This isn't one of our favorite parks - we only go for a few things - Lion King show, ride Mt Everest and the playarea in DinoLand. We started our visit at the Lion King show, which is one of the best things to see. Jason actually got called to go up and represent our section as the elephants. We were really hoping Brody would be our representative, but it was pretty funny that they chose Jason. He gave a really great elephant call in the microphone - we were quite impressed and so was the guy (he wasn't so impressed with his first try which thankfully wasn't for everyone to hear).
We tried to visit the characters after the show, but the lines were very long so we headed to the safari. The last time we rode it, we didn't see too many animals, but this time it was much better and the boys loved it.
AK has a petting zoo area which you have to take Rafiki's train too. We had never done this before so we thought we would give it a try. The train was nice but the petting zoo was pretty sad - only a few pigs and lots of goats. Inside the "Discovery building", were all kinds of bones, small creatures (always my favorite lol), touch animals and even picture opportunities. I think my mom enjoyed this area the most being that she was a science teacher for a LONG time.
Trevor's favorite animal - Rhino
With Jiminy Cricket
Some strange animal that I can't remember the name of
We really wanted to ride Mt. Everest and thought we could get Brody on it but he wasn't feeling too excited to ride it so we didn't push it. Off we went to the Dino area for the one ride that they can ride and mostly for them to play in the play area. They absolutely love this area. Trevor was not a bit timid, he ran around everywhere and it took all we had to keep up with him. Thankfully all 3 of us were in there.
Before we left, one last stop to see a few friends.
We headed out to Epcot around 4:00. I'm amazed at how long we stayed at AK seeing that we didn't do that much. Well, on our way to Epcot, the boys took a little nap and thankfully they continued to sleep through the transport to the strollers. Boy am I thankful that they can sleep anywhere.
We immediately went to grab fast passes to Soarin' but we just missed it so if we wanted to ride we would have to wait almost an hour - needless to say we never rode it. However, we were able to grab the fast pass for Test Track which up to 6 people get in a convertible type car and it takes you through different conditions like bumpy roads, hairpin turns, breaks and then out in the open air to drive 60 mph around a track - what a rush!! Brody loves it.
We got a little crazy while shopping.
Checked out Turtle Talk with Crush and a little play time with a shark.
Of course no visit to Disney is complete without a meeting with the fabulous 5. Trevor was not scared AT ALL to go up and see the characters. He was so excited and loved it.
Back in our hotel room and here's how housekeeping left Mickey.
Brody loves to ride the big golf ball, which I think is a little boring so I did a little shopping while they all rode it. We were finally saying goodbye to the parks at around 9:15 that night. Whew, what a day/week. The boys were exhausted and definitely ready for bed and ready for the big surprise on Saturday morning.
