Animal Kingdom

We went to Animal Kingdom on Saturday. It was not our favorite park, but one we enjoyed. I think the horribly hot and humid weather with no breeze probably added to the less than enjoyable time at Animal Kingdom, plus it was Saturday and was definitely more busy than Epcot was the prior day. We stayed from 8-1. We took our lunch into the park and that worked really well. We decided to do it every day like that. Our favorite attractions at Animal Kingdom were the Kilimanjaro's Safari, Dinosaur, Expedition Everest, and Primeval Whirl. The Safari was awesome and Addyson LOVED it. Everyone but Addyson loved the Dinosaur ride. It took you back into time like Jurassic Park did and at one point a HUGE T-Rex jumped out at us. The picture from the ride was priceless. I had her head in my lap and her eyes were covered the whole time. She has no idea what the ride was even about. If we have any chance of getting her out of our bed at night, shielding her from that ride was a wise choice! The boys all rode Expedition Everest. It is one of the Roller Coasters that Animal Kingdom is famous for. We went there first since the line was small. I had a rule that anything that Addyson was big enough for she was riding. We made it to the front and her heart was beating out of her chest and she was bawling before we even got on the ride. I made a quick decision to not make her ride it and it turned out to be a good one. Todd and the boys LOVED it. Todd said it was way to intense for her and we are glad we opted out at the absolute last minute!! The boys and I rode Primeval Whirl and waited for an hour in line! They were not taking fast passes for that ride and we thought it was going to be awesome. We were so disappointed. Addyson was too short but would of loved it. The large playground at the park, the kids posed all on their own for these pictures. They are so funny!!

She tried so hard to do what the boys did!

Being silly one more time!

Then dad said NO more! We want a good picture!

We were waiting for "It's a Bugs Life" 3D and a really nice lady took a family picture. There were so many 3 D shows in all the parks. Some were really great. This one wold of scarred any little children. Thank goodness ours loved it!!

Carved from wood!! WOW

Look at the carvings in the tree. There were so many like this. They were really neat!

This is Expedition Everest!

Next up, Hollywood Studios! It was every one's favorite that was over 7 years old. Addyson loved Magic Kingdom the best!
