Day 3
Tuesday, May 1
We gather in the concierge lounge at 6:30, where we meet our safari guides. Then we're loaded on the bus and take off for the Sunrise Safari. It pours during the safari, so we're given rain ponchos to wear to get to Tusker House. The buffet breakfast is excellent! Afterwards, the rain finally stops, so we decide to stay in the park for a while.
We walk through Pangani Forest so I can see the gorillas and then we go looking for the hidden path that we've read about. At last we've found it!
After a quick ride on Dinosaur and some shopping for souvenirs to take home to the kids, we're ready for a nap. As we leave the park, we run into the talking trash can.
And I find out who's behind the fun. This innocent looking young man in the denim shirt is really a ventriloquist and he is the voice for the talking trash can. The controls to move the trash can are in the large bag he carries.
We get our nap and then head for the Magic Kingdom. Tonight is E-Ride night! Unfortunately, my camera doesn't take good pictures at night, so I'm leaving it behind.
We're going to the Magic Kingdom early so we can have dinner at Tony's. It's our first time there and I really like my meal. There's still enough time before E-Ride to go on Winnie the Pooh twice and then once on Peter Pan. Then we meet up with Pixie and SWAN at Casey's. We run into John, Martha and Jackie and they join the group, too. E-Ride is always so much fun. I think we go on every ride that's open, there's plenty of time to do everything we want.
A quick bus ride and we're back at the AKL.
