The next morning, we slept in a little bit, and we went and picked up all our bags at Grandma's Kissimmee house where we had stayed the night before. We said our goodbyes to Grandma and Kyle, Jessica, and Taegan. By the time we got back to the hotel, it was almost time for lunch. We got showered, ate lunch, and finally made it over to Animal Kingdom, arriving around 2pm. We were worried that we wouldn't make it on any rides because everything would be so packed by then. It was pretty busy at first, but by about 4pm, the park was empty and we were walking onto every ride without any lines. Alex, Tessa, and Eric went on Expedition Everest something like 5 times. We walked onto the Kilamanjaro Safari, which is usually a busy one too. We also walked onto Kali River Rapids twice and people could stay on and do the ride multiple times in a row which we would have done if it wasn't for the fact that you get pretty wet. We also did Dinoland and the Finding Nemo show which we didn't do last time. It was really awesome!
All of the animal pictures below were taken while we went on Kilamanjaro Safari. I am told that the landscape is incredibly similar to the real African savannah. I haven't been to Africa, but I enjoyed taking pictures of this. The evening sun was shining on the savannah,(I love the way the sun makes things look in the evening) and while I didn't get a lot of good animal shots. I love the landscapes in the backgrounds and that awesome tree that supposedly stores water. That one is my favorite picture.

Jesikah, Jarem and I got a waffle cone and root beer float to share while we waited for the others on Mount Everest Expedition. Eric love, loved the Everest Expedition. I didn't go on that one this time. I love roller coasters, but this one goes backwards for a bit which made me sick feeling last time. Did I mention how beautiful the weather was? It was perfect all week with high's in the mid-80's.
We had dinner at Rain Forest Cafe at Animal Kingdom. The Animal Kingdom Rain Forest Cafe is SO much better and less busy than the one at Downtown Disney. We called an hour before and made a reservation for 8pm and then walked right in. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves during dinner.

It's so nice when you don't have to wait in long lines to ride the rides. I think you guys went the perfect week. Most of the west coast is having their spring break next week. Weather in the 80's? What's that? It's been so long I can't even remember.......
your pictures are so nice and the trip looks amazing. glad y'all had such wonderful weather! we had a couple pretty days and then rain and cold again. while you were away.
