Well i dont do this much, but as i sit here in the Animal Kingdom Lodge Kidani Village because it is yet again raining, story of this week, but anyway. Rain has been awesome this week, everyday except last saturday, and yesterday it didnt start until like seven.
Kidani village is awesome, not very much different from AKL, just for DVC members. Savannahs are nice, although i have not gotten to see much of the giraffes because of the rain i guess.
Crowds yesterday at Mk were pretty heavy, splash hit 80 minutes and big thunder hit 70. Kind of wish it would have rained yesterday earlier to scare people off, which has been the story of my week also. The rain has kept capacity down, except for those disney fans like me who make the best of it and stay in the parks, besides today because i was at AK, Safari and EE shut down because of lightning. Usually the last full day i have here i go to every park and ride the major attractions, cut short.
Back to the rain, its ridiculous, ive probably only seen one full day of sun this whole entire week. Its a constant rain cloud that seems to not go away, the rain does not stop either, it just keep going, steadliy, but heavy downpours at some times. But the positive as said before, people scatter our of the parks and its amazing to be at MK with really noone around at night. I felt as if i had the whole park to myself.
Some other tidbits
-Probably had the best safari of my life at AK, every animal was out in view, close to us, very active, maybe because of the cool weather?
-Crowds starting out at parks were pretty heavy, until rain hit, wait times then went down. Rode EE twice in a row, walk on basically. Same with the Safari
-Wishes was cancelled a night i was at MK, Fantasmic may have been also cancelled last night, not so sure, we didn't stay
-Toy story mania is still popular as ever, had a 100 min wait time, but fastpass prevails with me, cant get a score over 160,000 lol
-Disney florists and landscapers did a great job wit topiaries at the Flower and Garden Show. I loved all of them, took pictures in front of every one. Lion king is my fave.
-Being at AK and not having much to do really made me realize how much animal kingdom needs some more big rides. I was able to get into Ak at 10 and leave by 3 after doing Everest Twice, safari twice, Festival of the lion King, and dinosaur. Primeval Whirl shut down.
-Had my first experince at Star Wars weekend today. Not to bad, pretty cool ting disney does, even though i have never watched star wars.
-Also saw the new Disney UP characters, they are pretty sweet looking.
-Ate at whispering canyon for the first time last night and had the skillet(s), demolished two lol.
Pretty good food.
Can't really figure what else to say besides i never want to see rain ever again. It will be my luck, i leave here and go back to Ohio only to see more rain, and the temp here decides to change to 90 and sunny. Anyone coming over the next couple of days i hope you have an umbrella or buy ponchos!
Wish i could show you guys pictures, but i cant upload them, forgot my cord!
Cheers!
