The next morning Mickey called again and we were all up and ready to start our day! Well, everyone except this one.
No matter how much noise we all made she would not wake up. It was a good thing she was already dressed. We let her sleep until we were all ready then we just had to brush her teeth, fix her hair, and we were out the door. I had bought the girls each cheetah skirts for today. I even bought cheetah print ribbon for their hair. Here's my MAN putting ribbon in DD7s hair.
We had gotten our garden grocer delivery so we grabbed ourselves some breakfast, stopped by Classic Hall to fill our mugs and made our way to the bus stop. We usually would put sun block on at the bus stop (unless a bus came quickly) and eat on the bus.
Poor DD7 yet again we just missed rope drop. Hum, will she ever actually see the rope?
We picked up our stroller and made our way to the Safari.
The line for the Safari moved pretty fast. We were in line for about 10 minutes.
This is the girls in line for Safari:
I REALLY enjoyed the Safari. It was great we saw SO many animals. Way more than last year.
The highlight by far was that both lions were awake and up walking around on the rock. That was a real treat.
After getting off the Safari I really wanted to just get back in line and do it again but I refrained and kept on going.
Since there were still not many people in the parks we decided to go ahead and walk the Pangini Forest Trail while it was uncrowded. We didn't do this trail last year and really enjoyed it this year.
First DD7 wanted to take a picture in front of the turtle to show her teacher who likes turtles.
This is a neat picture.
As we were approaching the viewing area for the apes we saw the female walking away with a big bunch of hay. She never came back. The CM said she was building her nesting area.
Next we were off to It's a Bug's Life. Here's one of many places where research on the Dis helped out. We took the "secret path". Shhhhhh. Anyway, it was not hard to find at all. It is right there in the open but most people are not aware it cuts you through the park. I imagine they don't mark it because it would get much too crowded. It truely is a hidden gem. In the middle there are lovely parrots to observe. And this beautiful waterfall. Not to mention all the crowd you avoid. We took this path twice and only saw one other family on it.
