Day 4: July 7
Animal Kingdom :)
We decided to go for an earlier breakfast this morning. We also brought it back to the room for a nice breakfast in with the family. Food in our pj's :) Eggs, sausage, biscuits and gravy, blueberry muffins and fruit salad...yummy!
Animal Kingdom today! AAA Diamond was filled so we were in Dino parking which wasn't very far from the entrance which made for some happy people :) First stop, DinoLand.
The kids were involved in a Passport Badge Program.
They got to do some fun activities for badges. Rode the flying dinosaurs and Greg with the older kids went on a "mouse type" roller coaster (too rough for my growing belly) After, we went to Dinosaur which was an extremely cool ride! Dino Dig was next. The only thing was, you did not dig in sand, but in birdseed. It actually kind of hurt to walk in it! The kids received their first badge here.
The older kids rode the mouse ride again while the youngers enjoyed some digging for dino bones!
Asia was our second stop. Here, we rode the rapids...
Our snacks in the area included Mouse shaped pretzels!
Mouse Shaped Ice Cream!
Don't you know that everything tastes better with mouse ears?!!!!
The kids used their gift cards on some specialty drinks. It was very hot so had to use a lot of sunscreen!
Africa was 3rd and very crowded when we first went in since the parade had just finished. We went to the safari ride. Very bumpy, but lovely! Saw zebras (black with white stripes due to noses color), giraffes, hippos, flamingos and some other cool animals :)
Headed back to "The Tree of Life" for A Bug's Life 3D. One of our faves!!
After this activity, we were finished with Animal Kingdom and headed to Downtown Disney to take another chance in finding a parking spot. Success!!! Very crowded and we aren't too much for crowds. We went into Ghiradeli for a chocolate sample which my sister Gina suggested. Very good :) Went to a Disney Sports store where Genin bought a Disney 2013 baseball for his collection.
Also went to World of Disney, the biggest Disney Store in the world! Kaplyn and I both bought "mouse ears" ornaments. I bought the original set for the Game Room TV/Movie Christmas Tree and she bought a pink princess set to begin an ornament collection :)
Kaplyn and Genin were very excited with their finds!
Onto Lego Land where the kids played a little with sets, posed for some lifesize Leg photos and we were finished with that crowd!
Back to the hotel for some dinner and swimming. Sandwiches for dinner along with chips and an awesome new dip, don't forget a pickle on the side ;) Afterward, I read some of my book while the kids swam....Matlyn loved it!!
Cherry Ice Bars for dessert and we were off to bed.
Day 5 coming...
