Day 8 aka last park day
Today is my last full day at
the parks. I have no adr’s
for Breakfast. Lunch is at Yak N Yeti,
dinner at Le Cellier.
So my day will start at Animal Kingdom, then
finish at Epcot.
With no place to head for breakfast,
I decide to sleep. I leave my room about
When I left my room, it felt very hot, but now feel a cool breeze waiting for
the bus.
Todays Yankee incident. Entering the Animal Kingdom, a security
guard yelled out a negative
comment about "that Yankee Fan” L
I ride Safari now
After safari, I went to check
into yak n yeti. Had pot stickers,
strip
steak with battered fried shrimp,
and cheese
wontons with ice cream.
After eating, I went on Kali
River Rapids.
There was a nice long line
for Kali, but since I had the GAC pass I had about a 5 minute wait. Now here is a ride spoiler J It used to be the person at
the top of the raft would get soaked first, now it’s the person at the
bottom. When I went to get my scooter
after the first ride, the CM asked if I wanted to go again, said ok, so I got
back in line. The second ride, got me
wet enough that my cloth pants were pretty wet the rest of the night, felt
damp, but it was ok.
After waiting on line for the second time, the CM’s
were warned about pending weather front moving in, so I decided to leave after
the second ride anyway
I left the Animal Kingdom and boarded the bus to Epcot.
There was a light quick rain
shower passing over while on the way to Epcot.
Did Spaceship Earth.
No hat issues this time. Hummm…. No problems
during the day, only at nights.
Here is the Your Future post
ride postcard. The hat is unedited, but
no sound L see the previous video for sound.
Then I did Soarin, then living with the land.
Did imagination next. They
made everyone remove things like hats and sun glasses from their heads. Odd
I rode around World Showcase.
I did
and
I still have about 45 minutes
before adr at Le Cellier.
I squeezed in Mission Space
and made it to Le Cellier 7 minutes early.
They had something new for a appetizer, pork buns with
cucumber and spicy mayo, so I went with the cheese soup again. Today I notice they only have the bowl
option, no cup.
Had the steak , t bone.
And they don't have the whisky cake for dinner, just lunch now. They have a
trio of chocolate dessert which includes a small piece of the whisky cake
I say goodbye to the theme parks for this trip and head back to my resort to
drop off the scooter and head to Downtown Disney.
I got off at the first stop,
The Marketplace and start wondering into one shop after another.
I stop into The Art of Disney
Store. I see they have this light box sculpture of Captain Nemo
playing the organ. I was always
intrigued by these items, but always wanted a 20,000 Leagues themed one. I can’t find a price on display, so I ask a
worker there. After a minute of looking
in the stock room, she tells me its $90.
Most of the others were in the $65 to $75 range. I am so tempted to get it, but I don’t.
Why am I going to Downtown
Disney, without the scooter? I don’t even know why I was going there at all.
Why not take the scooter? Its one of the few bus routes to or from Pop Century that the bus
could be full, and you could wind up waiting for multiple buses that can handle
a scooter.
I stopped into Baby Cakes, and
try out a donut with a snack option. The
receipt said I only had one left. I thought I should have two so I called my
resort and they looked it over. The register at the place didn’t double charge
me, even though she appeared to have problems entering it, it took her multiple
swipes of my card to deduct the snack credit.
I then looked for a store that sold red PowerAde that takes the snack
plan. After being directed by a store to a cart outside.
I found the cart and asked if they take the snack dining plan said they took
it, charged me my last snack credit, then she almost couldn’t find it. but finally found one And I finished it off in a minute or
two.
Walking around downtown
Disney, they had lots of entertainment going on, but I was just content on walking.
When I looked at the Adventurers club, it looked like they removed the name
from the building, but the building is still there.
I then headed to the
The way they set up the signs
for the bus stations, it’s a little confusing. So I asked what resort they are
waiting for, to make sure I was waiting in the right place. The return bus was full. There were two
scooters, and they are probably still waiting. Lucky I didn’t take the scooter. Just don’t ask how my leg is feeling L
When I got back to my room
there was a message on my room’s phone thanking me for staying there, letting
me know checkout is
Laying in bed, I almost don’t want to go to sleep, because
when I wake up, my trip will be over, well the Disney portion, still have
another train ride to look forward to.
