I met up with Gina on Friday to celebrate her 22nd Birthday. We headed first to Animal Kingdom for lunch at the Rainforest Cafe. Gina looked regal with her Princess crown and Happy Birthday button! The weather was perfect! They had just opened another section of the restaurant so we had much of the room to ourselves and a couple other larger parties. The most noise came from the elephants and chimps in the trees over our heads. We were just hoping that no dust or other critters would fall into our food from the swaying branches!
We started with Chili Con Queso (Gina had to make that face because I'm always taking pictures!) She chose for her entree Pastalaya ( shrimp, sauteed chicken breast, bell peppers, onions and Andouille sausage tossed in a hot and spicy Cajun sauce and served over linguini.) I picked the Macadamia Crusted Tilapia and Coconut Shrimp.
We then headed over to Expedition Everest to ride the roller coaster. We figured we would give our lunch a little time to settle before riding the coaster. We decided to get in the single rider line. It only took us about ten minutes before we boarded. And we got to ride in the same train!
Then we headed over to Hollywood Studios to meet up with Adele. She was performing in the Little Mermaid show and we were meeting her for her hour break between two of the shows. First we went over to the Hollywood Hotel to pick up three fast passes. Then we met Adele and picked up some treats at the Villains in Vogue Shop at the Beverly Sunset. After enjoying our sweets, we headed up Sunset Boulevard to the Hollywood Hotel. We practically walked on with our passes. It's always a blast! As one girl was saying as we were getting off the ride:
"this never gets old!"
After bidding adieu to Adele, Gina and I headed back to her place. I had a piece of her birthday cake before I left. Pumpkin chocolate chip with a delicious cream cheese butter frosting. How can you go wrong?!!! It was another fun annual birthday celebration!
