12/13
DH and I woke up at 6am to leave by 7:20am for AK. We had an 8:05am ADR at Tusker House/Donald's Safari Breakfast. We arrived at AK by 7:50am. We had to check in with a CM at the enterance, before they would let us in AK. We waited at Tusker House with little wait. The breakfast at Tusker House is wonderful...a million times better then CP. The character interaction was pretty good, though Goofy ditched us thoughout our entire trip (not sure why Goofy hates us so much).
After breakfast, we decided to walk to the front enterance of the park, so we could grab FPs for EE. DH followed the crowd, while I raced through Dinoland to EE. Of course, I was the only person who went through Dinoland and was the first person to grab FPs. I barely waited for DH and within 10 minutes we were able to ride EE. After riding EE, we decided to ride it again. After riding EE another time around, we decided to go through Dinoland and ride Dinosaur. We rode Dinosaur with no waits.
Afterwards, we grabbed FPs for EE again, and checked out Manjari Trek (I believe.) That's when we got stopped by the Dream Team and received our first dreams: Ultimate FPs!!! Hooray! DH and I didn't have to worry about grabbing FP's again. At this point, we decided to check out KS using our FPs, of course. From there, we went to Rafiki's Planet Watch. Afterwards, we decided to go watch ITTBAB, but we didn't need to use our FPs because it was only a 5 minute wait. From there, we decided to grab lunch at the Yak and Yeti Restaurant. We were seated immediately and we sat on the third floor, the window facing the enterance to the restaurant. The food was delicious and the service was quick. We had pot stickers, which were okay. And we also split an order of Chicken Lo Mein, I believe. After we ate, we used all of our FP's for EE, and from there we decided to head back to POP. At this point, it was around 1pm.
We decided to nap for a bit, and then we left by 4pm to head towards CR to eat at Concourse Steakhouse for our 5:30pm ADR. We checked out the Christmas decorations, and explored the new store in the CR. We checked into the restaurant at 5pm but they didn't seat us until 5:30pm. We saw a party of twelve trying to walk up to Chef Mickey's and being turned away because they didn't have an ADR. We had a wonderful CM was extremely attentive. The food was also excellent.
After we ate we decided to head towards Epcot. We arrive at Epcot around 7pm and from there we explored Norway and Mexico. From there, we checked out the American Pavillion, and watched Illuminations near Germany and China. From that view point, you can also watch Holiday Wishes as well. We stayed at Epcot until closing.
