You don't need an alarm clock if you have a toddler. Again, 7:15 on the dot the little one is awake. We try the Playhouse Disney channel, but he is ready to go. We get ready and decide to head right to the Animal Kingdom. We want to his MGM later to see the Playhouse Disney show, so we get an early start. We arrive and get a picture taken in front of the tree. Now, the only park we don't have is Epcot! We head to the first FOLK show. Again, we run into Chip and Dale posing together. DS runs right to them, we have to get him because he hasn't mastered the concept of waiting your turn yet! Our turn comes next and he goes right to Dale! It's funny how he knows the difference. Chip tries to get him to play, but DS only has eyes for Dale. It's very cute! We enjoy the awesome performance of the Lion King show. DS loves the elephant moving its head. He even tries to make the sound of the elephant!
Next, we grab some muffins and coffee and enjoy the atmosphere. We grab fastpasses for the safari and head to Asia to see the tigers. This is my DH absolute favorite part of Disney! I think this is how I convince him to keep coming! We spend A LOT of time here. We get some great video of the tigers playing. Our DS keeps saying "Puppy", we tell him that those aren't puppies! He stands up against the window and we get video of his back with the tiger walking right up to him. I'm sure the tiger was thinking, yumming snack! DS was thinking, puppy!
We head to the Safari ride now with fastpasses. It seems like they cut out the part where the lions are on the rock, but it looked like they were working on some areas too. We hit the Baby Care Center next. I have to say that the one at the Animal Kingdom is beautiful. Our DS went in there and didn't want to leave. He ran around looking at all of the pictures and colors. The CM, Elsa was wonderful. She played with him and gave him trading cards and even a special certificate! Finally, we convinced him to leave so we could grab lunch. We ate at Pizzafari. Excellent food! I had the hot Italian sandwich and it was delicious! We hit a few shops and then decided that we should head over to MGM. We arrive and check out the Baby Care Center there, the only one I hadn't seen yet. It is soooo small
I got spoiled by the spacious and colorful one at AK. We walk through the shops and just miss the showing of Playhouse Disney. The final one is at 4:45, so we have a bit of time. We head to Muppets and enjoy that as usual. We walk around a bit and then line up for the parade. Unfortunately, several people kept squeezing in front of us. By now, DS is sleeping in his stroller, so we leave the parade area and just get ready to line up for Playhouse Disney. We take turns in line so that we can let DS sleep in his stroller. We talk with many nice families also staying in line and also complaining about not letting strollers in line while we wait. DS wakes up and it's time for the show. He has a great time dancing and clapping his hands. Another Magical Memory Moment for us!
We're a bit tired and know DS won't make it for Fantasmic. We head out of the park and stop by the Pepper Market for a light dinner. We hit the room and I pack us up. Can't believe it's over already! We have a character meal in the morning before we drive to the west coast to continue our vacation with my husband's parents.
