Woke up early this morning because we had breakfast at Tusker House at around 0930.
Got up and down to the bus stop. For once a bus was sitting there waiting on us. We got to Tusker House exactly at the right time.
Tusker House breakfast is awesome. I would SOOOOO completely recommend this breakfast....and this is coming from a fat man (I am 6'2" 370 pounds). It has a good selection of things. It had eggs in a variety of ways (quiche, scrambled plain and scrambled with meats, etc), normal meat variations (sausage patty, bacon, etc), but also had above and beyond normal fare (roasted, carved ham, some cheese filled pastry, huge fruit bar, cereal selection of around 5 I think, and a yougurt with fixings (granola, fruits, nuts, etc) bar.
Again - I highly recommend this breakfast. It is SO much better than the Breakfastsauranasuas (Or however you spelled the silly thing)
The characters in attendance were Micky, Goofy, Minnie, Donald, and Daisy
After eating as much as we could - we used the fast passes we snagged before breakfast for the safari. Lots of animals were out - which surprised me given the time of day (around 1100-1130) and the heat of the day (smoldering, sticky hot)
After the safari we did he trail walk that is right there next to it and I missed the naked mole rat (The one thing that I wanted to see).
We then rode out to Conservation Station and I watched my wife run in fear because they had the snakes out. My youngest petted them but my wife could not stay in the same building. So we went back to Africa.
We walked on around to Asia. Ran and got fast passes for Everest and then hit the Rapids. When did they put the big freaking gyser in the middle of the route? Maybe they just never have it on when we ride because we normally go in Nov....but dang...soaked my oldest. Not a single inch of the child was dry. He of course loved it and thought it was the coolest. And yes - I got my backside soaked on the drop.
We then went to Dinoland. Rode Premevil Whirl. I like the ride for some odd reason. We then watched Paint, Splatter, and something...was a good show and my son got a certificate from it for helping out.
Then back over to watch Nemo the musical. I have never just loved this show - and well this time was no different - but I did manage to catch a bit of a nap during it.
Then back to ride Dinosaur. A big mistake was made in putting my two sons on this ride. Neither was ready for it. So - not a fun time.
Then back we went for Everest. This was my first time on it. I wound up back to back fast passing it and think I may like it as much as Aerosmith R&R.
Then off to Rainforest for lunch or lupper or dinner/supper or whatever meal you want to call eating at 1500 hours. While it was good food - it was not the quality I have come to expect from Rainforest. The food was just a bit overdone. While we were there we were set up by our travelling companions and had "Happy Anniversery" song and dessert done.
Back into the park we go and we do the last ride of the day - Tough to be a bug. After the show of course there are needed pictures by the first timers and we grab those.
Back to the hotel we go. Get back and head to the arcade and pool. While we are down there we do the night vision goggle viewing thing. Kinda cool.
We finish swimming and return to the room where we start packing for the trip home so we can try to figure out how much stuff from Goofy Candy Company we can fit into our luggage for the ride home.
Tomorrow will be a lazy day were we just catch anything we want...and the only request so far is for Toy Story Mania and to see the Star Wars people (Chewy and original Vader)
