Ok, i'm uploaded about half of our pics from this day, so i'll start!!
We slept in a little bit this morning because if you remember the morning before we were all up at 3:00am waiting for the Limo!!! We were so tired!! I didn't really sleep too late, I was up by 8 and laying everyone's clothes out, I was so excited for this day. Who am I kidding, I was excited for everyday
So once everyone was up and dressed we went down to the foodcourt and filled up our mugs and every morning we would use snack credits for things like toasted bagels with cream cheese, muffins , danish etc... The kids loved it. And everything was so big, just a snack credit was a big enough breakfast!!
We went out to the bus stop and we were off to Animal Kingdom, I knew the kids were gonna love this park.

Ok, so we got off the bus and hit the gift shop that was right outside of the park, we didn't even get in the park yet
And.....It was all Manny!!! Sam bought a pair of Minnie Mouse ears , Anthony bought these funky sunglassed which he collected in many colors over the course of the week, you will see plenty of them in this trip report, he's too funny. And Emily did her first pin trade, she was so excited. She traded a Mickey Pin for a Dale pin. She thought the pin trading was great
Here's the crew, ready to take on AK with Minnie ears and funky sunglasses!
Oh, as soon as we walked into the park we were amazed at everything! It was all so pretty. And it was Hot this day and I heard that AK always felt hotter, but to us it felt cooler, there was always a breeze and almost everywhere was shaded.
This is the first awesome guy we came across, it's a giant anteater
Our first sight of the Tree!!!
And then we had our first character sighting of the trip. Me and the girls were off the wall excited!!!!
Oh, my god, Lilo and Stitch were so funny!!! I have a video clip of Stitch throwing Emily's book on the ground, then Lilo grabbed the other book from him so he wouldn't throw that one, then he wouldn't give back the pen. The kids got quite a kick out of him. Oh and then he was pointing to Anthony's glasses "asking" what the point of them was!
Next we ran up to the Safari because this was supposed to be our Dismeet. A few were there but they were already hot and pooped. It was our first full day in Disney so we were rearing to go. So we said hello and goodbye and grabbed us some Safari fastpasses.
We then headed back to camp Minnie Mickey, the girls were really waiting for some more character autographs.
On the way there we stopped and let Emily buy Chip and Dale, they are her new favorites.
Then we got in line to meet chip and dale
My god, Anthony is getting so big.
Ok, so while in line there was a man walking around playing the guitar. He stopped at us and asked Emily what her name was. He then asked if we wanted to hear a song. So I put my camera on video cause I just knew something good was coming. And I was right. He sung a song about Emily on her famous Disney World Trip with her Family and how she had Chip and Dale and sunglasses on her head. It was the most memorable experience from our trip. I have tears in my eyes just thinking about it. I constantly have that song that he sung for Emily in my head. It was so wonderful. I'm going to try to upload it, not sure how long it will take. But maybe i'll get it up here tonight, it's definitely GREAT!!!
After Chip and Dale we just went from line to line and saw our other friends.
Ok, another wonderful story here at Minnie Mouse. The CM you see pictured here with Manny was so awesome. Her name was Judith. She was in the line when we were visiting Goofy and she was asking the girls why Daddy wasn't going near the characters. She said " I think he's scared" So she followed us to Minnie and after the girls took their pic
and got her autograph she went up and told Minnie about Manny. Soooo Minnie went after him and she kept going back after him and kissing him. Someone in line was saying that he was going to tell Mickey! We were cracking up, it was so much fun.
And then when Anthony was starting to walk away she shook her finger at him, like "oh no you don't" and went to kiss him.
Let me continue in another post....
Love all the pics.
and say Yes to Everest and it was Anthony and/or Emily who wanted to go?
