Break Day! We had planned a couple days to rest and recover from Disney Park overload. We still planned things to do but we kept it to just dinner reservations.
We swam during the day. Then we napped. Well the kids did anyway. We went to the grocery store, did laundry, drank coffee, etc.
Then we headed out to dinner at Animal Kingdom Lodge. Charlotte loves to pretend to fall asleep. She was pretending here. She's pretty good, huh?
She's still trying to pretend and Tommy is swording around in the back. :)
We got to Animal Kingdom Lodge early so we could walk around and check out the animals. Sooooo cool. All the rooms on this side opened up to the animal sanctuary. Giraffes could practically be licking your door in the morning.
There were so many animals to see. They were just hanging out.
Cool Hand Tommy LOVED it.
There was a guide telling us about the animals and he called Charlotte a princess. Charlotte responded by saying "I'm Rora" as in Princess Aurora. She then proceeded to sing "I Know You" at the top of her lungs. Like Andrew, heavy metal screaming the lyrics. Hilarious. "I WALK-ed with you ONCE uPON a DREAAAAAMMMM!!! I KNOOOWWW YYOOOOUUUUU..." It was even a deep voice too. Funny gal.
Can you spot Tommy? ;-)
The kids really enjoyed the views of the whole resort. Very cool place all around.
We spent some time in the gift shop basically trying to convince our kids they didn't need toys just yet.
Then we met our reservation for
Boma. It was so exciting. Flavors of Africa. We had heard many great things about this place so we were looking forward to it.
This was officially Tommy's first real buffet. The chef came out and took us along all the food on the buffet and said what Tommy could eat and what he couldn't. We tried this at Chef Mickey's but the buffet had so little that he could eat that we opted to just order a kid's meal instead. This place, however, had lots of food he could eat so he was excited to pick a few things out.
He had a couple different meats, fruit, and rice. I wouldn't call him an adventurous eater just yet. :)
Charlotte enjoyed most of the soups and noodles... the meats... the fruit.. the desserts... pretty much everything. She also enjoyed Tommy's dessert because he wouldn't eat it. He's not a fan of raspberry sorbet I guess.
After our meal, we hung out in the lobby. The kids were so excited to watch Disney Jr. It's the little things, folks. Bring your kids to Disney World and all they want to do is watch tv and swim in the pool. Haha!!
We made them back up a little bit. They were blocking the views of all the other kids.
The lobby was gorgeous!!! What a neat place. We looked into it. It was definitely expensive. While a giraffe at your door would be fun, our condo worked for us just fine!
We headed home at a very decent hour so that we could amp up for Epcot the next day. Whoo hoo!!
