120 Years Of Birthdays- Day 1

[cheekytink]

Breakfast photos to be uploaded later as are on the "real" camera but this was around 8.45 ready for the first ride.. any guesses?

First truck of the day for us. Amazing to go round without anyone in front of us. Lots of giraffes and we got to hear he male Lion roar!
I love the safari- it's different every time you ride.

Obligatory noisy moment.

3 people having a lean. It was really hot for a first day and quite a sweaty one (as usual
For AK).

Pandora.
Really really beautiful.
Congratulations to the imagineers who designed and built this area. It really takes your breath away. Some engineer has had a great time working out what isn't possible and making it happen.

Poser. Again.
In front of the Na'vi

The floating mountains are incredible.
It also smells different in areas of Pandora.

The flowers pulse and move in places!
Sadly the Na'vi river journey broke down as we got into the FP queue and so we decided to call it a day, as we had more FPs for other days.
The line for the flight of passage was at this point 190mins...

Our view in the sun from OKW. Over the 12th fairway and "sand trap" (bunker to us!).

Dinner for us was offsite today.
The vote was for the Outback in a change to our usual Red Lobster 1st night tradition. Still doesn't sit comfortably with me...
Honey Rye bread 👍🏻

And new to the menu- the LOADED blooming onion.
Topped with fries, plastic cheese and bacon.
Just when you thought a blooming onion couldn't get any better... 😱

Tusker Breakfast still the best buffet breakfast on property IMO.
The buffet area has been extended and now even greater options on offer.
Beef bobotie, curry, rice and others have been given a bigger area although the toaster is still the slowest toaster in WDW.
Goofy, Mickey, Donald and Daisy had fab interaction.

Daisy is always so glam.
I will always be jealous of her lashes!

The main man on Day 1 sets the trip off on the right footing.
Millie was terrified of fur-characters, so we made a strategic decision to buy autograph books as a way of persuading her to get a bit closer.
This morning we hadn't purchased them yet- there was no way she was saying hello.
She managed a wave at Mickey, and that was an improvement to last trip!
