2 weeks with the family... are we crazy?! Day 12

[Lizzim]

11 Oct

Today we had another later start, followed by a trip across to Mall at Millenia with Mum and Dad. I think the others went to Old Town Kissimmee for a little while.

We did a bit more shopping – Rob got shoes and a new watch strap, I got a Vera Bradley bag, and we got some kitchen bits at Williams Sonoma

We had a late lunch in Cheesecake Factory – I had pasta and Rob had a burger which were good as always. I also got a slice of red velvet cake to go as I had learned my lesson from last year (always get cheesecake even if you have to take it away with you!)

We dropped off our bags and then headed across to Animal Kingdom for 1700 leaving just enough time to ride Navi River with our first FP.

The others had arrived at the park just before us and we met them just outside the ride and then we all headed over to Dinoland. Here we took a ride on Dinosaur with our second and then the others went to grab some food. The 4 of us (Rob, Mum, Dad and I) decided we would endure a spin on Primeval Whirl as it had a 25 min wait posted – it actually took 10 minutes which wasn’t too bad.

Oh and we saw these super cute Dinos!

When they got back from eating Kev, Sharna, Blake and Leona went on Primeval Whirl but they had a slightly longer wait.

We then headed over to the Rivers of Light FP area - I didn’t want to go in so early as I find it really uncomfortable and stuffy so decided to stay out. Having seen the show before I didn’t mind missing out if I couldn’t get in. I wandered around for a little while and got a photo taken with one of the lanterns.

I did eventually head in about 5 minutes before the start and found a seat at the end of a row which was good. I got a few nice pictures from where I was seated.

The odd thing was after the show our stroller (which had been ‘valet parked’) was really far away…not an issue for us but very weird.

We all walked back to the parking lot and headed home where I then had my cheesecake with some Batman ice cream before bed!
