Trip Report: Poly Pulled Pork Nachos (Day 3, Part 4 | November 2020)

 Then, we slowly moseyed out of the park. I saw some birds being fed near the front of the park. The natural Florida birds kept trying to steal food so the Cast Member had to keep shooing them away. They aren’t just aggressive when it comes to your food.

We took a bus to the Grand Floridian. The plan was to eat dinner at the Polynesian so we were going to take in the other monorail resorts first. There were no Christmas decorations, but it’s still a beautiful resort.

Then, we took the monorail to the Contemporary and did a little bit of shopping. 

It was time to go to the Polynesian. We had to get off the monorail at the TTC because Polynesian station is down while the resort undergoes construction. We walked to the lobby which was actually a little hard because the resort was so dark. 

Dinner was at Captain Cook’s. I got my pulled pork nachos and dad got the Thai coconut meatballs. Both are some of our favorites.

We were done for the night so we took a bus to Disney Springs and then walked back to our room. I was a little uncomfortable (my back hurt) so I updated my notes and went to bed.

Trip Report: A Late Lunch at Yak & Yeti (Day 3, Part 3 | November 2020)

 Then, it was time to eat at Yak and Yeti. We had done the quick service before, but never tried the table service. I got the honey chicken which I’d never had before, but I’m a fan. I also enjoyed the decor and our waitress was nice. I will eat here again, but don’t feel the need to right away.

We left the restaurant around 4:20 and the park was closing at 5:00 PM. The Flight of Passage wait time was posted at 10 minutes so we were off to Pandora. It was a complete walk on. We got off at 4:50 and decided to get in line for Na’Vi River Journey. We didn’t want to wait a long time for it, but a short wait as the park closed worked for us.

Disney World Transportation Overview

 There are so many transportation options at Disney World. So, I thought it would be good to go through all of them. These blog posts go along with videos I will be doing on my YouTube channel. 

Every two weeks I’ll go over a different transportation method. I will discuss both what is happening right now while we are dealing with Coronavirus and what happened before. Of course, I always recommend getting up-to-date information from the Walt Disney World website, Cast Members, or a third-party site like AllEars.net to confirm.

Up next, we’ll discuss Magical Express and actually getting to the Walt Disney World Resort.

Thanks for reading!

Trip Report: Drawing an Elephant (Day 3, Part 2 | November 2020)

If you missed the last update, you can read it here.

 We got on the train to Conservation Station and Rafiki’s Planet Watch. The next animation experience wasn’t until 1:45 which wasn’t for a little while, but I wanted to make sure we got to do it. So, we looked around a little bit. 

We got to draw Dumbo this time. My Dumbo was a little pudgy, but turned out pretty good. I’m not even a mediocre artist so that tells you how good the artists instructing you are.

Then, we headed back to Africa and went on the Gorilla trail. It was raining on and off so we didn’t know if the animals would be out and about. I thought it was a pretty good trip through the trail. Between this and our Safaris experience I think the rain might make the animals more active.

We got to see some baby naked mole rats. There was a hippo out of the water which I’m not sure I’ve ever seen. The baby gorilla was very active and just being adorable.

Before leaving Africa, I took some pictures. Harambe was pretty empty-probably because of the rain.

Then, we were off to Asia for a very late lunch. I walked around and took pictures since it wasn’t quite time for our reservation. Everest was done, but I don’t know why. I don’t spend a lot of time in Asia because I’m afraid of Everest. I have ridden it a couple times, but it’s a little too intense for me. But it is a very beautiful land.

Trip Report: Dinosaur & Dinosaurs & More Dinosaurs (Day 3, Part 1 | November 2020)

 If you missed the last update, you can read it here.

Day 3 was another Animal Kingdom day. It was also our last Animal Kingdom day of the trip. It was supposed to rain today so we were hoping that would lead to lower crowds.

Once we got to the park, we headed to Dinosaur. On our way we saw a character boat going by. The Dinosaur line was pretty short and we were able to ride three times. One of the Cast Members working the attraction liked the Hades shirt I was wearing.

The line was getting a little long so we looked at other wait times. Flight of Passage looked good so we headed to Pandora. The wait was about 20 minutes. After the pre-show we were told there was a “problem” so we had to go back out in line. We think someone threw up because a janitor showed up after a couple minutes. They got us back on a different group of bikes (or banshees). We did have to watch the preshow again. They split the group up into the two pre-show rooms and you watch the whole show at one time. That way you are still socially distanced.

Then, we were off to Africa to go on Kilimanjaro Safaris. There was a very active Cheetah which is amazing because they’re usually just lazy cats and are hard to see. We also got to see a baby zebra, but it wasn’t very small anymore.
