't wearing ponchos were drenched. After removing my poncho I allowed myself a smug smile at those who ridiculed my attire.

Next up was our favourite ride of the park - Expedition Everest. Even Mrs J is enjoying it now and in the photos can be seen smiling.

We then sneaked in a quick ride on Dinosaur. We had also planned to ride Prime Evil Whirl but this has now closed. We are all really glad we rode it earlier in the holiday. I know it's more of a fairground ride but it is really fun.

Our final Fast Pass was the Safari. When we did this previously we didn't see any giraffes but this time was different and we got to see 5 giraffes, including 3 young ones.

It was now lunch time and we had booked an ADR (advanced dinner reservation) at...



The food was great, essentially Chinese, which made a refreshing change from chips - sorry I mean fries, as chips are crisps here. A single language?

Next was the inevitable question... What are we going to do now? After a lengthy discussion the majority decision was more shopping.

We headed for the other Premium Outlet at Vineland. We hadn't been here before but knew that it was fairly similar to its sister mall.


After a few hours it was time to head back to the villa. It was now raining so that ruled out a swim.

We headed out to Publix for essentials and filled up the car with gas...

We will review the plans for our remaining days to make sure we do everything that we want to.

Who knows where we will be tomorrow? I don't... Pop back and find out...
