Park Day #1–Animal Kingdom

 

DSCF5316Well…we were up at 6:30am, had a cup of coffee and a quick breakfast and then off we went to catch the Disney bus to Animal Kingdom…I think we were first in line.

 

DSCF5317Then we got to the park just a shade before 8am and we headed straight to the Safari (along with everyone else), but we didn’t have to wait long in the line up, maybe only about 3 minutes.

_1143854We saw some wonderful animals and even with the fog, we got some great pictures.  It was cool that a lot of the animals we get to see at our own resort.  How great is being able to see African animals whenever you look out your balcony.  We don’t see elephants, so that was cool to see.

_1143940After the safari, we headed to Asia and I did the Everest Expedition…nobody else would go on it with me.  Thankfully our big camera can take good telephoto pics and you can even see me on the ride.

DSCF5325Of course you have to get a photo with the mountain in the background.  I think this might be one of my fav ones so far.  We are quite a stunning couple if you ask me. 

_1144019We did a bunch of things in Asia which included looking at a bunch more animals.  We saw a bird show that had birds flying around us…we got to see a bald eagle up close.  Granted we see bald eagles all the time, but generally not this close.

DSCF5376We had lunch at an African restaurant (pulled beef) and then off we went to check out more of the park.  We went to DinoLand USA to check out a ride and maybe find a souvenir for the person who is taking care of Minnie.  Even dad went on the Dinosaur ride with Doug and I

DSCF5370We also went to see the live musical of Finding Nemo…I got some great pictures, which I will post at a later date because there are so many good ones.  I will try to pick the best one for here…

DSCF5387We ended the day with watching a parade…we found a good spot around 2:15 and sat there until 3:45…we needed a rest anyway because we all hurt.  It is not normal to walk this much.

DSCF5398We enjoyed the parade and then went back to our cabin (ok…not cabin YET, but our resort room LOL).   Once we got home I quickly made dinner…mashed potatoes, burgers, peas, carrots and fried onions…yup we eat well here.  Can’t wait to go on vacation (when we can afford it again) and not have to cook all the time.  I can’t complain though…this beats NO VACATION.

Tomorrow is Epcot…bigger park…eek!!! My feet hurt thinking about it LOL
