Disneyworld....Part III

On our fourth day in Orlando we went to Disney's Animal Kingdom. Both the boys and David were looking forward to this park the most for one reason: The Kilimanjaro Safari. It is amazing. We were able to see most all of the animals on this twenty minute excursion into the Savanna of Africa.

Its hard to spot the giraffes in this picture but there were many.

Elephants

All over we saw many types of African animals. Lions, cheetahs, hippos, rhinos, crocodiles to name a few. All out in the open (with a 20 ft moat around the lions and big animals that the public isn't supposed to see)

After the safari we walked through the African section of the park and saw lots of other animals and fish.

The gorillas and chimpanzees were my favorite. Here I am with my monkeys.

There is a chimp that David and Tate are looking at that turned two years old that day. She was so cute, she would stand up and beat on her chest and play around with her dad.

This guys was very popular that day. He was sitting like that the entire time we were watching him. Some thought he wasn't real but we saw him blink a few times, he was real. It's amazing how human like they are!

Along with "Finging Nemo: The Musical" the Lion King (above) was our favorite show. It was amazing, just like a broadway play.

(bad picture, they were moving so fast)

In front of the Tree of Life. Grant had had enough fun for one day and was tired.

Another show I loved was "It's Tough to be a Bug". David and I liked it but the boys were not crazy about the 4D effects. The show was from a bugs point of view and was trying to explain to humans that they do not care for the way we are always trying to get rid of them by spraying, swatting, fumigating, etc. When they would talk about these methods of abuse they would spray the audience with water calling it spray, fog the auditorium, and at one point the stink bug let out a gas smell and the whole auditorium stunk for about 30 seconds. At the end of the show they announced "all bugs leave the auditorium" and you could feel little movements in your seat that were supposed to be like the bugs exiting. My kids weren't fans of that but overall the show was great and David and I thoroughly enjoyed it!

Later that evening we at our resort restaurant "Whisperin' Canyon'. Whenever you ask for ketchup the waitress yells "WE NEED KETCHUP!!!" Everyone that has ketchup on their table brings you their bottle. This was just the beginning, we had 16 bottles on our table. The boys thought this was great fun and couldn't wait to be called to bring their ketchup to another table.

Also, every hour at Whisperin' Canyon they blow a whistle that tells the kids to put down their fork, grab a stick horse, and parade around the restaurant, there was no sitting still at this place!

Bad phone picture, but look how happy they were!
