For day two in the parks we picked Animal Kingdom. Luke was especially excited about all of the animals. Despite our late nights, we got an early start and were there when the park opened. (something we did not do much considering how late we were staying out)
We started with probably the coolest thing to do in the park, the safari. We got in these jeeps and basically drove through a zoo. Super cool! We saw all kinds of fun animals. I am happy to report that Luke FINALLY got to see a real live cheetah! A couple of them were just laying down toward the back of an area when we drove through, a nice surprise after being disappointed in not seeing them in Cincy.
We went to a really cute little Lion King show that was very well done -
The kids were allowed to get ONE thing each for the week. Paige fell in love with this Dumbo stuffed animal and throughout the day became more and more obsessed with it. We explained she was using her one gift, she was in love and insisted we get this for her. She named her Elli (as in Elli the Elephant - do not call her Dumbo please!) and surprisingly she did not ask for another thing the whole week even later in the week when Luke was shopping for his.
Parks were hot, lots of frozen goodies to keep us cool -
We did not do a lot of characters in the parks. Mom and Dad were not all about standing in line and the kids, thankfully, didn't mind. We ran into these guys so posed for some pics and got their autographs.
Lunch at the Tusker House with some of the characters.
Uh oh, this is becoming a trend. Don't let her fool you, come 10PM she is the Disney party girl -
Dinner at the resort, after a shower saw a really nice rainbow -
Outside and around our resort -
Every night our resort offered roasting marshmallows on the beach -
