Walt Disney World – Day 6 (5/5/16) Recap/Summary
Trip log:
Started off my morning boarding a bus to the Animal Kingdom just after 8am. Arrived at the park just before they opened the gates to reach Discovery Island. Made my way out to the Island and watched the opening then met up with a friend to roam the park. We strolled out to Africa and ended up going through Pangani Forest. Walked over to Asia and continued on around the Rivers of Light Viewing area and met up with the rest of the group near Dinoland. Continued around the lake and then back to Asia and eventually back to Africa and found a spot to visit for a while. Decided it was lunch time so most headed to Flame Tree and I ran to Dinoland to grab something then joined them to eat. After eating made our way to the front of the park and said our goodbyes before our friend left and we boarded a bus to the Magic Kingdom. Enroute decided to roam around the Magic Kingdom (originally the plan was just to go catch the Monorail). We walked up Main Street USA and some stopped at Sleepy Hollow. Then made our way into Liberty Square, just missing the Liberty Belle. So we continued on to Frontierland and stopped by Grizzly Hall for a show. When we exited Festival of Fantasy was just about to begin so we watched the parade then went over to the Liberty Belle for a cruise on the Rivers of America. Once back a shore decided to do a couple Sorcerers of the Magic Kingdom stops and pick up some cards. Decided to go for the Grand Circle Tour on the Walt Disney World Railroad. Then boarded the Ferry Boat for the Transportation and Ticket Center. We then transferred to the Epcot Monorail. At Epcot stopped by the Electric Umbrella for something to eat then roamed around Future World. Had about an hour until Illuminations so decided to do a lap of World Showcase starting with Mexico. Made it around to the International Gateway and had about 10 minutes until showtime so had to pick up the pace and skip some topiaries. Checked in for FastPass+ viewing of Illuminations. After the show joined the masses heading for the bus stops. Eventually made it back to Pop Century to call it a night.
