Disney: Tuesday
Posted by: LizzieYou thought I’d given up! You are wrong!
Tuesday was the Animal Kingdom in our Disney adventure. Only this day, we decided just to sleep until we woke up instead of trying to be anywhere “on time.” We ended up getting to the Animal Kingdom park around 10:30-ish, which was about the same time as Tamara’s crew.
The sky looked pretty ominous, but we weren’t going to let it drive us away! When we entered the park, the boys got to meet Flick from “A Bugs Life” and the bears from “Brother Bear.” Chip & Dale were out front too but they had already gone to their next gig by the time we were done waiting in line for the bears.
First on the agenda for Animal Kingdom was to go on the safari ride before it started raining. The wait wasn’t too terribly long, and the ride was pretty cool. At one point, a white rhino came out of the bushes and walked in front of our car. Corey thought it was hilarioius.
Here are pictures from the safari:
After the safari, our groups separated so we could eat lunch. We went to DinoLand where we had the biggest cheeseburgers in the world and then we went to ride some rides. Simon was happy to finally get on a ride instead of being trapped in the stroller.
These are from the TriceratopSpin:
The ride was really loud, so Aiden kept his hands over his ears almost the whole time.
It started raining while we were in DinoLand and after we were done there, we met up with Tamara’s crew to go ride the Everest roller coaster, which Corey liked so much we went on it twice!
The highlight of the day was getting caught in a torrent of rain. We went inside the nature thing where we could look at snakes and the on-site vet clinic. There were a couple characters there, too.
Since it was pouring down rain, we decided to call it a day and go back to our rooms to get some dry clothes. Dinner plans were for Planet Hollywood. The thing was, it was sooo late by the time we got there that all our kids fell asleep at the dinner table. All SEVEN BOYS were passed out. Jamie and I were going to let Tamara take them all back to her room and go out by ourselves, but since there were only four adults to seven sleeping children, we decided to go out the next night instead.
