Disney Vacation Part Ten: Animal Kingdom and Magic Kingdom Fireworks

Throughout this trip since we were there for so many days we ended up going back and repeating parks many times. We really did get to do every single thing we wanted to do.

On this day we headed back to Animal Kingdom since we wanted to ride Avatar Flight of Passage again. We ended up getting a fast pass for it around noon time so we ran to do a couple of other rides first.

Kali River Rapids was down the first day we were at Animal Kingdom and Tim really wanted to ride it so we headed to the standby line which was non-existent. After getting wet (I wore my poncho which I highly recommend doing) we headed over to Everest where we met a fifteen minute wait for standby. At this point any line felt like a long line to us but we were super spoiled after a few days with no waits at all. We ended up riding Everest and then heading over to Pandora.


It was just as beautiful as it was earlier in the week!


The amount of work and detail that went into this place is absolutely incredible. I can't say enough good things about Disney for creating such a beautiful park.


We rode Flight of Passage again wishing we could just ride it over and over. Then Tim decided to get a green beer to give it a try. He said it was good but wasn't really his type of beer.

We walked towards the front of the park because our plan for lunch was the Rainforest Cafe.


Despite not having a reservation we walked right in and found ourselves surrounded by a jungle.



Tim ordered a plate of nachos for lunch while I chose a pesto pasta. Both were more then we could eat!



We decided before heading out of the park we would go on the safari again because it's never the same twice!






We still didn't see any lions but had a great time again!

Then it was time to go back to the hotel to rest.


Have you ever been to the Disney lost and found?



We have! Tim had to file a report about a hat he lost during our dinner at Via Napoli.

We decided since we were on the monorail system to have dinner at the Polynesian but since both restaurants were both booked up and the food served at the bar wasn't really our taste we ate in the food court.


Pizza flatbread for the win!

Then it was time for the most magical night show in Disney. Happily Ever After at the Magic Kingdom.






The projections on the castle were incredible, the fireworks were amazing, the music made me cry. Disney has outdone itself with this show and I thought it was the best I've ever seen. 

I had watched the first night of the show when it was featured on Facebook but there was honestly no comparison to seeing it in person. I can't recommend it highly enough, you have to go to Disney and see this show!!!

After the fireworks we saw no reason to rush out since the buses would be crowded to we rode Buzz Lightyear Space Ranger Spin again.


Check out my score! Now ready for Tim's score?


I finally defeated him!

We managed to get on Space Mountain before closing and then it was time to walk down Main Street U.S.A one last time.





Such an amazing day! Alright guys...only one more recap to go!

Disney Vacation Part Nine: ESPN Club, Meeting Belle, Disney Springs

Good morning! Today I'm sharing our Sunday in Disney which started with some football at the ESPN Club on the Boardwalk.

We took a bus from our hotel to Hollywood Studios and then hopped onto the boat to get to the Boardwalk. It sounds like a lot of switching transportation but it wasn't too bad.




Once we arrived at the Boardwalk we had a bit of time until ESPN Club opened up so we waited for a bit outside and ate some breakfast from the Boardwalk Bakery.



It was such a beautiful day and we enjoyed eating our breakfast in the sun.


The ESPN Club was something Tim picked out and decided we were doing for football. I told him I didn't care where we watched the game and he did his research to find the best spot for us to watch.



It was a cute concept and they even had some trivia going on before the game. Tim won a t-shirt which was pretty cool.




We ended up getting some nachos which were delicious!


We also had some drinks and enjoyed watching the games (Patriots for me and Eagles for Tim) We had a great time and would highly recommend checking out this location if you are looking for a place to watch any games while you are in Disney.

After the games were over we walked through Epcot to meet my favorite character....


Belle!



We told her all about our dinner the night before at the Beast's castle and took a few pictures.





We then worked our way out of Epcot to the buses since Tim wasn't feeling very well. We decided to rest back at the hotel for a little while.

When Tim was feeling better we headed to Disney Springs for dinner. We decided on Planet Hollywood and were able to get in within five minutes without any reservation.


I had the macaroni and cheese which was delicious.


Tim got the mac and cheese burger which he said was delicious as well.

Planet Hollywood is in major cities and I know I've been to one in NYC before but Tim had never been so it's something you have to experience at least once!

After dinner we walked through the shops and Tim tried on some hats...



I think it looks great!


I also made Tim pose with Buzz Lightyear before we headed to the bus to go back to the hotel. It was a fun night and we picked up a few gifts and some things for ourselves as well. Gotta love Disney shopping :)

Have a great day everybody and stay tuned for more posts!
