Animal Kingdom

On Thursday we went back to Animal Kingdom. The kids had their picture taken with Goofy and Pluto. We also had pictures taken with Tigger, Pooh, and Eeyore. The line is much shorter for Pooh and his friends at Animal Kingdom than at Magic Kingdom.

Wesley rode Dinosaur while Lydia and I rode TriceraTop Spin (aka Dumbo without the wait) three times. Wesley loved the Dinosaur ride. Here he is looking cool on this dinosaur statue.

We saw Finding Nemo - The Musical which is a must-do at Disney in my opinion. Dianna rode Everest with Chris (I rode it on Saturday with him). We had lunch and then saw Festival of the Lion King. I love the arobratic monkeys. We had pictures taken with Mickey.

We went to Animal Kingdom on Thursday because Touring Plans predicted a low crowd level. There was no wait for Kilimanjaro Safaris. We literally walked right on the ride. The bumpy ride put Lydia right to sleep. She continued sleeping in the stroller while Wayne, Dianna, Wesley and I did th Safari a second time.
Here are the wildebeest. And yes, I spelled it correctly.

As we walked along the Pangani Forest Exploration Trial we saw several gorillas. Even after a day and a half at Animal Kingdom, I still wanted more time there so we went back on Sunday morning before our flight home.

Chris took this cool picture of a spider and its web.

That night we had dinner at Chef Mickey's. The food really is good for an American Buffet but I liked the food better at Crystal Palace. After eating at Chef Mickey's for three years in a row I think we will skip it next year.
The kids really do enjoy seeing all the characters.

After dinner we went to the pool at our resort. Dianna went swimming with us and Wayne was our photographer. I will post a few of those photos later.
