Animal Kingdom Day
We were up early again for our 8:05 ADR at
We were actually a few minutes early and could take our time to walk over and take pictures by the tree


Can you believe we made it on time?
Tuskerhouse was tons of fun. The characters came by really quick and we were done by 8:40. They did the little dance around the room and that was very funny. Goofy was a great dancer.
We left at 8:40 and sat at bench type thing outside of Safari entrance. We put on our sunscreen. At 8:50 I ran in the bathroom that was there to check my sunscreen and when I came back out there was a huge crowd that had been let in and they were already going in Safari. Darn!
We only waited a couple minutes though. This was the first time we have ever done the safari first thing in the morning and it was great. We saw tons of animals and there was a giraffe and a few other animals right next to us. DD is obsessed with animals and loved every second of it.
Once we got off we say the baby gorilla
Next, we went to check out the tigers
They were hard to see since they were laying against the wall
We picked up a fastpass for EE
Here is DD with the leopard she had to buy when we got off the safari
We walked through the Chester and Hester area and of course Caitlin had to see that see was too short for Primeval Whirl. She was pretty mad of course so we moved on pretty quickly.
We headed back to ride EE. Caitlin loved it. It was the first time we have been to AK with EE. What a great addition. We skipped the rapids since the line was too long so we headed to Camp Minnie Mickey.
We waited to see Chip and Dale
We saw Miss Bunny so we headed over there
We asked how long it would be for Thumper to come out and they said about 20 minutes. I insisted we wait b/c Thumper is just so cute. He ended up coming out after only a few minutes
We walked be the area where they have Brer Fox and Bear but it was closed for 10 minutes. We decided we were ready to leave so we skipped it.
We noticed Pocahantas standing all by herself right outside the entrance
of the character area
We left around 2 to head to POR for some swimming.
As you can see we missed a lot. DH didn't want to see the Lion King
We all loved Animal Kingdom. The details are awesome and the scenery is so pretty
It was one of our favorite days. If it wasn't so hot we would have stayed all day.
Here is DD in the car with her misting fan. At one point she was laying across the sit with her fan spraying her face.
DD is normally a talker. She never, ever stops talking. Whenever we go somewhere in the car she talks the entire time. When I put her to bed and lay with her for a minute she asks me what I want to talk about. For some reason whenever we were in the car at Disney she was completely silent. I had to keep checking to see if she was even awake.
