Animal Kingdom Day. I had never been here so I didn't really know what was good to go on or how to make a plan. My only plan consisted of going on the Safari ride first so thats what we did. It was awesome. We saw a ton of animals and the kids were so excited every time they saw something new.
This rhino came right up to the truck. It was awesome!
Surprised we saw a lion. They are usually sleeping during the day.
Us with Dug and Russell from UP. Addison loved it.
Triceratops Spin. Basically Dumbo with Dinos instead
The kids LOVED this little playground. It had a bunch of slides, climbers and these dino footprints that roared when you jumped on them. They spent a good 20 minutes jumping on these.
Rawr!
We saw "Nemo, the Musical" which was pretty good. I actually liked the songs and Cooper sat through the whole thing.
We ate lunch with Donald and friends in their Safari gear. We hadn't seen Daisy yet so Addison was extra excited to see her. Besides the characters this was by far my least favorite meal. First of all we had to wait 40 minutes after our reservation time to even get a table and then none of us even liked the food. We all ended up eating mac and cheese from the kids table. It was all African themed food and I tried about 7 different things but none of it was appealing to me. The kids loved the characters though so it was worth it to me that way.
Daisy kisses
PLEASE let me go to sleep!!
Safari ride again
Kali River Rapids. This was really fun and we got pretty wet. It felt really good considering it was 90 degrees outside. We spent lots of time in the shade with spray fans and ice cream cones.
They had this great splash pad area that Addison was dying to play in. Cooper would have loved it too had he not been asleep! She had a blast even though she was annoyed that she was wet for the rest of the day. Wonder what she thought would happen if she played in the water : )
On our way out. Cooper was still fast asleep.
We had a great time today and the only things we didn't get to do on our list was the Lion King show and the Bugs Life Show. I was actually really bummed about Bugs life but it was closed for renovations. We would have had to wait an hour to do Lion King so we decided to skip it since it was unbearably hot and we didn't want to reach the point of completely miserable before we finished. More swimming at the hotel tonight and then packing. I can't believe how fast this week has gone by! We have to check out of the hotel tomorrow before we spend the last day at Magic Kingdom and head back to my grandma's. None of us want to leave!
Cooper was finally awake when we did the kid's splash area. He loved the little slides. He did them about 50 times. He did not however like the giant bucket of water that fell right on him so after that he was done and wanted to go to the big pool.
We let the kids stay up super late to swim and we ended up eating dinner outside while watching Monsters, Inc. that they had on a giant inflatable screen by the pool. The kids thought that was cool. We really, really loved the hotel and the pool and food court and general atmosphere. I would definitely recommend it to anyone thinking of staying there.
