"Wild Animals"- Day 4

Our morning began at the Grand Floridian Resort and Spa for as Supercalifragilistic Breakfast at 1900 Park Fare. We loved these character meals where the kids could talk to and get autographs from all our beloved Disney characters. Mary Poppins, the friends from Pooh's Corner, Alice in Wonderland, and the Mad Hatter were the guests of honor at this breakfast.

The Mad Hatter is up to his tricks again!

We made our way to the Animal Kingdom for the day. Our first stop was to see the Yeti at Expedition Everest. Cole was not too excited to be going on this ride, especially after seeing all the pictures and folklore about the Yeti. It was a great ride, but you couldn't convince Cole of this. He kept his eyes closed the entire time and refused to ride it again. Mary Conlee loved it and we rode it with her several more times!

OH NO...the track is broken!

 
We conquered Mount Everest!

The Kali River Rapids were wild and we got soaked BIG TIME! We also enjoyed the Dinosaur ride. After braving all the rides, we visited the animals in the park, mainly the hippo. Mary Conlee could stare at the river horse for hours, but we just didn't have that kind of time!

 
We stood in awe of the hippo at Animal Kingdom. This is MC's favorite of all animals!

For dinner, we went to Downtown Disney for reservations at the the brand new T-Rex Restaurant. This was an awesome experience! Every 20 minutes or so, there was a meteor shower and the lights would dim. The dinosaurs began moving and growling...we felt as though we had gone back in time! After dinner, we had fun at the Lego Store and the World of Disney store. MC picked out all the the items she needed for her Halloween transformation into Snow White. And Cole came home with several Lego kits. We had a great night!
