Thursday, May 29, 2008 Animal Kingdom, the Poly, and Jiko
I think I am getting older, because these early mornings are getting harder. We make it by about 9:30 a.m. and head to Dinoland. The little kids do Triceratops while I get fast passes for Kali. Ben and I do Primeval Whirl and Dinosaur. We love our lunch at Tusker House. The Table service version is even better than the counter service. A nice, interesting variety, fresh flavors and interesting combinations, but with plenty for unadventurous types. The bread pudding was really good. We do It’s tough to be a Bug. Zac is only a little scared. My mom did not get the full benefit in her handicapped section. FYI: If you are in a wheelchair or scooter and can transfer, do so for the shows. We watched Nemo, one of my favorite shows. Is it headed to Broadway? We finally did Kali for our first time. Last year it was down. We loved it!! We did it twice and my mom and niece both got the soaking spot on both rides. It was great, a new favorite for us all, but especially loved by the little ones. We headed back to the Poly for more rest and pool time. Unfortunately we waited and hour for the bus and did not have enough relaxation time. The kids were clearly exhausted and we wondered how much they would enjoy Jiko. Thank goodness the Simba club had openings. Ben turned his nose up at first, but quickly settled into video games.
Our dinner at Jiko was another gourmet treat. I ordered a taste of Africa appetizer and my Mom ordered a Kalamata flatbread pizza. We really enjoyed sharing this with a glass of wine. Frankly, at this point that was all we needed. We are all beginning to have “deluxe dining fatigue.“I had the braised rib which was wonderful. We tasted the desserts but not much more than a bit.
Of course none of the children wanted to leave the Simba Club.
