Disney Part 5-Animal Kingdom!

On our Disney trip, we spent one day at Animal Kingdom. It really is a cute park.

We met safari Donald!

 

And that day happened to be "talk like a whale day" so we got buttons!

 

We also met Pocahontas!

 

And we saw the tree!

 

That morning though before we went to Animal Kingdom, we rode the monorail and had breakfast at Chef Mickey's with some characters!

 

Goofy came around to our table.

 

Then Mickey came. 

 

Then they did a little dance party!

 

Gracie got another birthday card from these characters and another cupcake!  Lucky girl!

 

Mickey even came back to wish her "happy birthday."

 

 

Then Donald stopped by.

 

Then we got to see another one of Evie's favs....Minnie!

 

And last but not least, we met Pluto!

 

Then we rode the monorail back to catch the bus to Animal Kingdom!

 

First thing we did when we got there was go on a safari!

 

We saw some deer,

 

hippos,

 

gators,

 

cattle,

 

giraffes,

 

elephants,

 

flamingos,

 

more deer,

 

a lion,

zebras,

 



 

Then we went to Rafiki's Planet Watch.

 

We discovered that we could be wilderness kids for the day and earn patches throughout the park.  The kids each got a badge book and had to do things to earn different patches.  So cute and they loved it!

 

You had to check in with troop leaders and show them you earned your patch.

 

We had to learn how to take care of animals and what to feed them to earn some patches.

 

We met Rafiki too!

 

We went and pet some goats.

This girl decided right then and there that she wanted to be  a vet at Disney!

 

We saw the Lion King symbol in the sand.

 

And no day was ever complete without stopping at a Starbucks.  Each park has one!

 

The kids got cake pops.

 

Then we met Flik from "A Bug's Life."

 

We met Tarzan too and the ape.

 

At Animal Kingdom, each little area is like a different continent. 

 

We went underneath the tree to watch the 3D show of "A Bug's Life."

 

Then we made our way to Dino Land and rode the Dinosaur ride.

 

We dug for fossils to earn another patch.

 

Like I said earlier, me met Pocahontas!

 

We had fun playing around in this area too!

 

We rode the dinos.

 

We saw the Finding Nemo musical and it was super cute!

 

Then they had this huge play area for kids. 

 

But then the kids found all these carnival games and played so hard to win some stuffed animals.

 

 

This guy was the first to win.  He was so proud of himself.

 



Then Evie won too.

 



 

So then we had to play until everybody won.  And then they won some more!  Yes, all this came home with us too.

It was a great day at Animal Kingdom!
