There is SO much to see at Disney I find the biggest challenge is choosing WHAT to see. Ask anyone and their opinion s differ widely! My kiddos have a thing for Animals so we thought this would be a hit.
Clearly the camera wasn't awake yet. We tried so hard to be quiet in our little kitchen area to not wake up the McCulloughs - But they were up and excited to see us off - they were do for a relaxing day at the pool
We got to the park 5 minutes before it opened (success!) as soon as we got in the kids couldn't stop looking at all the awesomeness and animals everywhere! Yeah! Great choice.
lots of exploring as we head to our first Fast pass ride
Lots of fishy fishy's
First ride was the Kilamjaro Safari - REAL safari Real animals REAL environments. One thing I LOVE about Disney is they really do it - all out. The level of care and detail they put into each animals habitat was truly amazing. Each turn of the Safari lead to a very different environment.
Safari animals??
Hey there Mr. Gorilla!
Rhino in action (as active as they get!)
Nice horns buddy!
Even if it was his backside, I had to catch a photo
A little photo posing in front of the tree of life - which isn't actually alive
Took this one ourselves, cant you tell??
We had a little time in between the Safari fast pass and Bugs life fast pass so we opted to wait for the Mickey and Minnie adventure -
While waiting in line, have to do a shout out to Kallen and Nolan for sharing their shoes with Shane - these are WAY better than winter boots buddy!
we honestly had no idea what we were waiting for - turns out it was a photo with Minnie and Mickey!! Sweet! This is my favorite
Than the offered to catch us all!
The kiddos weren't really big on meeting the characters which was just fine with us. More rides!!
Which, Bugs life - 4D - Meaning they squirt stuff at you - SCARY for Drew and Shane! Drew actually took his glasses off and hid behind the seats. At one point spiders descended from the ceiling - YIKES!
This one was more their speed. Although it took SEVERAL rides for Drew to trust us again.
He said no way to the Dino right (in hind sight, not a bad call - it was rather dark and kinda scary, with the fast pass, Chris and i were able to split up, and Chris was able to ride again taking up to 2 more passengers - at the end of the Dino ride Nick was the only one to volunteer - shane was NOT interested) Nick and I were also able to do to Expedition Everst which was WAY cool, goes backwards too - VERY well done Disney!
Around 3 the crowds were really there and it was hot - so we left and came back to the pool with our biddies!
Whoot!! Whoot!
Love swimming kiddos!
Wouldn't imagine that Vacation Mom really has coffee in those mugs - that would be silly
We went back for dinner reservations we had made at the Yak and Yeti - looking back, not terrible necessary. The food was just fine, but we would have been just fine at the condo too. The lines were still rather long and unless you had a fast pass it really wasn't worth it. Love the Fast Pass system BTW - Go Disney!
