We went to Animal Kingdom on the 6th day of our trip. It was COLD out! The low was 34 degrees and there was a wind of about 10 mph, so it felt like 24 degrees! We had no winter coats, so we piled on the layers of what we had. Ex: Alden wore 1 long sleeve undershirt, then a T-shirt, then a sweatshirt, then a fleece top layer (that we had to buy at Target that morning), mittens, & hat! We spent A LOT of money at Target on our trip just on buying things that we could have brought with us!
When we got to Animal Kingdom, it was right as the rope dropped! I know that you are all shocked because we weren't there early and waiting! Doug walked with the rope to Kilimanjaro Safari and got fast passes for all of us to ride it later. I took all 3 kids with me to Tricera-top-spin. (A ride a lot like Dumbo & Aladdin's Magic Carpets). It was SO cold in the air! We usually ride it over and over again, but on this day, one time was enough for all of us!
We walked over and the rode the safari ride and FROZE! We even took a blanket on the ride and huddled under it for warmth!
After the ride, we walked to Camp Mickey-Minnie and met some more characters. There were no lines because it was so cold out!
Thumper & His girlfriend "miss bunny" or "bixbi"
Doug sat on this bench for an hour while we met the characters. Clair was asleep and I didn't want to unbundle her, so we draped a blanket over the stroller and she was warm!
The Animal Kingdom Christmas tree was decorated with all kinds of cultural ornaments!
After seeing the characters, we left for the day. It was way to cold. We grabbed lunch at Chick-fil-a outside of the park and called Doug's uncle Tom for some advice because Alden was sicker. We went to Buffalo Wild Wings for supper and went to bed early!
