Looking back at our day spent at the Animal Kingdom, it all seems to be a blur. I'll share some of the highlights I can remember, but I'm sure I'm leaving something out. (Above is the Tree of Life & a cutout showing the carvings on the trunk.)
Sometime early in the morning both kids managed to crawl into our bed. They looked so tired I couldn't help but take a picture. Notice they both have their clothes on from the day before!
The Plan suggested we ride the Kilimanjaro Safaris first before the line got too long. We followed the suggestion and didn't have much of a wait at all. It was interesting, but our zoo is so nice that the kids weren't as excited as they might have been.
We tried to watch the 3D movie It's Tough to be a Bug, but the girls were frightened by the giant spider at the beginning, so I hurried out with them. I guess it got even worse, culminating in plastic spiders falling from the ceiling while the seats vibrated as if bugs were crawling on you. (Ick!)There were lots of carvings around the exit area where we waited.
There weren't many rides for the kids at this park either. Danielle really enjoyed the TriceraTop Spin. (I think we rode it 3 times.)
Tyler's favorite ride at this park was the Kali River Rapids, where Grandma graciously agreed to take one for the team and accompany him.
We ended the day with the parade. The kids had fun feeding the Ibis their popcorn while waiting for the parade route to reach us. Danielle still wasn't too sure about the characters.

I forced her to sit through Finding Nemo - the Musical, and we both enjoyed it.

Tyler's absolute least favorite ride of HIS LIFE was the Dinosaur ride. He insisted on riding it. I hadn't reviewed it ahead of time (it wasn't on The Plan) but was pretty sure he'd be scared. Ultimately we let him choose. He was so scared he was crying when he got off. Ron and I are still hesitant to mention the word "dinosaur" to him.
We also enjoyed the play area and The Boneyard - a gravely area where you could uncover dinosaur fossils.

Tyler rated this day somewhere between "the most horriblest day ever" and "the bestest day ever". I'll concur with that.
