Animal Kingdom / Magic Kingdom – Day 4 – Part 3
After our nap, we were going to go swimming and check with the concierge at club level to see if we could get our free FPs changed over for magic kingdom. However, we decided to skip swimming and just go back to AK and use our FPs, and afterwards we would go to MK.
So we get on the bus, which we were the only ones, since AK was closing in 2 hours, and our bus driver talked to us about celebrations in her country. She never really told us where she was from – I just know it wasn’t Puerto Rico, since I mentioned something about my old roommate doing something similar to how she celebrated, and her reaction made it seem like she wasn’t. Anyways, very nice person. Interesting to talk to.
When we got to MK, so many people were leaving! It must have looked weird, us entering the park.
But we decided to use our first FP on the Safari (again) since DINOSAUR was still down. We sat in the back, again, but it didn’t seem as bumpy this time.
Our next FP we used on Everest again. I told Kenny if we road the rapids, and I got wet I’d have to go back and change… so we both decided Everest was the best timesaving ride.
And then off to MK! A lot of people were heading over that way, and it had EMH, so I was a little worried about it being packed, but it wasn’t that bad.
We ended up getting a FP for Winnie the Pooh, which I just think is the cutest ride!
And then we did Enchanted Tales With Belle… Only a 20 minute wait, which was great!
I love the decorations in the cottage! And that mirror effect was amazing! Kenny wasn’t super impressed, he was just like “Yeah, that’s cool.” But I was totally enthralled with it.
When they ask if anyone wanted a part that didn’t get it… I raised my hand…
I ended up being the dog foot stool thing, and I loved the show! I think we’d only do it once a trip, but still cute.
And then we decided to eat at Pinocchio Village Haus. I got the caprese flatbread (which was very good) and Kenny got the meatball sub. For our desserts (since we were on the
DDP, but even though I’m a HUGE sweets person I was starting to get sick of desserts) we got the chocolate cake and chocolate gelato. The cake got finished; the gelato almost didn’t get opened.
When we passed Peter Pan, the fireworks were starting in 20 minutes, and it was only a 40 minute wait, we thought, oh we can totally do this!
Wrong. We ended up waiting an hour, and we got stuck behind a lot of people with FPs after the fireworks, but we did get to ride it!
After Peter Pan, we caught the ended to the 2nd Celebrate The Magic, and then sat down and found spots for the 2nd Electrical Parade, we didn’t get to see it last year, so I was glad we caught it this year!
After the parade, we ended up walking through some stores on main street. I bought the Cinderella’s Castle Pandora charm. It was a hard choice between that and Belle’s dress (I almost bought both). And we had a looooong wait for a bus.
We ended up walking almost 25,000 steps this day!
