Day 3

We woke up bright and early Saturday morning with big plans to be at Animal Kingdom first thing. Well, the park actually opened at 7:00, and that's just a little too early...even for me. BUT, we were there before 8am! Those of you who read my posts about our last Disney trip may remember that I don't do well at Animal Kingdom. I just don't get it. I'm happy to say that things went a little better this trip. It's still my least favorite park, though.

We did the Safari first. It was a lot of fun, and we had very little wait. Both kids loved all of the animals.

Then we ran into our old friends, King Louie and Baloo. Mak was beyond thrilled. He LOVES these guys!
Then we found Dino Land! A first for me. I knew it was there, but had never ventured that far into the park before. Mak loved it, and we walked right on a Dumbo-like dinosaur ride.

Then we made a mistake. We took the kids to a 45 minute long musical. NOT their idea of Disney fun. These kids wanted rides. And I think everyone in the theater knew it. Mom and I really enjoyed the show, though.
Time for lunch before leaving the Park. We ate at Yak and Yeti, and it was really good.

We left the Animal Kingdom, got on the bus, and Baby CB promptly fell asleep on her Li-Li's shoulder. And stayed that way until we got to "fast cars" in the Magic Kingdom.
She was still a little sleepy
FAST CARS!!! One of Mak's FAVORITES! He was a little sad that he wasn't riding with Daddy, though.

See him driving?
She laughed and laughed!
Mom then took Mak for a potty break and CB and I ran into the talking trash can, I think Push is his name. See the guy in the orange shirt? He's the one that controls Push. Cool, huh? I always wondered how they made that work.
CB couldn't figure out why I had pushed her next to a trash can and was taking her picture.

Time to ride teacups! Li-Li sat this one out.

Then it was over to Toon Town for Barnstormer and splashing around in Donald's Boat.



The lines were getting pretty long, so we decided to head out of the park, ride the monorail, explore a few hotels, and check in for our dinner at Ohana. On the way out, Mak and CB did some hula-hooping. Check out my boy's moves!



I don't remember why she looks like this, but it's Funny!
Time for a delicious supper at Ohana. Mak loved the Elvis music (and so did Mom), and they had fun sweeping coconuts around the restaurant.
Our view from the table was of "our" longhouse from December! This is when Mak asked if we could sleep here again.



And back to the hotel! We stayed in the "Tramp" section. Another great day at Disney!
