Day 6
The first thing I like to do
when waking up is stretching out. It seems when I am at Disney most
of the time, my leg starts to cramp. This morning, after waking up, I start to
stretch. I feel my muscle starting to cramp,
so I immediately get up and start to rub the muscle to stop the cramp and
relieve the pain. Yesterday it was my bad right muscle, today my good
left muscle. I even take a hot bath to help the muscle. But anyway, on to my day.
Another problem, I forgot to
charge my scooter last night. I am just so very tired, keep forgetting to
do things.
Today is my Animal Kingdom
day. I have breakfast at Boma. To get
there from Art of Animation, I will take a bus to Animal Kingdom, then another
bus to Animal Kingdom Lodge.
shirt of
the day
I know people haven’t been
able to sleep not knowing what shirt I will wear to Disney’s Animal
Kingdom. I pick this shirt I got from
J&R Music World (been closed for years) that celebrated Disney on Broadway. There is a show in DAK based on The Lion
King. Not that I will go to that show,
but figure its close enough anyway.
Bright day out
No bus issues,
make good time to Jambo House at Animal Kingdom
Lodge.
I check in, they take my phone number and I
get a text message right away that they will seat me.
As usual, I am seated all the
way in the back, any further, I would be on the other side of the wall to the
restaurant. I have one made to order omelet, some scrambled eggs, toast,
bagel with lox and cream cheese. Sounds more then it actual is. The bill, like the sign…$29.
Made my way back to Animal
Kingdom. Once in the park, head
towards Avatarland.
Once in the Animal Kingdom, I
am surprised how crowded it is. The walkways are full of people.
Makes it very hard to make
it to my first thing, Na’vi River Journey. I
have a fast pass for it. I get there a
little earlier, so I kill time till it’s a couple of minutes before I thought I
can show up. I ride it just to say I rode it.
I still have too many credits
to burn up in a couple of days, so I get a mickey
pretzel with melted cheese and a blue Powerade.
Its hot, but find a place to sit and eat this.
I still prefer the red over
the blue Powerade, but the red is harder to find.
Next up is Kilimanjaro
Safari. Again I am early but I am able to board. Ride that
too. It seems shorter then pervious rides.

Tree of Life
Next up is lunch at Yak N
Yeti. I get there and check in about 30 minutes early, I am warned I
probably wont be seated till my ADR time, but called
and seated about 10 minutes later.
I get the pot stickers,
which was ok.
The main entrée was Ribs over a bed of fries.
I hardly touch the fries and
finish off the ribs. Dessert is cheese wontons with ice cream and vanilla
sauce. Best part of the meal.
$50.97
I go to Its
tough to be a bug. The person before me was the last person allowed into
the theater, no room,. So I will wait for the next
show. I park in the rear and move down one row. Seen the show
before, its ok.
Now I am very tired, my
scooter battery is showing several LED’s turning off indicating the battery is
getting low. So I head back to Animal Kingdom Lodge, Jambo
House. I find a place to plug in my scooter to charge. I find a sofa for myself to sit on in the
main lobby. I try to close my eyes for a
bit. There is some entertainment going on with a drum beating and I cant close my eyes. Finally it is over. I close
my eyes, but don’t fall asleep. My adr is for
I am the second person to be
seated. Something is wrong, I have a table way
up front. I am usually brought to the rear. I am seated up front,
first row of tables. No one is seated yet which is a good thing.
There is either a normal chair and the other a long
sofa. I realize something is wrong as when I move to and from my seat, I
am moving the whole section. So I switch to the chair, my server notices
and calls over some help to try and fix the seat, they do, I am not sure, but
maybe I moved it, I stay and sit in the chair. Again, not eating allot I
take care of the check and head back to Animal kingdom. But I do have some Zebra Domes.
$49

Once back in the park, I go
to Guest Relations to find out info about the Rivers of Light Dessert
Party. I get the location and time and head to the location about an hour
earlier. They wont allow people in for about
another 45 minutes. Other people come and go. They finally start
letting people in. I am the second group to be let in, problem, I am in a
scooter, but this entrance there are steps involved. I thought to leave
the scooter outside nervous about taking the time to use a
alternate entrance. But it works out good as they have two tables
reserved for handicap, I claim one.
They have some usual sugar
dessert made special for this dessert party. Boma
for breakfast serves what they call Jungle Juice,
I tried it years ago with my parents, I didn’t
like it. I tried it tonight, it tasted good. They must have changed
the recipe. I also had some red wine. They served ice cream, I had a cookies and crème ice cream sandwich. I am posting on social media what I am
doing. The question comes up, why aren’t
I drinking any alcoholic beverages? So I
get a glass of red wine and post it.
not grape juice
As the show was getting ready to start, I
setup my cameras, 1: my smartphone to broadcast live
and a action camera to record it in 4k. Interesting show. Will see it again one day I am
sure. The manager of the show was chatting with a family behind me.
Said something about a preshow, so
I started to record about
I broadcast the show live on Facebook, here is that video.
After the show was over, just
called it a night and headed back to my resort
