Ok, so myself, Sal, Taylor, Lexi, and Domenico went back earlier than the others. Got changed, walked to OL Man Island, picked out our chairs, got towels, and we are ready. Lets hit the pool and cool off. It started off great, but then the waterslide came into play. The plan was for all of us to go up and come down, but somehow on the way up, SAL found his way some where else, we didnt think much of it at the time as we are at the resort pool area. So I go down first to catch taylor, and she swims very well, success. Now that I have her, just waiting for dad, and here he comes, sloshing all around and boom into the water. But he didnt pop up! I am watching him roll around like a manatee, i'm waiting for what seemed forever, then I finally grab him around the shoulders and drag him to side coughing up water. He lost his bearings and did not know which way was up. Thank God I was there, because there was no one coming to the rescue, life guards were not aware until we came to the side, at which point he was told not to get sick in the pool. Really? No help even to get him out of the pool. So he gets it together and gets out of the pool and sits down, but where the heck is SAL? Looking everywhere. Now the wife shows up, oh snap! The heat is on. Everyone looking for mister mischievous. Half an hour later, he comes out of no where saying he was playing a game by the pool, BS, I was there. Ok, we are all back together, I need a drink!

Now that everyone is back together and safe, lets get ready for dinner at TREX. Never been here before, and are excited to try it out. But I am on a quest to see the volcano blow, which was not working earlier in the day. There she blows! I have watched it transform on this site, but I have to see it, and wow was it cool.

This place is really cool looking, but so crowded and noisy. And the menu changed and was not so impressive, but I understand, this is a popular place, and it is where my kids picked and really wanted to go. But what a mistake this place was. Just adds on to the crazy day.

That sampler platter was the worst! Ribs were tough, steaks over cooked, at least the ones who got burgers were pleased. A real let down, and the reply form management was, "well you didnt pay for it, it's free DDP" How the f do they know i have that, and gave me nothing but attitude, even tried to keep my glass that I paid for. Never again. Horrible food, and for as service, extinct as the dinosaurs they show. Look at that grease in the scallop dish, uggghhhh!

On to Everest with no wait using FP+, now this is great, but I am missing the whole qeue, ringing the bell, tossing the coins, how much you miss when using Fast Pass. Ok, so lets be a little brave and keep the camera out the whole time, which I did, and got some great shots. I love the attraction! Such a thrill. No in-laws on this one, dad had enough of the thrills and decided to sit this one out, and it is Taylors first time, scared and excited, which made it fun for me. Bring on the YETI!

Lets eat! But first, a trip to the bathrooms, imagine that. Yak nYeti counter service, one of my favorites. We just got a bunch of different things and split it all up, except for the egg rolls where dad took mine plus his, darn you, not my egg roll! Oh well, guess i have to be quicker. Man was it hot out today, so couldnt eat that much anyway. Lets get done and walk over Kilamanjaro Safaris.

This was probably our best visit to the safari ever, many animals were out and close, we even saw the lions as they started to wake up, unfortunately we were driving away as they did. On with the animals.
