Trip Report LIVE: April Showers bring Flower and Garden! (I Wanna Be Like You... )

... @Tuvalu , @Doc Disney , and @TrolleyFollower91 !

After reading all of your mother-daughter trip reports, I decided it was time to take one with my mom! We've traveled together before, but either with my kids, my best friend, my brother and his family or my aunt and uncle. This will be the first Disney trip with just the two of us. We both have annual passes and were discussing how nice it would be to see Flower and Garden someday. So, someday is coming up in April!

Where: All-Star Movies (need to save our pennies for more important things, like Nomad Lounge)

When: April 24-27

Who: me (Kristen) and mom (Celeste)

So far our plan is to hope for a FoP fastpass, drinks at Nomad and to have dinner at Boma one night. That's it! We're planning to wing it the rest of the trip! Pretty sure we're going to skip Hollywood Studios entirely, neither of us is a Star Wars fan and we don't do ToT or RnR.
Can't wait to get there! Any magic friends going to be there the same time??

It's a lazy day for us: after the Peoplemover we headed over to Splash Mtn (since it was closed earlier) and ended up waiting 45 mins. We got drenched! So then a stroll over to Philharmagic in hopes of drying as we walked, with a quick stop for popcorn. Attempted to ride Barnstormer (to fulfill my niece's request that we ride her favorite ride) but weren't feeling the 25min wait. So we hopped aboard the MPB! To Main Street we go!

Finished out Animal Kingdom with a safari ride, a Viva la Gaia dance party, the new Up! Bird show, a trip up Everest, then caught the last Festival of the Lion King show! We moseyed our way out and are relaxing in Victoria Falls Lounge at AKL while waiting for our Boma reservation.

MDE app says FOP and NRJ are both still closed
They were both closed all day, Pandora land itself was opened to wander later in the day but no rides. They compensated with a pop-up apology in MDE and we got multiple experience fast passes that are good today or tomorrow on any ride, in any park (only excludes Frozen Ever After and Rivers of Light).

We finished the night with Boma and had way too much food! The gluten free zebra domes are my downfall, I can't resist!

We Ubered back to Coronado, wandered the gift shop until it closed for pins and postcards, then made it back to our room to crash for tomorrow. No idea how much we walked today but my tired feet think it was plenty. Here's hoping that Pandora is open tomorrow!
