The kids didn't believe us when we told them we were packing up and not coming back to the resort. We somehow loaded everything up, got a quick-service breakfast to go, checked out, drove over to Animal Kingdom and arrived before the park officially opened. Our route through the park last time worked well, so we did it again, and headed straight back to the safari ride.
I thought we saw a lot of animals last time, but we saw even more this time, and some of them came very close, like this giraffe.
Ostrich on Amelia's side!
Seth asked for me to take this picture. Love it.
We rode the train to the conservation center, knowing that the petting zoo was closed, and were rewarded with a short line to meet Pocahontas!
We ate lunch at the Tusker House and were greeted at the door by Donald Duck:
Inside, we met Daisy, Goofy, and Mickey!
The rest of our day was almost identical to our last trip, minus visiting the character signature area. We didn't even go to any new shows, although this time the whole family rode the rapids ride, and we put our ponchos to use a second time! Amelia was just barely tall enough to ride it and had to sit in a special seat, but she liked it so much that we have promised her she can ride it two times next time.
We hit the road and ran into Friday-afternoon Orlando commuter traffic. We found a Mexican dive with awesome food in northern Florida and spent the night in southern Georgia, and slept like rocks in our room with the noisy AC.
It was a great trip, and I don't think any of us were really glad to get home.
