We started off today, our 3rd day, in the Animal Kingdom park. We ran straight to the back of the park to get on the Kilamonjaro Safari ride, one of the most popular. It's a giant jeep that goes on a 'safari'. Here are a couple animals we saw...
The boys requested to see alligators. These were crocodiles, but they didn't seem to mind.
...a mother and her baby giraffe.
Mommy and Daddy needed a break so the grandparents watched the kids while we went and rode Disney's newest rollercoaster, Expedition Everest. I'm glad I rode it, but once was enough. Most of the ride is inside the mountain. You stop inside and then the ride switches to going backwards just as fast as forwards, then switches back again. I was dizzy the rest of the day. Brad loved it.
The boys getting tired of posing in front of things. The 'Tree of Life' in the center of the Animal Kingdom.
The grandparents gave Mommy and Daddy the rest of the day off. Here they are taking the tram to go back to the hotel for lunch and a nap. Daddy and I headed off to go back to Epcot.
At Epcot, the wind died down and it got warmer. Brad forgot to pack a t-shirt in the backpack for the day so he had to buy one. What an appropriate choice! He was very happy to find beer and wine venders right on the street. He polished off a couple while we walked through the countries around the lagoon. Epcot was followed by an attempt to go back to the Magic Kingdom to do 'big people rides'. However, it was so packed you could hardly walk down the streets. It turns out Disney was hosting the collegic and high school cheerleading and dance competition the next day. All the cheerleaders invaded the parks. We stood in line for Thunder Mountain Railroad for almost an hour and a half, the fast passes were all out, and decided to call it quits. We were stuck in the twisting lines with valley girls texting and shouting 'Oh my god, guess what?!' They all had their hair up in cheerleader ribbons, perky and bouncing around... too much for us. We opted for a quiet dinner for two. We checked in with the grandparents and they had tried the Hollywood Studios with the same result...cheerleader invasion. We gave up for the day.
