If you like Indian style breads and flavorful dips, you really should go to Sanaa restaurant at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge; this “appetizer” really is enough for two to share for lunch – and as a bonus, you get a “safari” with animals outside the building in an area that provides fabulous views for the very expensive hotel rooms – but visitors get to view them for free:
A hot day, and a trip to Epcot to enjoy the Flower & Garden Festival and get some lunch; we ended up trying different snacks at stalls around World Showcase – it’s more and more like the Food & Wine event in the Fall, but with more flowers!
We spent New Years Eve, evening, at Disney Magic Kingdom for their New Year fireworks show; very impressive!
The park felt much less packed than our last New Year trip (2011) but parking was very full and massive queues to leave so perhaps the design improvements around the castle just make it seem less crowded.
After the fireworks we were able to walk on, no lines at all, on Ariel, Small World, Haunted Mansion and Pirates of the Caribbean. We has maybe 20 minute queue for Winnie the Pooh.
Here’s a video compilation from the evening:
