On Thursday we headed to Animal Kingdom. Brian and my brother-in-law headed straight for Expedition Everest to get all of our fast passes while we headed to the safari. It worked out great. They were able to get all of our passes and there ended up not be any line for the safari. It was great. We saw all kinds of animals and we actually had to stop for awhile because two rhinos stood in the path. We could actually touch them, although we were too scared to do so! They were leaning against the jeep just staring at us. It was really cool. Also, our family was the only ones on the jeep so that was pretty cool. We felt like we were getting our own personal tour. After that we had so breakfast snacks and then headed to Expedition Everest. I knew my parents wouldn't go on it and we had 4 kids that couldn't or wouldn't go on it. Brian, Bailey and I went on first and then my sister, brother-in-law and their oldest went on. It was awesome! It flies you backwards in the dark for what seems like forever. I couldn't believe Bailey liked it so much. Her and I went on it again later on in the day. We saw It's Tough to be a Bug, which was really cute. We also saw the musical for Finding Nemo and the Festival of the Lion King. Those were pretty neat, but I could skipped Finding Nemo. Then we headed to an awesome dinner at Boma's which was in the Animal Lodge. It had such great food. The hotel is beautiful and after dinner you can walk around and see the animals in the savanna. They have big rocking chairs around a huge fire and we just relaxed and took in the beautiful weather. Afterwards we headed back to our hotel (Port Orleans Riverside) and hung out at the restaurant and enjoyed the entertainment from Bob the piano player.
The next day we went to Magic Kingdom. My niece had a high fever so my brother-in-law stayed back with her in the morning while the rest of us (10) left for Magic Kingdom. When we walked in we saw Snow White and Dopey. Of course we had to stop for autographs and pictures. Then we headed to the Flight of Peter Pan and It's a Small World. Throughout the day we went on Space Mountain (which was Bailey's favorite ride), Splash Mountain (which was her 2nd favorite), Pirates of the Caribbean, the Haunted Mansion (which of course we got stuck on in the dark!), Hall of Presidents, Buzz Lightyear's Space Rangers Spin. I think that was it. We did a lot, considering we had 12 people. We also celebrated Bella's 4th birthday at Crystal Palace. It was so much fun. She received a card from Pooh and his friends and they announced her birthday and everyone sang Happy Birthday to her. It was great. We stayed there and watched the fireworks and the night time parade. Then we rode the monorail around and I think we got back to our rooms after midnight. We got a lot accomplished that day.
Well, I will have to blog about the rest of our trip later.
