Walt Disney World Day 5 (5/03/14) – summary & trip log
Started off this rainy morning boarding a bus to Epcot just after 8:30am.
Arrived at the park and the rain picked up. I met up with a friend and they wanted some coffee so we stopped by the Fountain View then went into the building behind (where the Epcot timeline is on the wall) and hung out while the rain continued to fall.
Chip and Dale paid us a visit for a while as we waited.
The rain eased up so we ventured out and started to circle World Showcase.
First stop the MIB (Muppet Investigative Bureau) and then we strolled through Mexico and stopped by Norway’s Bakery and the Stave Church.
Continued on past China and around to Germany followed by Italy and the American Adventure as part of the MIB activity.
Strolled by Morocco and into France.
Circled back so they could eat in Morocco then wrapped up the World Showcase walk and headed for the front of the park.
I hopped on the Monorail to the Magic Kingdom and met some of my group on Main Street.
Grabbed a quick bite at Cosmic Rays then we wandered by the Mine Train and through Fantasyland to Liberty Square.
Decided to go for a ride on the Liberty Belle and then found a spot for the Festival of Fantasy Parade.
After the parade found the rest of our group on Main Street and they all decided to stop for Dole Whips and Citrus Swirls.
We then parted ways, some staying at MK and doing the Jungle Cruise. The rest of us made a quick Fastpass+ request for the Safari at Animal Kingdom and headed off via bus to the park.
Once we arrived at the Animal Kingdom strolled through the park and out to the Safari and walked right on.
Once back walked through Pangani Forest.
At this point the rest of the group headed back to Kidani and I hopped on a bus to the Beach Club and walked to Epcot.
Grabbed a quick dinner at Liberty Inn then found a spot for the Flower Power Concert.
After the show walked around World Showcase stopping to watch Off Kilter in Canada then made my way to the park entrance and hopped on a Monorail to the Magic Kingdom arriving with about half an hour until the MSEP.
Decided to walk up Main Street,
through Liberty Square and Fantasyland to check out the Mine Train After Dark.
About 5 minutes until parade time made my way up Main Street and found a spot in the second row right in front of Exposition Hall.
The light drizzle turned to a light rain and as the parade wrapped up and the eagle made its way up Main Street the rain really began to fall.
At 9:45pm Celebrate the Magic was started and it was raining fairly hard at this point. It let up a bit during the show.
I stuck around for Wishes at 10pm then made my way to the bus stops and back to Kidani to call it a night and dry out.
I managed just over 13 hours, most of which was in the rain today.
