Day 15
We woke up 9am, pottered around in the room for a bit getting dressed and headed to the club lounge for breakfast at 10.
We headed out to AK at 11, it was quite chilly today so we each took our hoodies, but of course Sy still wore his shorts hehe. It was really quite cold in the shade when the wind blew, I was almost sad I didn't wear a thicker hoodie.

First up we went to the new Harambe area and had a look around, it hadn't long opened and we fancied seeing what it was like.
We then went for a walk around the Pengale Trail to see some animals
can't beat a bit of animal spotting if you ask me!

I think he was showing us his best side....
Emma, Scott and Mason were in AK today as well and we had planned to meet up, we met them at Yak and Yeti counter service as it was now lunchtime. We hadn't long had breakfast so decided not to get anything, we just chatted while they ate.
I got a cuddle
We all had a Fastpass for the Lion King at 1pm so that's where we headed to right after. Mason decided he wanted to sit with me to watch most of the show <3<3<3<3 amazing!! I hated every second of course hahaha (I'm lying) he loved the show, though he was more interested in the giraffe on one of the floats than what was going on in the show hehe. He was dancing away to the music though, sooooo cute!
Everest was next, the boys went on first, they were supposed to get a child swap ticket but they forgot so Emma and I didn't ride (I'm not a huge fan of the backwards bit so this was fine by me but Emma was a bit bummed!).
Loving the photo guys
We went to ride Dinosaur next with our Fastpass but it was down
We could use the Fastpass on anything else so we went to Primeval Hurl (whirl) instead. Mason and I sat this one out haha. Though sadly for me he slept the whole time no cuddles for me! I toyed with pinching him and waking him up for cuddles but I thought that might be a little too mean.... 
The boys decided to be super cool and pose for a picture hahaha
Sy and I were feeling a little peckish by now and we knew right next to us was where we wanted to grab a snack... We wanted to try the new chicken waffle sandwich which we read about before our trip.
It sadly wasn't as good as we hoped, the chicken waffle from sleepy hollow (RiP) was still the winner. I didn't like the blue cheese sauce on it. The chicken and the waffle were good still but it was hot without much sweetness to it. I'd have it again though.

Mason was still napping so we went for a walk around the margaragi trek to see more animals.
With Mason awake we decided to go meet Baloo and King Louis. They were so awesome with him! He was a little bit in love with them too <3
Afterwards it was time for our final Fastpass, meet Mickey and Minnie. Another wonderful meet and greet. Mason was all about Mickey. Loving their Christmas outfits
It was now dinner time! Woohoo! Tonight we were eating in Yak and Yeti! Yummy.
It was fffffffreezing inside there. Burrrr. They sat us on a table for about 10 people so we were all sitting miles from each other, was very odd lol. The place was half empty so not sure why they decided to sit us there.
I decided to go for sweet and sour chicken (hold the veg), though Emma went for the tikka masala and I'm totally gonna go for that next time, I had some serious food envy!
Sy went for steak and shrimp, it was as good as he remembered.
Of course I had to save room for mango pie hehehe let's face it, I could skip an entree and just have dessert in this place hehehehe
We paid up and made our way out, the park had closed while we were in there so it was completely empty when we were walking out, it felt really weird to be in AK after dark! Better get used to that though with the new rivers of light. We stopped to get some pics on the way in front of the tree.

We said goodbye and headed back to AKL to drop off the car and get changed.
Emma and Scott picked us up at 8:20 to go over to BLT, we were heading up to TOTWL to watch the fireworks. We were surprised when we got there that there were no seats inside at all :-/ so we had to sit outside in the cold waiting for them to start. Gah! It was raining too but we were sheltered luckily. Mason was bundled up in a blanket to keep him warm but he was getting a little bit bored (can't blame him, I think we all were!), but luckily the fireworks started soon after and the rain even stopped for us, woohoo!

It was the Christmas party fireworks today, I was still a bit underwhelmed by them but the ending is pretty amazing. Mason loved watching them.

As soon as they finished we made our way inside to the lift, only to be met with a massive queue - of course everyone was leaving at the same time. I didn't think about there being a queue to leave, in all the times we've been here for the fireworks we've never left right after. Mason fell asleep in the queue but there were a few kids who could have done with going to sleep as well, they were seriously not happy lol.
Back at the hotel I did some washing as we were running out of underwear - oops! And then bed about midnight.[/URL][/URL][/URL][/URL][/URL][/URL]
