We love Animal Kingdom. It's on a much smaller scale than Magic Kingdom so it makes for a more relaxing day. We always hit the safari ride first. Rhinos, hippos. lions, giraffes, all sorts of hoof & antler type animals -- we love it. Gage and I rode it a few times so Adam and Savannah could race to Everest roller coaster.
The lines get longs later, but they rode it 8 times in a row! Gage is technically enough, but he would be terrified. Savannah figured out how to get in the front row -- ever time.This is the ride that they got stuck on -- at the top -- last year, and had to walk down 21 flights of stairs to get down when they shut the ride down while they were on it!!
We also spent some time in the dino dig area -- a big play area where they can dig for fossils, climb on dino bones, old jeeps, slide down huge slides, and jump on dino footprints that trigger giant roars.
We made sure to see the bug's life show. Gage is still scare of that too. He's such a scaredy-cat! He remembered that one of the bugs sprays you with acid (it's a mist of water, actually) and was all worried about that. He spent most of the 5 minute show hiding his head against me ;-)
ALthough we don't have any pictures, we also saw the Nemo and Lion King show. We didn't know that the Lion King show was being retired the very next day! It was REALLY good -- cannot believe they are ending it. It's all acrobatics, fire eaters, singing. Very colorful - very interactive with the audience. I am so glad that we had a chance to see it before it ended.
