Disney: Day 4

Wednesday was our day to head on over to Animal Kingdom! We got there nice and early and headed for the Safari!The boys were very excited about going in the trucks and seeing the animals up close!!!! Daniel was really looking forward to seeing some elephants and Chris was excited to see everything! :)
The animals were all out and fairly close to the vehicles....a bonus for going so early in the morning!


We then headed out to Rafiki's Planet Watch area where the kiddos got to pet goats, sheep and even a cow! I told Greg that I felt silly that our kids had to travel all the way to Florida to pet a cow when we live in Missouri and there are cows EVERYWHERE! But they loved it!
The kids were also able to meet several characters including Rafiki and Jiminy Cricket!

While walking around the park, we came across this band playing! They were fantastic!

Greg, the boys and I headed over to ride the Kali River Rapids while Grandma, Grandad and Kate went to watch the Flights of Wonder show! The boys LOVED the river rapids! We ended up soaked which felt wonderful since it was 91 outside that day!

To round out our day, we watched The Festival of the Lion King which has to be one of my favorite shows at Disney World! :) The music is fun (and I can sing along and it's so loud no one can hear me!) and the show is fast-paced and the kids are entertained! Wonderful show!!!!
We headed back to the resort a little early and Chris decided to test his strength by trying to lift the star by the bus drop-off point! :)
We ate dinner at the resort and the boys were able to enjoy some VERY yummy desserts!!!!! Daniel had a huge, colorful popsicle!
Chris had a Mickey shaped ice cream sandwich....yum!
We then headed to Downtown Disney and visited the Lego shop and the largest Disney store in existence I do believe! :) We also wandered around a bit and enjoyed the cooler temperatures and all the sights to see down there!

Up next: Day 5 at Epcot!
