Another early start as we had a number of Fast Pass rides booked. So we left just after 8.30 for the nearest park to the villa - Animal Kingdom.
First up was the safari a real family favourite although most of the animals were doing what I could have done with - having a lie in.
Next was the Kali River Rapids. I'm not ashamed to admit it but Mrs J and I both 'rocked' our ponchos. For those of you who don't know, this ride basically comes down to luck. There are 8 of you in a round boat in pairs of two. Whichever pair is at the back when the boat goes over the edge gets drenched whilst the rest get wet. Miss B and I were at the back - I emerged virtually completely dry. The same couldn't be said for Miss B :)
Mrs J had promised to ride Expedition Everest but when push came to shove the call of a cold Margerita won hands down.
The ride is just as fan as we remember it and would be very high on my favourite top 5 rides of pur holiday.
I discussed my top 5 today but it needs some thought and refinement. Maybe a topic for a future post.
After Everest it was time for Miss B and Miss H to get there tattoos. Don't panic everyone they are only henna ones...
Next up was lunch at the Rainforest Cafe. The food was fab but like the Hard Rock Cafe the other day our table location was really bad. For the worlds largest Rainforest that holds 800 diners we had the furthest table from the animals. We were by the bar and gift shop sitting by the Elephant where they call you for your safari.
After lunch we checked out Dinosaur land before leaving the park for the day.
It was time for our Mini Golf challenge and this year's course was Congo River on the 192.
The champion this year is Mrs J who played a flawless round including two holes in one. One of these was whilst paying a forfeit of playing with her eyes shut. Well deserved Mrs J. Miss B and I had a decent battle for second which I edged and Miss H... Suffice to say she's no Tiger Woods. When we got back to the car the external temperature was showing as 107.
So I'm sitting here typing this with my feet in the pool whilst the sun sets with a cold beer.
Where will tomorrow take us? You know the drill...
