Started the day off with a good 5 1/2 mile run. The temp was great, but it is not completely flat like you think.
We got ready and headed to Animal Kingdom. We went straight to ride the Kilimanjaro Safari. We got on that quick so that was good. We saw lots of animals and up close at that. Some of them crossed the road as we were coming up. The girls loved seeing the animals.
After the Safari ride we walked the Exploration trail around Africa and then went to Asia and walked around the trail there. We got to see lots of animals on the trails and the girls loved that. Some were sleeping and some were up and about and walking around.
Once we were done with the trails it was time to hit some of the rides. Eric & Dad went over to ride Expedition Everest while we headed over to DinoLand. Of course Reagan was ready to ride the Tricertops spinning ride. Her & Mom sat in the front and controlled if the dinosaur went up & down while Bailey & I sat in the back and made it tilt back & forward. Eric and Dad actually got done with their ride quick and made it over to DinoLand as we got on the ride. After that Mom & I took the girls to the Dinosaur playground while Eric & Dad rode the dinosaur ride. The girls loved playing around in the Dinosaur playground. They had dinosaur foot prints on the floor and when you jumped on it, a dinosaur would roar. Bailey just loved that and giggled as she jumped around.
It was then time to eat a little lunch. We got some good bbq while the girls ate their uncrustables.
After lunch we headed down to meet Pooh, Eeyore and Tigger. Bailey loved meeting them and was so excited. She just looks at each character in "awe" after she has met them.
We then headed back over to Africa to take the train over to Rafiki's Planet Watch. The girls loved taking the train over there and getting to see a few animals along the way. Animal Kingdom has a Kids Discovery Club that kids can do through out the different countries and get stamps. Reagan loved doing that and got a few stamps. At Rafiki's Planet Watch they have a petting area with goats and other animals. Bailey went in the petting area with Mom & Dad while Reagan, Eric & I did the Discovery stuff and then went in the building to see Reagan pet a snake! Reagan actually touched a snake while she sat with Eric! We got to meet Jimny Cricket while we were there. All of us (well mainly Mom & me) were excited to meet him. It was then time to head back on the train to Africa.
We then headed over to see the It's a Bug's Life show. Well that was a mistake. It is a good show but not for Bailey and not too sure about Reagan. It's 3D so it scared the girls and pretty much made Bailey scared of any show after that. Even the Finding Nemo the Musical that we tried to see after that. Eric had to get up & leave with her when the musical started. The musical was great and Reagan loved it. She was swaying her arms back & forth enjoying the music. Eric & Bailey rode the Tricertops Spin, walked around and saw characters and animals.
The musical was over after the park had closed so it was time to head "home". We went back to the condo to get ready for a dinner out just the two of us! Eric had made reservations at Maggiano's at 8 as a surprise birthday treat. It was wonderful and nice to get out just the two of us.
