Caution! Wild Animals! - Day Four

After a few days at Disney Leah was feeling right at home. She slept in a little today but once awake she was up and ready to go. She was looking forward to our visit to Animal Kingdom.

We walked around and looked at the animals on the way to Dinosaur. Before heading to Disney the kids spent a lot of time watching videos about the rides at the park. One of the rides Leah and Louis couldn't stop talking about was Dinosaur. It did not disappoint. They loved it. Then we headed to Dinoland and took some pics (again) with Goofy and Pluto. Leah really liked the Primeval Whirl ride. There wasn't a very long line so she went on it a few times.


Next up was Expedition Everest, a ride I was happy to skip but Leah could not wait to get on.



We had a delicious lunch at the Tusker House. This was in one of Leah's favorite areas at Animal Kingdom. It's vibrant, full of music and dancing. There was a character buffet lunch with Donald Duck and friends. I think Leah's favorite part of this place was the dessert. Delicious, a good variety and all-you-can eat.


 We finally got to take photos with Mickey. His safari outfit was perfect.
 We spent the rest of the day walking around, went on the safari ride, watched the parade. The kids saw the Lion King show. Afterward we lucked out and there weren't any lines for the characters. Pocahontas talked the Leah and Louis about their pins and really personalized their visit with her. 


 Leah joked around with Donald Duck and asked him why everything was all about Mickey Mouse and why there weren't more Donald things at Disney. He acted frustrated and threw a fit about it. It was super cute and fun.



Chip and Dale were a lot of fun as well. Louis had a Chip pin but didn't have a Dale one and Dale acted upset. Then Louis gave him a hug and he was happy again.


 Animal Kingdom closes earlier than the other parks so we headed back to Old Key West resorts and enjoyed a visit to the pool. They had a DJ and games for the kids to play. The water slide was a favorite with all the kids. It was a great way to spend the night.
