Disney - Day 2

We started out our day, a little earlier than I would've liked, at Chef Mickey's. We went to bed SO late last night, that I could've slept MUCH later than 7:00 a.m. this morning! However, Chef Mickey's was a HUGE success! It was so much fun! Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Goofy and Pluto all came around and we got to have pics made with all of them. The kids were fired up the whole time. We left there and headed to Animal Kingdom for the day...or, so we thought...we went in and immediately went to "A Bugs Life" 3-D show. Some of us (adults) thought it was great! The kids, well, not so much. It was a big much for them, b/c spiders came down out of the ceiling and a scary grasshopper popped out of the wall, among other not-so-pleasant things. Sadie was pretty good. But, Sawyer was literally acting as though someone was stabbing him over and over again. He was S-C-R-E-A-M-I-N-G through almost the whole show. He climbed in my lap and was shaking and screaming and crying. I was hysterically laughing b/c I knew nothing was going to happen to him, and honestly, I couldn't help it! We left there and went to see The Lion King. It was a GREAT show! Lots of songs and dancing. Almost like a mini-Broadway show. The kids loved it. After that, we headed to DinoLand and we rode the Triceratops while Grammy and Captain went to get our Fast Passes for the Safari. Only, when we got off of the Triceratops, the bottom FELL OUT of the sky and it POURED! Like, full out, thunder, hard rain, for a long, long time. We called Grammy and Captain and we met them at the car. We headed back to the condo to rest, and dry out! After naps, we headed back to Animal Kingdom and we rode the Safari. It. Was. Awesome. We saw elephants, hippos, rhinos, zebras, giraffes, warthogs, cheetahs, and lions. We got to see them all up close. I was speechless. I've never seen anything like it before in my life! It was amazing! Afterwards, we went and walked through the Trail that had tons of animals to look at. We saw a hippo swimming under water in the fish tank. It was right on the other side of the glass. So cool! Then, we took the kids on "Dinosaur". It wasn't approved by Tour Guide Mike, b/c it was supposed to be scary, but we hadn't been able to ride hardly anything, so we went ahead and took the chance. It was a GREAT ride. Scary? Yes! Dark? Yes! Fun? YES! I was so proud of the kids for doing it and not completely freaking out. It was such a good indoor roller coaster! We took the kids and rode the Triceratops ride one more time. There were no lines for anything at this point, so that was nice. It is definitely a benefit to go to the parks and stay late! Nobody is there! We went and had dinner at Fuddruckers and then came back home. Another great day in the books! Can't wait til tomorrow!!!!!
