Animal Kingdom - Rides and More Fun










































































































After the Safari Breakfast, we grabbed fast passes for the Kilamanjaro Safari ride and then went to Dinoland USA, which is the kid's area of the park. We all rode TriceraTop Spin, which is like the Dumbo ride. Then, there was still no line, so ran around to the entrance of the ride and rode again. From the air, I spotted Pluto & Goofy signing autographs and posing for pictures not far away, so I told Doug & we grabbed the kids and ran to them. We hadn't met Pluto yet, so it was very exciting for Sam, Alden, & I. (I used to collect Pluto's everytime I went to Disney as a kid.) After getting picture with them, we went to the play area called the Bone yard and the kids had a lot of fun. Alden crawled all over the place and Samantha went down the slides and climbed on stuff. (One of the pictures above shows how she landed one time coming down the slide...doesn't she look like a future Gymnast! :)









We headed back to the Safari ride and got a fast pass on the way for myself for the new roller coaster -Expedition Everest. Samantha thought it was pretty cool to see the animals out on the ride. We saw a mommy giraffe and her baby and it was so neat because the baby was running after her. We also saw a baby elephant and his mom. We saw lots of birds and hippos and other animals too. When we were done with that ride, we took a train ride to the conservation station, which turned out not to be much fun for a 2 yr old and a 1 yr old. We rode the train back and walked to Expedition Everest so I could ride it. It was a good roller coaster, but it went backward in the dark, which meant Doug couldn't try it. Then Doug & Sam went to the 3D movie "It's tough to be a Bug" and Samantha giggled through the whole thing. I can't stand bugs, so I knew Alden & I would have a good time waiting outside for them. Next it was time for lunch. We ate at Pizzafari, which was packed. It took forever to get a table and then it took forever to get food. After lunch, we headed toward Camp Minnie and Mickey (a character meet and greet spot)..........
