Those of you who know both Renee and me are fully aware that one of us is a morning person and one a night person. Having said that, however, I must point out that while it may not be pretty, when I'm at Disney, I typically am up and at the parks for the rope drops. On race day, by unspoken agreement, we slept in and casually made our way to the Animal Kingdom. We knew we were going to have a long day, but we didn't want to miss at least half a day in the park.
Renee spotted Chip and Dale, and couldn't resist the chance to flirt and tease the poor chipmunks. "Chip," she whispered in his ear, "you're my favorite." "Dale, you're my favorite, shhh, don't tell Chip." Those poor chipmunks never had a chance.
Since there were no lines, we took the opportunity to hop on Dinosaur. I love this ride. No matter how many times I do it, I still scream even though I know exactly what's going to happen. On our way to Everest, Renee took the opportunity to hop a ride in the convertible.
I was pleasantly surprised by the short lines on this trip. We practically walked right onto Everest and then headed for the Kilimanjaro Safari and we hopped right on that too. We took a moment to pause at Camp Minnie Mickey for a few photo ops.
We had reservations for lunch at the Tusker House. The Tusker House is a buffet, a bit pricey, but the food is really awesome. Renee and I made a late lunch reservation since we knew we really wouldn't eat dinner before the race. The Tusker House has a show periodically outside with these drummers.
It was time to get out of the heat, take a little rest, and get ready for the race.

I HATED the dinosaur ride. I hid my face the entire way through it and walked off with a headache.
I remember those drummers outside of Tusker House.
