Walt Disney World Day 2 (4/30/14) – summary & trip log
Started off the morning well before sun rise with a 5:30am wake up call. Grabbed a quick snack and was out from to catch a cab by 6:00am and on my way to Disney’s Oak Trail for a quick 9 holes of golf (once the sun came up).
Played my round and was back in a cab on my way to Kidani by 8:30am. Took a shower, ate breakfast, and was off again by 9:30am.
First stop today, the Animal Kingdom.
Made my way through the park and out to Africa.
The wait for the safari was more than my patience so walked Pangani then took the train out to Conservation Station.
Once back checked the Safari, again too long, so stopped at Pizzafari for lunch. Then made my way to Dinoland for a ride on Dinosaur (using a Fastpass+).
Caught a little of the Dinoland dance party then walked quickly to make the 1pm Flights of Wonder.
Explored the Jungle Trek afterwards and then hiked over to Expedition Everest.
Some of the group used Fastpass+ to ride. Then we all headed for Africa to use our Fastpass+ for the Safari.
Made our way to the bus stops as it started to drizzle. Arrived at Epcot and it was drizzling a little.
Roamed through Innoventions and Club Cool on my way to World Showcase.
It was raining off and on by this point. We decided to take the long way to the international gateway (meaning walk all the way around starting at Mexico) since it was not raining too bad.
We made it as far as Japan and the skies opened.
We hung out for 20 minutes or so in Japan watching the rain waiting for a break in the down pour so we could move on, we had 5:30pm dinner reservations at Shula’s.
It let up but was still a steady rain when we decided to make a break for it. Walked quickly through the rain. Once we reached the Boardwalk the rain finally let up. We arrived only a couple minutes late and the others in our group were already seated. After dinner the plan was to take a Friendship launch to the Studios then head back to Kidani since it was still raining.
Unfortunately I forgot to check the time schedule and the Studios closed at 6pm so that failed. We ended up taking a bus to the Magic Kingdom. The rain was letting up so some of us made our way into the Magic Kingdom for a couple of hours.
Walked on several attractions. Starting with Buzz in Tomorrowland, the over to the Little Mermaid in Fantasyland as well as Small World.
Finished off the trip with the Haunted Mansion. It was about 9pm and we were getting tired after the early morning so decided to head back to Main Street and caught a bus back to Kidani.
