Hello, at 8.21am from Animal Kingdom, it's only 8.21am, but it's already been a heck of a morning because the alarm set for 5.30 this morning because early entry at Animal Kingdom was 7 o'clock, which means the first bus is going to come around 6 o'clock, and so 5.30 was about as late as I could set my alarm and still make it up to the bus stop.

And I did, I got up at 5.30 and walked out there, the bus ended up coming at 6.11, and the bus wasn't 100% capacity, but there were definitely some people standing, so there were definitely people willing to wake up and go out early.

I sometimes wonder if anyone's going to show up because it's so early, I'm like, who on their vacation's going to set their alarm for 5.30? I mean, there's obviously some of us, but a lot of times people will sit out with that intent, but then not show up, and so those of us who do get up will have an empty park.

It wasn't quite empty this morning, but not too bad.

So we got to Animal Kingdom, they held us at the top styles until a few minutes before 7, and then once you get in, then you have to scan for early entry.

So the scan for early entry was literally just a couple minutes before 7 o'clock, and then 7 o'clock is when the genie plus selections open up.

So you've got people walking to get mostly to Pandora and also have their phone open to book the genie plus selections at 7 o'clock, so it was a lot of things to coordinate.

And on top of that, when I did go to book them, the times were so wild. I booked Kilimanjaro Safari genie plus selection, and I bought a fight of passage.

Both of them said times between 8 and 9 a.m., but then once they were actually confirmed, they were this afternoon. I'm not going to be here this afternoon.

I only wanted to stay at Animal Kingdom this morning, and so now I can't use the things that I booked.

And if I had known, like when I'm going to click the button, if I had known, like, oh, that's going to be 3.30, I would not have chosen it. I would have tried to do something else.

But instead it said like 8.10 or 8.50, and they have to fix it.

Like if it says a certain time, you should be able to get that time. Otherwise, however, it's just to plan our days.

Anyway, so those bookings are not going to get years, but I did go on Navi River Journey, and then I was walking toward Exhibition Everest, but I wanted to check.

It officially reopened yesterday, but it actually soft opened on officially open Friday, but it's had some outages, and before I hiked all the way over to Exhibition Everest, I wanted to see if it was open, and it wasn't yet.

So I decided to go to Dinosaur. It's not my favorite ride. A lot of the kids, a lot of parents see that you can take little kids on it because the high repairman's not very high, and it's scared.

Like exiting that ride, the kids were upset because it scared them. And it also scares me, although I think they've modified it in the last year, maybe, where the T-Rex doesn't jump out as you work, isn't this loud or something.

Okay, so that was a walk on Triceratops Spin, because this point Exhibition Everest is still not open, so I just went on Triceratops Spin, and then Exhibition Everest was open.

So I walked over there, and the single rider line was available, so it went through that. It was a walk on. Nobody else was on that line, but the regular standby line was still only 10 minutes, so not bad at all.

But I think that it is not a bad idea to do it second, so I could do a lot of passes first, and then Exhibition Everest, or not a river journey, and then Exhibition Everest, it probably will work out decently well.

And now I am sitting here near the Dauphries, where I just got coffee and a muffin and drink some water, and trying to decide what to do next.

So now we're all caught up with you and working them. It is Easter, so, you know, happy Easter to those who celebrate. I don't know what will be next, but I'll be back later to let you know.
