They closed my first thread(MY 1st TRIP REPORT), so I will continue here

OK new day… today we tackle Animal Kingdom, we started off at breakfast at POP.
Some pics on the way

then got on the bus and arrived at animal kingdom around 8:45, this was early magic hours day so the park was opened already. We first hit EE for some fast passes, and why not hop right on.

After we had a blast on EE we headed over to a bugs life, which I always love, then the safari and today the giraffe’s were so close! I love when the animals are active, after the safari we headed to Rafiki’s planet watch, this was a first for me, and I love firsts! The train ride was nice and the petting zoo was cute, I was surprised to see Jiminey Cricket, that was definitely a first for me! Showed my niece what a cow looked like and then headed back.

Then we went and got some ice cream and then headed back to EE. We got in touch with Lisa and her family and they were at Pizza planet. We met up with them and headed over to camp Minnie and Mickey but waited for the down pour to stop. Got some pics there and then headed to Dinoland. We rode Primeval Whirl which was a blast, I laughed the whole time. We then headed to Kali Rapids, which was shorter than I remembered. We decided we had enough and headed back to the hotel to swim and wait for our chef Mickey reservations. Took the bus to Magic Kingdom then hopped on the monorail to the Contemporary. Chef Mickey’s was quick and easy, and we got the pics and autographs we wanted. After that we went back to the hotel and relaxed for the night.

The next morning was EPCOT day we had reservations at Le Cellier for lunch. I let the girls sleep in, then we headed to breakfast and the pool to relax. We headed over to Epcot around 12. When we got there we wanted to get fast passes for Test Track because we had never been on it. We then headed over for our reservations we had a little wait so DD started her kid cot mask. We were buzzed and enjoyed our lunch, my DN is a huge steak fan so she was so happy with her meal! I had a burger and my DD had a kids steak, I did get to try the Cheese soup, pretty good, and the maple crème Brule which was yummy. After lunch we walked towards the Living Seas and stopped at club cool, my DN refused to try the Beverly, but we had fun anyways. We made it to the living seas and road the clams…. Then we headed to Crush Talk, I never get sick of it! We then got fast passes for another ride I had never done. We walked around and did the Journey to Imagination, Honey I shrunk the Audience, and then we decided to try Kim Possible, we had seen this earlier in the day, but it was closed they were filming a commercial. We got our ticket and had to be in Italy at 3. So we were off to do some of the countries, starting with Mexico, DD did the kidcot station, next China, the girls got the umbrellas and had their names written in Chinese on them. Then we made it to Italy to get our Kimmunicator. First task, Japan. I was pleasantly surprised by this, actually I found it hard to let DD do the tasks because I was having so much fun! After we conquered that monster we headed to France to save the Eiffel Tower. I finally let DD do everything herself when we got to the UK, DN and I sat down on the corner and let her do all the task and check back with me while she was doing them! We would have done more, but we would have been backtracking. So we turned in the Kimmunicator and headed to Soarin’ , that was great, then Mission Space, Test Track which was a blast, Space ship earth was closed so we headed out. The girls got some dinner at the hotel and headed to the pool again to relax!

Tinker bell Flower garden was beautiful
