An Indian Princess and Cake Pops (Wed a.m.)

An Indian Princess and Cake Pops (Wed a.m.)

Up early again on Wednesday morning, headed to Animal Kingdom.  We had made our 3 Fast Pass reservations for later in the day at Magic Kingdom, so our plan here was to arrive early, ride three (3) rides and leave in time to make our lunch reservation at the Beauty and Beast Castle at 12:45.  We arrived again by rope drop and the girls headed off to ride Expedition Everest as soon as the park officially opened, while Dennis and I stopped by Starbucks for breakfast “Creature Comforts”. The Mickey Ears Cinnamon roll was so good and of course, I had to have my Vanilla Bean Frappuccino, Yum. 

Now my turn to find my favorite princess: Pocahontas. My great grandmother was full blooded Indian, and supposedly Indian Princess so the story goes from my paternal grandmother’s side of the family. She married my great grandfather, Reuben Levi Daugherty.  Like I said before, when at Disney – never too old to find the pixie dust moments:

While we were standing in line, Dennis took his camera out of the bag to shoot a few practice photo’s in the jungle type environment we were walking through when he discovered that there was no SD card in the camera. Uh-oh, my bad!  Working on my blog, Tuesday night, I had loaded the SD card into my computer to download the pictures from the last couple of days and left it in the slot when I shut it down for the night.  Dennis walked to the nearest souvenir shop to buy one, quickly, $40! Ouch – there went the budget for the day.  Thankfully, we had been running under budget on prior days.

Kelsi and Lauryn were also riding Primeaval Whirl and then we were to meet up at 11:00 a.m. at Kali River Rapids in the Asia section.  Dennis and I were early so I sent a text to Kelsi to let her know we were there waiting on them, whenever they were finished riding.  About that time, they walked around the corner, so Kelsi and I hopped on the wet rafting ride, while Bop and Lauryn opted to stay dry.  The day was already proving to be hot with a strong summer sun overhead, so the idea of getting wet was appealing to me.  We both only got heavily sprinkled as we watched a guy on our raft and a small boy get drenched.

(monkeys surround us)

The girls had not had breakfast yet, so we stopped back by “Creature Comforts” (aka Starbucks), and they opted for a Frappuccino and Cake Pops… interesting choice (that is allowed when you are on vacation and with Nana and Bop, I suppose).  Time to exit now and onto the Magic Kingdom!
