Day 4 - Animal Kingdom!

This is a day we missed a lot of the actual park. We started out with lunch at Sanaa (1 Table Service) which is at the Animal Kingdom Lodge. The food is traditional African food and it was delicious! If you ever get a chance to eat here - do it and order the Bread Service for an appetizer. Seriously, you won't regret it.

After lunch, we headed to the park. This was another uncomfortably hot and crowded day. Animal Kingdom has added so much stuff since our last visit and can be a harder park to navigate. It is a lot of up and down in the landscape with a lot of walking in between. 

We started with meeting Mickey and Minnie!! This is the only place you can meet them together and they are wearing they're safari outfits. SO CUTE!! Minnie gave us all kisses. 



We did It's a Bug's Life in the Tree which I'm pretty sure Alice did not approve of. We headed to Pandora after that. Half of our party rode the flying ride while the other half rode the river. We were on the river ride and I thought it was super neat!! The things The Mouse does with technology! I found it to be impressive. After this, Alice fell asleep so we stalled. I had a Henna tattoo done!



I also found THE PERFECT Disney trading pin for Alice.

Because, yes. 

Stay weird, my child. 

We eventually woke Alice up for a later-in-the-day safari. We got to see several animals and she thought that was neat!! 

We did a quick service meal (I recommend Yak & Yeti) and then headed to the Rivers of Light show. This is a newer show and while it was neat, it wasn't anywhere near as impressive as the Magic Kingdom show. I recommend doing this show before you see that show. 

This was the 4th day of our trip and we were tired and basically over the schedule and just wanted to make it through. Travis did get to ride Everest which is totally worth it if you don't have a kid in tow! It's an awesome roller coaster. 

The day started late and ended early and we missed a lot but we had a good day - and this park serves alcohol!! (The only park that doesn't is Magic Kingdom - unless you eat at a few restaurants that do serve wine.) 

We closed out our trip with Epcot!
