Disney World Day 7 - Animal Kingdom

The last time I visited Disney World, Animal Kingdom didn't exist, so I wasn't sure what to expect, but I really enjoyed it.

 

 

 

 

 We went right to the Kilamanjaro Safari when we arrived, and that was such a cool experience. We saw aligators, zebras, and our truck actually had to stop for giraffes crossing the road. The girls enjoyed seeing all of the animals.

 

 

 

Next we watched The Festival of the Lion King. What a neat show. It included all of the songs from the Lion King. We had front row seats, and Tannah was selected to participate in two parts of the show. Harper could have been in it as well, but she was being shy. They both got a little nervous during "Be Prepared", but loved it other than that.

 



After the show, we rode the train to Rafiki's animal watch to meet Chip and Dale again and pet goats. I'm pretty sure this was the girls' favorite part of the day. They loved the goats so much and were thrilled to get to see Dale again. Poor Chip didn't get much love.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 



We went to see Finding Nemo the Musical, which was also great. I was really impressed by what a nice job they did with it.



We ate lunch, then rode the Triceratops Spin and took the girls to play in the Boneyard Dig. They loved this playground and would have stayed for the rest of the day if we had let them.

 

 

 

 

 

The girls met Goofy and Pluto, and we had lunch at Resterauntosaurus.

 





They fell asleep in the stroller, so I stood in the single rider line to ride Expedition Everest, which I really enjoyed.





 

 



 



We went back to our hotel for a few minutes, then went to Epcot to try to get Aladdin, Jasmine, and Snow White's autographs. We didn't have enough time for Aladdin and Jasmine, but we did meet Snow White before rushing off to dinner at Ohana at the Polynesian. Dinner was great, and we had a fantastic view of the fireworks at Magic Kingdom.

 

 

 



Epcot had Extra Magic Hours from 9-11, so after dinner we rode the Monorail to Epcot to ride Spaceship Earth. I met up with my friends for a little while while Wei-Yand and the girls rode Spaceship Earth four more times! The girls loved when their pictures showed up on the screen at the end.

The girls were asleep when we met up on the bridge back to our hotel. It was a fantastic last day in the parks!
