September 13 We headed to Animal Kingdom this morning. There seemed to be quite a crowd at bag check but the once we were inside the park, it wasn't too crowded. Our first stop was the safari where we saw lots of animals, even the cheetahs and lions! About halfway through the ride, it started to rain. By the time we got off it was pouring. Lightning was also in the area so all of the outdoor attractions were closed. We went to meet Mickey and Minnie and then grabbed lunch at Restaurantosaurus. It was still raining when we finished eating so we decided to head back to the room for a nap.
We spent the evening at the Boardwalk and watched a few of the acts which we really enjoyed. We grabbed a pizza from the Pizza Window, did some laundry and then packed up since we were switching Resorts in the morning.
The Studios were really nice but I really wanted to check out the bungalows because a tour is our only hopes of ever setting foot in one (unless we win the lottery 
).
I want to stay there for a night though just to say I did lol. After dinner we met up with MrHub, Scrappy, JanJ, KenJ, Jmed and Joe ( an another couple but I can't remember their names 
) As we were waiting to board what we thought was a pontoon boat, we discovered that MrHub had tricked us all! We were boarding the Grand One! And Grand it is! 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a living room, kitchenette with stove, TV's everywhere! Talk about luxury. Once we boarded we cruised around Bay Lake for a bit then lined up right in front of Cinderella castle for Wishes. It was a blast! Thanks again MrHub and Scrappy! The view was great and no crowds! After Wishes, we were treated to a viewing of the Electrical water pagent.
After our drinks we headed back to our room. It was a bit of a trek as the parks were all closed so we had to take a bus to Downtown Disney then get a bus to Beach Club ( yes we really are too cheap to take a cab 
The food was amazing as usual and it seems now they've added a second dessert. Cupcakes! We ended up boxing up the cupcakes and eating them later because we were so full. All the characters were awesome and we saw them all twice. After dinner, we were too full to do much else so we went back to the room. Sadly, we had to start packing. The Tragical Express was picking us up at 8:05AM
( We got up and packed the last few things then headed down to get some breakfast. All too soon we were on the bus to the airport. Security wasn't too busy and we made it to our gate with lots of time to spare. The flight was ok. We weren't seated right beside each other ( both on the aisle seats). Once we landed we flew through customs, got our luggage and then took the shuttle back to the hotel to pick up the car.
