Walt Disney World – Day 5 (12/11/15) Summary
Trip log:
Started off the morning roaming around the Beach Club and the Beach Club Villas taking some pictures of our room, the lobbies, and pool area then heading out to catch a bus to the Animal Kingdom. Walked back and onto the Safari, only about a 10 minute total wait including the hike through the queue. After our Safari stopped by Wonders of Flight followed by the Jungle Trek to see the Tigers. Decided it was lunch time so some stopped for lunch in Asia and others of us in Pizzafari. After lunch hung around Discovery Island taking some pictures including the Rivers of Light construction and the Winged Encounter show before meeting up with more of our group. Made our way out to Pangani Forest and to check the standby line for the Safari. Saw the gorillas then the rest of the group headed for Everest to use their FastPasses and I roamed around Harambe and Discovery Island heading for a bus to Epcot, Monorail to the TTC and Ferry Boat to the Magic Kingdom. Walked up Main Street USA through the crowd waiting for the parade. Watched the Festival of Fantasy Parade from the hub before heading for Tomorrowland and ride aboard the Peoplemover. Once back took in a showing of the Carousel of Progress. Wandered into Frontierland and caught a trio in front of Grizzly Hall then a showing of the Country Bears before boarding the Liberty Belle for a cruise on the Rivers of America. Returned to Tomorrowland to find the rest of my group and go for a second ride aboard the Peoplemover. Returned to the hub to find a spot for the nightly Castle Lighting show/moment. After the Frozen gang lit the castle I hung around to get some pictures of it before making my way through the crowds and out of the park (it was nearing park closing of 7pm). Hopped on a waiting bus and took it back to the Beach Club. Grabbed something to eat at Hurricane Hannas before heading for Epcot. Watched the opening few songs of the British Revolution then made my way around World Showcase to the American Adventure for Candlelight. After the performance wandered around Morocco and France before searching for a spot for Illuminations. Ended up watching from several spots along the bridge and walkway starting near France and ending up near Canada. After Illuminations returned to the International Gateway and the Beach Club to call it a night.
