Florida Part 4 - Animal Kingdom

Alisha says: On our last full day we went to Disney's Animal Kingdom. It ended up being a great day. We didn't really have an agenda, just take it easy and ride what we could. We went to two little shows and then left the park for a little bit to have lunch at Sanaa, an African Indian influenced place at the Animal Kingdom Lodge. It was the best meal of the trip. Skye feel asleep on the bus ride back to the park and slept through most of the line for the safari. After the safari we walked around looking at some more animals. Skye loved looking at the fish and got very excited and did some cute shrieking while watching them. Dave and I then did fast past/rider switch on a real roller coaster, Expedition Everest. It was pretty good and we both rode it twice in a short amount of time. After taking Skye on the Dinosaur Whirl (same as dumbo but dinosaurs) we let her run around in a big play area for kids. Once again she loved the little waterfall and also the big dinosaur dig (sand pit) area. She played there for a long time while we traded off watching her to ride Dinosaur (basically the Indiana Jones ride but with dinosaurs). Dave went first and then I went. I was 5th in line when they stopped letting people on because one of the jeeps was not working. She said it would be 15 minutes which turned into 25. Then they said it was fixed and were about to let us on but then it wasn't fixed so I waited a little longer before they shut the ride down. Bummer that I waited so long and didn't even get to go. Meanwhile Dave and Skye grabbed some dinner and then we booked it out of the park to make the next bus. 

It's Tough to be a Bug - Fun little 3D show with some extra special effects

Finding Nemo the Musical - Great production, Skye was a little wild through it but we made it.

Kilimanjaro Safaris - A long ride in a real jeep around to see some animals, the most popular ride in the park.

Expedition Everest - Fun roller coaster with a big drop.

Dinosaur Whirl - Dumbo ride but in dinosaurs.

Playplace/Sand Pit - Entertained Skye for a long time. Great place for kids to run around and play.

Dinosaur - Only Dave got to ride this because it broke down while I was in line.
