Thank you for all your lovely comments so far.

The following day had originally been planned as an Animal Kingdom day but when we couldn’t get FP’s for Flight of Passage until 2.15 we decided to have a morning shopping trip instead. We headed off to Altamonte Mall as dd’s like Hollister and Abercrombie & Fitch which is so expensive at home in Ireland. Unfortunately though our shopping trips on this holiday were not at all successful. We just didn’t find the bargains we had done on previous trips. We had packed 2 suitcases inside 2 suitcases on our way out and in the past we would have to reign ourselves in so as to not go over our luggage allowance. That didn’t happen this time. In fact one suitcase was just full of goodies from our leftover snack credits on the dining plan but more on that later!

After Altamonte Mall we headed back to the Lake Beuna Vista outlets. I normally come out of the GAP outlet here with 2 bags full of clothes, especially their tracksuit bottoms which I find so comfortable for lounging around in. They had none at all, even the girls didn’t find anything and they are rather sporty. We left feeling a little deflated and headed to Animal Kingdom. We hadn’t eaten all morning so went to the Yak & Yeti quick service and shared the following:

Honey chicken. As you can see it was so good I forgot to take a picture until it was half eaten!

And a teriyaki beef bowl.

The girls did comment about the containers (they like eating out of the boxes as "its more American") but it was so much easier to share with these ones.

We then headed onto our Flight of Passage fastpass just stopping on the way at Satu'li Canteen for a Pandoran Sunrise. I don't seem to have a picture but it was a nice refreshing drink. We had the blueberry cream cheese mousse on our list of things to try but alas none of us ever felt hungry enough to get one. Maybe next time.

Now its true what they say about Flight of Passage - it is absolutely fantastic. I'm a bit weird when it comes to rides - I will go on Expedition Everest but not Tower of Terror, I'll go on Revenge of the Mummy at Universal but will not step near a rollercoaster that goes upside down (but did go on RockNRoller a few times - see I told you I was weird!). Anyway all I would say is you MUST MUST MUST go on FoP. To quote my older girls it is "awesome", my youngest wasn't too keen on it first time round and took her glasses off but we were lucky enough to have 2 more fastpasses for it later in the holiday and she loved it on those occasions.

We had a 6pm ADR at Tusker House. The heavens had opened at about 5pm so we had no choice but to sit it out in the waiting area which was absolutely jam packed with everyone trying to keep out of the rain. Anyway we finally got called in about 30 minutes after our reservation time and to be honest we probably won't be going back again. We were a little underwhelmed by the food. I would add we have been here before and loved it but on this occasion we just didn't. So much so I seem to only have photos of desserts.

A shame you didn't enjoy dinner at Tuskers. We've had breakfast there and loved it. The food at the mall looks tasty.
