As you can tell by now, we are not early risers on vacation. Once again, we are slow to rise. Today we are heading over to the Animal Kingdom, so we head down to catch the bus. This is the longest we have ever waited for a bus, but finally one shows up. It's fine with us, we are really into our lazy butt touring, so there is no hurry. Today our first stop is Pizzafari.
We have already decided to purchase those "Meal Plus Deals" for 2 adults and 1 child. This works out to be a great deal for us. Terry and I wait in line to order, while the boys go to look for a table. We order 2 adult pepperoni pizza's and a child's pizza(and chips) and all come with large drinks. I get some napkins and head over to look for the boys, while Terry waits for the food. As I walk into the room, I notice my boys are sitting with someone which has caught me by surprise. It's MIke S and his wife Carol! Wow what a surprise. We could not have planned this better. They saw our boys and sat down with them. This was a great since it gave us a chance to enjoy their company once again. Lunch is great and the converstion better. We say our goodbyes and head over to the Festival of the Lion King, as well as Pocahontas and Friends. Both shows are very good, we have always loved the Lion King one, but it was a first for Pocahontas.
As we leave Camp Mickey and Minnie, we notice Flik is signing autographs, so the boys line up. Then we cross the road to get Lilo and Stitch. While they are in line for autographs I head over and turn in the rest of our tickets for a Powerade, a bottled water, a Diet Coke, a frozen banana, a Mickey bar, and a Nestle cookie sandwich. Those tickets are a great deal and we will use them again if we ahve the chance to. We are able to get good spots for the parade and then we decide we better head over to the Polynesian for our ps at Ohana's.
Once we check in at Ohana's it is only a 5 minute wait for our table. We are seated by Paul who starts by harassing us because we are from Buffalo. As we are seated Nicholas asks Paul if he can order Mac and Cheese, which turns into more fun harassing by Paul. He makes a deal with Nick, if Nick eats the regular food, and can get me to sign a doggie bag saying he ate well, then Paul would fill the bag with gummy worms. Nick thinks for a minute and decides its a deal, he'll try the food. Everything is excellent and we all enjooy it thorooughly including Nick.
Ter and the boys do the coconut race and I get lots of pictures. They come back to the table to eat more and the gorgeous woman ( I think her name was Lani) comes out to do the hula dances. My shy guy Zach asks us if he can go do, which is such a surprise to us. This pleases me so to see him up there without his brother (who chose not to do it) having the time of his life. Lani takes a liking to my blond, blue eyed son and she gives him alot of attention. It is so fun and he comes back to the table grinning from ear to ear. He really enjoyed himself and it made my day.
We hop the monorail to the Magic Kingdom and take the boat back to the resort. It's getting really cloudy and a thunderstorm starts. The boys watch the Even Stevens movie in our room, while Terry and I fine a cozy balcony to sit on from teh 5th floor that overlooks the courtyard. This is so relaxing and I don't want to ever leave, but I know our days are soon coming to an end. The storm has stopped and the pool reopened, so that is were we are heading for a swim before we go to sleep. THe hot tub is so relaxing I cold sleep right here. Back to the room for some TV and sleep.
Coming tomorrow....Animal Kingdom Lodge and Disney Quest
