Disney's Animal Kingdom (a mix of a zoo and an amusement park) may actually be our favorite of the parks!
We ran into the park to start off with an intense animal safari--lucky for us, 9:00 am is still early enough for the animals to not be napping much yet.
The hippos were their usual lounging selves.
We decided not to pet the 10 foot long crocodiles.
Everyone loved the elephants!
Zebras are actually black, with white stripes.
Nathan, Camille, Madeline, and Brenda all rode the you-will-get-wet river ride. Can you tell who chose not to wear a poncho!
We snuck in a second run of the safari. The animals weren't as active this time, but we got to see a few more fun things like happy cousins,
a Sophia cuddling a stuffed tarantula,
an ostrich (that came up right to our truck), and some rhinos fighting over their afternoon snack!
The girls had a great time watching a musical and acrobatic production with a lion king theme.
Madeline and Brenda took Nathan and Camille on their first ever roller-coaster-with-a-backwards-and-in-the-dark-loop-di-loop. If it wasn't an hour wait, Brenda and Madeline would have gone again!
The roller coaster was in this mountain--Mt Everest (full with yetis)
At the heart of the park was a gorgeous tree covered with carvings of animals. We took some time to find some of the animals, but we definitely could have used some more. It was incredible.
Sophia and her spider "Webby" loved the tree.
As did Madeline and her new elephant.
Cousins enjoyed a musical production of Nemo--it was actually pretty good!
We finished off our day with a visit to the tree, dinner, and then another visit to the tree (after dark during a light show). . .
