Trip number 11, how much does it cost to spend 2 weeks off site?! Day 2 - Animal Kingdom


Monday 8th – steps 16326

This morning we got up around 9ish but we took our time getting ready and got an early lunch at hotel in the quick serve place. They were massive and again I forgot to take pictures! We could easily have shared one so we learned a lesson there!

I had pre booked some fast passes at the Animal Kingdom so we headed over. We had a little time until our first fast pass so we watched It’s Tough to be a Bug! It’s a cute show, although I’m not a fan of the end!

We then headed to Dinoland as our first FP was for Dinosaur, but as we were still early we got ourselves some ice cream sundaes at Dino Bite snacks. These were much better than yesterday (although not soft serve ice cream)!





We then rode Dinosaur before speed walking to Flights of Wonder so that we could catch the next show. We found seats near the front rather unexpectedly, we’ve seen this show quite a few times now and our regular “guano Joe” had put on some weight since the last time we saw him!

Next up we had a FP for Expedition Everest which was a short walk away, we had a great ride as always!



I then wanted to watch Finding Nemo as it would provide an opportunity to cool down and I enjoy the movie  We got ourselves some bottled drinks and got in the line, a few minutes later and we were in!

We headed over towards the safari for our last FP and stopped in a few shops along the way. Rob had been looking at a hat for several trips and went in and tried it on again…this time he bought it!







Our safari was good as always, they seemed to be doing some work on part of the savannah. We did actually see a lion today, although I’m not sure that I got a good photo!

We went back to the hotel for a shower and change before we went to dinner at Sanaa. This is one of our favourite restaurants in Disney and we had made two reservations for our trip.

We started as always with the bread service which was fab as always but we were a little surprised when our main courses arrived whilst we were still working on the bread! 

Rob had ordered the butter chicken and the spicy lamb with basmati rice and I had the tandoori chicken. Both were lovely but we did feel a little rushed, also we had a table next to us where some parents were allowing their child to listen to loud music on a tablet (without headphones!) 

After our mains we ordered dessert; the trio for Rob and chocolate mousse for me. 





For some reason our server decided to bring the bill before we were ready, I wanted a coffee so it had to be adjusted. We get a DVC discount here so for our meal with tip we paid $97. 

We enjoyed our meal tonight, the food was as good as always but it was just a little rushed tonight.

Parking $17
2 x sandwiches at hotel $26.03
2 x ice cream sundae and bottled water $13.81
2 x drinks $6.37
Hat $47.88
