This morning we headed to my second favorite park, the Animal Kingdom. It was amazing. Today was a cool, overcast day which is perfect for viewing wild animals.
Fam in front of the "Tree of Life"
We saw Nala, Siemba, Rajah, Sirkan, Pumpa and Timon, Dumbo... on the safari ride alone.
The animals were so active because of the weather. A four year old chimp swung all over her play area and the gorillas walked around to different viewing areas posing for the camera...like in Madagascar. I've never seen that before at a zoo. Usually the gorillas sit with their backs to people.
My favorite was the elephants taking a bath. They were so cute. There were two calves in the middle of the adults. Again, it's absolutely amazing to witness these animals up close and personal. Sorry for lack of pictures...baby brother has them.
Of course we road all the exciting rides too.
Now we may be all grown up, but we still need to take a nap between parks like when we were young. We couldn't even make it back to the resort.

Baby Sis and Me - In front of Epcot...where's the golf ball?
After our nap, we headed to my favorite park, Epcot! We arrived with just enough time to ride the Spaceship Earth (I did not participate. It makes me sick to think about it.) and Living with the Land before eating dinner at the Garden Grill. Character meals are thebomb.com and the all you can eat, family style meal at the Garden Grill cannot be beat. Yum!
Mickey and Me and some Mac & Cheese
What a happy family!

Well, for now this is the end of the Disney recap. Depending on an 18 year old to deliver your family vaca pictures is not recommended. I thought it would be so easy. What was I thinking? If I ever get those pics, I'll do an update.
We did have two more days of awesome, Disney magical fun. We went to the Magic Kingdom (video above) and Epcot again, one each day, and enjoyed every bit of it. Epcot was my favorite, of course, with its annual Food & Wine Festival. More yumminess. The only thing that would have made the entire trip better was sharing it all with Mike. Lucky for me though I flew from Orlando to Ft. Benning and My Ranger picked me up from the airport...with a little help from his dad. Best memory to end this trip.
