Disney World, day 2

Day two was a WILD day at Animal Kingdom. Our first ride was the Kilimanjaro Safari. It was like a real safari...we saw lots of African animals like giraffes, elephants, lions and rhinos. They made it look like the African grass lands even with upside down trees. After that we got fast passes for Everest and went to the Dinasour ride. It was just like Indiana Jones at Disneyland only based on the animated movie, Dinasour. Then we rode Expedition Everest. It was fantastic! Think Matterhorn only bigger, faster, scarrier Yetti, it goes forward and backwards and it has a 60 ft. drop. This was the biggest ride Jayden had ever been on, he loved it.

Here are some pics I took from the ride.

I love the way Disney designs their parks. The detail is so wonderful. This building was the bathrooms, but it looked like supply post for backpackers getting ready to climb the mountain. I tried to take in all the detail of the rides and buildings. I think I would love the job of the person who designs all the buildings and decorates them.

After Everest, we went to It's Tough to be a Bug. It was a 4D show inside the trunk of the big tree. This show was so great. Of course you wear 3D glasses and watch the Bug's Life characters teach people what it's like to be a bug. The audience gets sprayed w/ bug killer and you feel and smell it. You get stung in the back by a bee, that kinda hurts. All the women screamed when spiders dropped from the ceiling...I laughed so hard. Then when they were about to dismiss the crowd, it felt like cockroaches crawling across the floor and seats.

By that time is was getting very hot, so we went to Kali River Rapids. We got soaked! Then it was time to go to the Festival of the Lion King. It was a great show.

After Lion King, we realized we were in Camp Mickey...and the characters were all out. We got pictures w/ Donald and Minnie.

Did you know Donald was an Oregon Duck fan? Well...he is the mascot!

Go Ducks!

Minnie is so cute. She made Jayden give her a kiss on the nose. What a good sport.

We rode our favorite rides again and again. We made the mistake of riding Kali River again when it started getting dark. I was still wet when we went to dinner.

The big tree.

I love pictures with the characters...still soaked.

And the last ride before we left, Everest. I took a picture of the tv screen that displayed the photos taken on the drop. Notice Jayden is not holding on. Trinity was determined to get him to raise his hands in the air and each ride we got a bit braver.

And here is a picture I really liked. This building was so cute, I think it was a snack shop.

For dinner we went to Boma, in the Animal Kingdom Lodge. What an amazing hotel. The food was great and it was all you can eat African buffet. My favorite was the Fu Fu. It was some kinda sweet potato dish. Jayden and Trinity couldn't get enough of the prime rib.
