Today was much better. Each of us got the opportunity to go to Animal Kingdom for the first time. While I enjoyed much of the day (it was the hottest day of all and there is not a lot of shade and lots of hills), I am not sure we will come back here until the girls are bigger. There are a lot of great rides, but they are for the bigger kids/adults.
Maddie needed a nap and fell asleep on me during a train ride to another part of the park. We could not bring our stroller on the train so we had to carry her around. 90+ degrees + sweating, sleeping 2 year old was not a good combination. So Maddie and I found a shaded spot by a fan, and Bob and Ellie went on ahead to explore. I am glad that they did. A favorite movie shared by both of them is the Jungle Book. Ellie found Rafiki and was so excited to tell me about it when she returned.
After we got back to the main park, we had a fast pass for the safari ride. Which was actually pretty amazing. We got to see a lot of animals up close. Both the girls really enjoyed this ride.
This park has an early closing time, which we were grateful for. We had a 5:45 dinner at the Rainforest Cafe. We actually got done with the park about two hours before dinner, but I was not going to pass on Rainforest. So we happened upon the Lion King show, which was awesome. It was interactive and since we worked our fast passes out to where we had one, we were the first to be let in and got front row seats. After the show we went to Rainforest early and got in a bit earlier than our reservations. The food was so good. By far the best meal of the trip. I loved the lava ice cream dessert. After dinner the park was already closed, so we left and headed back to the hotel at a decent time.
When we returned, the girls were excited to see the maid services latest work (each night we got home, something special was done).
