Trip log:
Started off the morning heading for the Magic Kingdom. Arrived on Main Street as the Trolley Show was rolling into Town Square so took in the performance then wandered up Main Street, through the Castle and into Fantasyland. Waited about 20 minutes for Peter Pan so I could explore the new queue. Then walked over to the Jingle Cruise, no wait so went for a trip. Doubled back to the Haunted Mansion and it went down one group in front of me so I had to walk out of the queue and did not get to ride. Stopped by Buzz instead, about a 10 minute wait, then headed for the exit. Stopped to watch the Dapper Dans on Main Street on the way out. Waited for a bus to the Animal Kingdom. Once there hiked out to Pangani Forest to find the rest of my group then we doubled back to Pizzafari for lunch. After lunch returned to Pangani then waited about 40 minutes for the Safari (it was posted at 30). Walked around the Tree of Life (using the Tough to Be a Bug exit trail) and spotted Tarzan along the way. Headed for the exit and a bus back to the Beach Club to meet some friends. We all headed to Yachtsman Steakhouse for dinner. After dinner roamed around the Yacht Club then Beach Club before going to Epcot. Walked to Future World and wandered around the Fountain of Nations and Spaceship Earth then went to find a spot in the FastPass+ area for Illuminations. After the show slowly made my way to the International Gateway and back to the Beach Club to call it a night.
