Animal Kingdom


The kids hopped out of bed at 4:30 a.m. Monday with no problem and were thrilled to board the airplane at 6:15. We were in sunny Florida by 10:30 and off to Animal Kingdom shortly after. We didn't have a lot of time at Animal Kingdom, but we were sure to take a safari, enter into a bug's life, and ride up Mt. Everest!  We left Animal Kingdom in order to make our dinner reservation at Chef Mickey where the kids met many characters and enjoyed a dessert buffet.  After dinner we took a ferry ride where we could see Cinderella's castle lit up in the night sky and then back to our resort for an evening swim.  Our vacation was off to a fun start!

5:00 a.m. and ready to roll!

Our family in front of the Tree of Life.
Fun in the sun.
Goofin around.
Russell meets Russell (from the movie Up).
Standing in front of Mt. Everest on our way to ride the roller coaster that zooms over, under, backward, and forward around this Mountain.  Maybe not the best choice for the kids 1st roller coaster, but they were troopers.  Russell came off of it shaking his head and Sloane was wiping away tears.  Thankfully they recovered and were willing to take in more rides the rest of the week.
Chef Mickey!
And Goofy too!
