Second to the last day at Disney
I slept in as usual this morning. Woke up in a fog, put on my robe and went to the vending machine across the hall to get a Coke. Was greeted by a Mousekeeping CM, but I was too sleepy to be embarrassed.
Finally made it to Epcot around 10:30 am. Got Fast Passes for Test Track (you *can* use your passport and your Disney Resort key to get two passes at the same time), and then went shopping. We decided to kill some time and went to Ellen's Energy Adventure. A lot of people don't care for her, but I think she can be funny occasionally. Hard to believe that Jamie Lee Curtis started her career in cheap horror movies (she's in Ellen dream as a "Jeopardy" contestant). She really is a class act.
Anyway, got through Test Track once before it broke down for an hour, and then rode through again. It's an OK ride, but I can go faster on the freeway at home.
Had some junk food for lunch, and then headed to The Art of Disney and bought the Disney Art Classic piece with Yen Sid and Mickey that I'd had my eye on all year.
We then drove over to the Animal Kingdom and saw The Festival of the Lion King. This is such a good show. Very well done and a lot of fun. We were in the Lion section.
Kilimanjaro Safari was next. Our tour guide was a native of Boston Massachusetts which must be on the southern tip of Africa. Actually he was the best guide I've had on this ride. He was very knowledgeable, personable and funny.
Came back to the Wilderness Lodge for a little rest, and then headed out to Steak n' Shake. The food is reasonable and tastes good. Just wish I could get the cook or the waiter to get my order right once. There's always next year........though it's kinda a pain to get back and forth to the Crossroads on a Saturday night.
The food revived me, and we went to the Magic Kingdom for the Fantasy in the Sky fireworks display, and the late showing of the Main Street Electrical Parade. It was cool seeing the MSEP floats without the lights yesterday on the Backstage Tour, but I really enjoyed seeing the parade all lit up as well. It brings back many fond memories of childhood. They did some tweaking of the soundtrack to MSEP for the Christmas season, and there are some Christmas carols interspersed with the familiar electronica.
Tomorrow: MGM and going home. I have really missed Bandit, my lab. I'll be very happy to see him.
Expenses:
Food: $21.00
Disney Art Classic and Pins: Never mind
