Day 4
We headed to the Animal Kingdom! We went all the other millions of people to ride the safari first thing! We waited about 20 minutes and the saw lots of great animals! Several of them were just lying around since it was HOT! We then head to Expedition Everest! We grabbed 6 fastpasses, but only 3 wanted to ride. We decided to go to Kali River Rapids while we waited for our FP time. We, of course, got drenched but it felt GREAT!! We head to EE and it still wasn't time for our FP. We waited in standby for 15 minutes (it said 30 on the sign) ! We rode, got in FP line and rode, then got in the FP line again to use the rest of the FPs!!! Three rides within 15 minutes or so!!! wooohoo!

Bama Rama · 10-19-2009

We went to our ADR at the Tusker House. Our reservation was at 1:00 and we check-in around 12:35. We were immediately seated!! This was the case at all of our ADRs (well, except for CRT) We enjoyed the food at the Tusker House, because it was FREE! They had fresh pineapple that was out of this world. Everyone enjoyed their meal, but it was not our favorite place on this trip. The atmosphere and decor was really pretty.

Great pictures... looks like you had a great time.

timkelmom · 10-20-2009

Looks like you had a great time. Love all your pics, especially the pic of your parents on TSM (priceless). Can't wait for the rest. BTW, food always tastes better when it is FREE.

Great TR!! Sounds like an awesome time! Can't wait to read more!!

We watched the Jammin' Jungle Parade next. We then headed to get us a frozen Coke! Those were the favored snack on our trip since it was very hot!! We went to see ITTBAB. After that it was around 4:40 and of course the park closes at 5:00. We headed to the safari. We have never rode it late in the day so we gave it a shot. We got there about 4:45 and they sent us through the fast pass line. We walked straight and got right on!!!! That safari was one of the best we have EVER been on!!! All of the animals were out and about! The highlights of the trip were that the male lion was out walking around!! We have seen him with his head raised up before but NEVEr up walking! That was cool! The next highlight was that ALL of the cheetahs were up walking around also!! That was a great ending to our day at AK! Of course, leaving the park was a lot easier also since no one was there!!!

We ended our day by going back to HS to see Fantasmic! We got our FREE fast food meal and took it with us and ate while we waited on the show!

Great TR!! I love all your pictures!

I can't believe the male lion & the cheetahs were out and about like that! I've NEVER seen them!! Baloo and I always go early in the morning - we may have to start trying later safaris so that he can see the cheetahs, his favorite!

Awesome! I've never heard of this - how does it work? Do you get a free photopass picture?

It is in the Innovations building by the Character Connection. You have to show them your Disney Visa and you give them your photopass card. You go in a room with Disney characters and have your picture made with them. You can take several pics! You then wait an hour and go to the Camera Center by Spaceship Earth. You give them your photopass card and your coupon and they will pull your pictures up on the computer and you choose one of your pictures from the session. They will add the border that you would like, print it out and it's FREE!! You can do one per day!!

Oh wow, what a great photo of the male lion!! That is so rare, lucky you. :)

Day 5
We started the day at Epcot! We headed straight for Soarin! We got a FP and stood in the standby line to ride. We got 2 rides on this ride to start the day!

We rode Test Track, Nemo, Figment and Spaceship Earth. we then headed around the countries. We tried out the Kim Possible Adventure for the first time! My 12 year old DD loved it!

It was a lot of fun for her and for the rest of us! It was amazing to see how she could activate so many interesting things! We completed the adventures in Italy, Norway, Germany, Japan, and Mexico!!! We were busy!! After that we headed to get our free Visa cardholder picture made. We stood in line, took the pic, then headed to our ADR at Garden Grill! This was another first for us. We had never eaten there. We really liked their salad and their bread! YUM! Of course, it tasted great because it was FREE! The characters were so cute in their "farming" clothes!!

lovemysons · 4 Weeks Ago

Yes, I love the farmer clothes, its one of my most favorite character meals!
