Walt Disney World, Florida
This morning it was raining and we had a choice to make – stay in our little box, or visit the parks. Hmm, that’s not really a hard one… off to the parks! I love going to the parks, but I like them even more when there is a slight drizzle, because most people don’t want to spend money, or passes on what they perceive to be a gloomy rainy day. Therefore, NO CROWDS! Love it.
We did the usual rainy day park stuff, Bug’s Life, the Dinosaur ride, and Nemo the Musical. It was all great fun. Then it cleared up a bit and we rode the Expedition Everest coaster several times because there was no line. Yeah!
We were getting hungry so we were trying to find a sit down restaurant, and stumbled upon Tusker House in the Harambe, Africa area of the park. What a find this was! The food was a little different than what you’d expect, because they have an African flair, but the flavors were absolutely amazing! They offer a child’s buffet with food kids expect to find, so I sampled that too. Suzie was happy to finally find a place that had vegetables, and I was thrilled with the meat carving station. After sampling a little of everything, we shared some scrumptious desserts. I was surprised it wasn’t more crowded. I would recommend this restaurant to everyone – carnivore, vegetarian, picky eater, or connoisseur. Yummo! You might need to make a reservation if it isn’t a rainy day.
After a great meal we got on board the Wildlife Express Train to Conservation Station. I have never been much interested in this in the past, because I thought it was a petting zoo. Boy was I wrong. Conservation Station is a beautifully designed indoor learning center, where you can view demonstrations, learn about the animals and our planet, play entertaining games, watch scientists at work, and learn all kinds of cool things accidentally while you’re having a great time.We stayed for hours. We saw a demonstration with a screech owl and one on tarantulas. There were these sound booths where you sat in the dark and listened to the sounds of the jungle in crisp, clear stereo sound. It was truly amazing. The hair stood up on the back of my neck as a tiger prowled around behind us in the dark, and when it growled we both wanted to run out of there! Very cool and very realistic.
We had a pretty fun-filled morning and afternoon and felt a little rejuvenated in spirit, so we decided to leave the park and search for some internet connections somewhere to research our trailer problems and figure out how to do a blog. Disney does not offer free internet anywhere, so we plugged Panera Bread into the GPS and headed offsite.
Suzie was researching all the different blog options, and I was connected to the TrailManor Owner’s Forum trying to figure out what to do about brown ick. Both of us were successful. She found Google’s Blogger, and I found out about toilet gaskets. I also wrote down the address and phone number of a RV place that promised to carry most parts for most things.
Tomorrow actually is bringing fresh, new hope.
