Ok, I think I figured out how to get to the closest bus stop to my resort room. However, I think the closest may be off the lobby which is not that far a walk from my room. It looks like I'm between 2 of the stops at the back of the resort. Both are a walk, which I don't really care about, and I don't know why I'm insisting on using the stop at the back of the resort, when the front is the SAME bus that picks up the back first. However, I'd probably be guaranteed a seat if I used the second stop at the back of the resort. I'm sure all of this is moot when I tell you that I have my own personal avatar and banshee ready to take me wherever I need to go.
Well... not really... let me explain.
Today began at Disney's Animal Kingdom. I do love the Animal Kingdom, expect by 1:00pm, it did feel like we were on the African Savannah. It was a very warm day today - no rain. We began with a walk though the Gorilla area where where more than gorillas, there were birds and fish as well. It was a nice walk. Check the Facebook or the Insta(gram) in for pics forthcoming. After that was the Safari trip. There were a lot of animals out this morning, which made the trip exciting, as well as our driver, who was quite candid and very thorough. Then it was a trip down Kali River Rapids, where the adults decided to wear a poncho, and the men decided to rough it. A poncho? Really? It's Florida, you'll dry in minutes, which we did. Lunch at the Yak and Yetti counter service where food was consumed and sparkling conversation took place.
Then it was off to "Flights Of Passage" in the new land modeled after the movie "Avatar". Remember that? It's suppose to have had a few sequels by now. <cue crickets>. Anyhow, they'll some pics from the area posted in the usual places, but the ride... OMG the ride.... It was like "Soarin" but you're on a bike, which is basically your banshee, this is after of course, you've been "scanned" and assigned an "Avatar". The ride itself is a technological feat in itself. It's really amazing. Hopefully, we'lol get back before the end of our stay.
After that was "Expedition Everest" which is probably the best roller coaster ever. Today did not dissapoint.
I headed back to the room for some quiet time and a short snooze, and set off to meet everyone else at the Boardwalk for dinner. I took the bus to EPCOT, walked through Future World and part of World Showcase and exited the park near France and took the path to the Boardwalk resort and met everyone for dinner. After a great meatball sub and a cucumber salad, we walked along the Boardwalk and around to the Yacht Club resort and dropped off Mason and Joe, and the rest of us headed back to EPCOT for a ride on "Test Track" and "The Grand Fiesta Tour - Featuring the 3 Cabilleros" and walked around back to France and walked back to the Yacht Club, stopped for a drink and some more sparkling conversation and I said my goodbyes, got a time to meet up tomorrow and called for an Uber to get back to my resort.
Uber really was the best wat to get back to my resort. Otherwise, I'd have to walk through EPCOT again to get the bus, or take a bus from the Yacht Club to a theme park and then a bus back to my resort. Well, it was kinda fate that I took an Uber back, because that was the best Uber ride I've ever taken. My driver proceeded to test my knowledge of Disney by playing clips of theme park music and I had to guess what attractions they were from. Needless to say, I did great, 10/10 - a Disney fanatic as he put it. You can check out this dude at his Facebook page "The Dynamic Disney Fan" HERE.
What a way to end the day!
Tomorrow, EPCOT!! I know, I know, I've been there twice already!!!UIKeyInputUpArrow
