We started our day at Animal Kingdom in front of the Tree of Life. It was so pretty and big! While we were taking pictures, Joe ran across the park to get fast passes.
We were heading to see the Lion King show and Elle said, "Pocahontas." And I told her that we would look at the dolls later, after the show. She said her name again and I looked to my left and there she was! No one was around her and she was just waiting to say hello. It was our first character to see that day!
Meeting Minnie was a wonderful time. She was so nice! We didn't see Nemo, the character, but we did have a chance to see all the cute stuffed animals after we attended the Nemo Live Show
On our way to see the Lion King, I noticed that all of the Mickey characters were out in safari gear! We raced over there to see as many as we could. I remember Goofy and Donald being so funny and we were so excited to see them and get their autographs.
Animal Kingdom was full of greenery and exciting shows. The first show we saw was Lion King. It was fantastic. They had the audience really involved and the acrobats were amazing.
One of our favorite "moments" on the entire trip happened on the Kali River Rapids. We followed Mimi and Poppy in their scooters down the handicap line. We boarded the raft and didn't know what to expect. It was a very thrilling ride and we all got wet. We had so much fun that when the ride was over, we all screamed, we want to go again!! Well, they LET us! This time around, we thought we knew when we would get wet. At one dip, the water came over the raft so high that it drenched Elle and Papa Joe. Elle's face, her little smile was priceless. We all busted out laughing and then her face lit up -- like she really understood and was living "Disney magic."
While walking around the park we got the chance to play some African drums. It was a nice break!
