Animal Kingdom

The day after Thanksgiving, we went with the family to Animal Kingdom. Debbie had passes that expired at the end of the month, so we all go to go for free.

We of course started the day riding the tram from the parking lot. Notice Macie's bow. She kept it in all day long! Before we went in to the park, Carson had to take a potty break. While we were waiting, a bunch of characters came out right beside us. Macie was not overly excited, but I think she would have jumped out of her stroller if it had been Minnie Mouse or "Lella".
Our first ride was the safari. It was awesome. We had a very fast moving line, and we saw a tone of animals. These giraffes were right by our jeep. They crossed the road in front of us and walked in front of our jeep for a few minutes. It was really cool.




This is in Dinoland. This is a ride like Dumbo. The kids liked it a lot.

I had to work really hard to get Macie to nap, but she finally crashed for about 30 or 45 minutes. She had napped in the car on the way to the park, so I guess she was good to go. Carson fell asleep on the way home, but she was awake the entire time.


We stopped and waited for the parade and enjoyed some ice cream.

Carson was taking a turn in the stroller while we waited for the parade. He was suppose to be resting. Macie did not want to share her spot so she joined him.


Carson did not like the parade at all. We were so close that the characters at the front came up and tried to say hello. He freaked out and spent the rest of the time hiding his face. He did peek at Mickey and Minne on their floats. Macie did not like it when the characters came right up to her, but she was excited about the ones on the float. She kept yelling Goofy, Mimmie, Donald.

After the parade, we went to the Finding Nemo show. It was what I waited for all day. Here is grandma with Macie, Cassie and Carson. Jake was off getting a fresh diaper.


We of course love every trip to Disney. Hopefully we will go back for another week long visit before Macie turns 3.
