Day Seven- My very first DIS meet!
Part One
So we're up to day 7. It was Thursday and we were going back to WDW after taking a two day break at US/IoA. If you'll remember the last night we had been in MK before the two day break Sken was a grump!! Well the break did him good because once we got back he was all about WDW and finding things to do. He actually downloaded the MDE app to look up things with me!
However this day also started a not so nice trend for us.. we suddenly became late to everything no matter how hard we tried to get there on time!!
So we were up and ready to head back to AK for an early ADR. It was a before park opening ADR, but with the influx of people trying to get there to make rope drop.. we ended up getting behind and being late. We got through the gate and ran to our ADR, only stopping to take this picture!
And another angle..
The emptiness is amazing and so calming!! I SO wish CP hadn't been ruined for us so I could have this picture except with the castle not the tree but I will take this as an alternative since it was the best I got.
And moving along....to Tusker House! We made it to our ADR pretty quickly after being let into the park, however we were 20 minutes after our scheduled time. I thought they would give me a hard time, but they did not. There was other people there trying to check in and some members of their party had gone to the restroom. The CM wouldn't let them check in until all members had arrived. They didn't like this and kept arguing however the CM nicely told them "oh well!" Well these people were infront of us and then moved aside so we could check in (late!) and while the CM was checking for our ADR their missing member came back and they tried to interrupt the CM to let them in first. RUDE!!
The CM was great though and handled it very well. She let us in and then helped rude lady. Rude lady was early too so I have no clue why she was trying so hard to get in?? ANYWAYS!!
We got up front and they took our dining photo. I wish they still had Donald out here!
We were let in right after that and headed right to the table. Sken had mentioned that he liked the orange juice at CP during our other breakfast, but that he didn't want as much of it this day. And then we sat down and he was poured a glass of the Jungle Juice. He was HOOKED!! He kept asking for more! Our waitress was awesome! I didn't write down any names because I suck at that, but we really liked her!
The characters were right there so we were waiting to take a picture before we got up, well the waitress comes over and whispers that they will be dancing and taking a break so we have plenty of time to go up and grab some food. She was right, so that was awesome! We would have been waiting for a while if we had waited!!
Soon the characters were coming around!
When Daisy came by Sken was up grabbing some food so he missed her. The attendant had rounded the corner to warn the other tables that she was coming, so we decided to take a selfie!
Last but certainly not least.. the big cheese himself!
When we were sitting eating, I looked over at the table next to us and locked eyes with someone that looked familiar! Turns out it was @francis6306 ! We both jumped up and said hi and hugged. We had been following each others PTRs and were both in the March 2015 FB group! We knew we'd be at AK at the same time, but ended up at breakfast at the same time since Sken and I were late! It was awesome meeting her! We took a picture, because you know what they say, picture or it didn't happen!
It was so nice meeting you Christen!
I forgot to mention this earlier.. We had a FP for the safari this morning after breakfast, however since we did it twice on our impromptu trip days earlier, we decided to switch it for Kali River Rapids. We decided to do that later in the day because we knew it would be hot and we would want to cool down.
So after our great breakfast, we decided to check the wait for EE. One the walk over, we stopped for a PP.
We then continued on to EE..
