We awoke this morning to start our day that will be spent in Disney's Animal Kingdom Park! We had a delicious breakfast of bagels and muffins before we set out for a wild day. The Animal Kingdom rank's as our family's second favorite theme park here at Disney World because of the memories. It is another special day due to the fact that Dianna is tall enough to ride one of Disney's headliners - Expedition Everest. On this ride, you board a train that will take you on a jouney up Mount Everest and perhaps to a "chance" encounter with the legendary Yeti. Well, anyhoo . . . Dianna rode it with Barbie and at first did not like it. There is a section that you go backwards and apparently, she liked that but not the rest. Her chief complaint was that she felt bounced around too much, but at least she tried something new. After Everest, we rode Triceratops Spin (the Animal Kingdom's answer to Dumbo). The children always enjoy this ride. We ate lunch of sandwiches, egg rolls, fried rice, and orange chicken. Yummy! We then walked a little trail called the Maharajah Jungle Trek where we were able to see tigers, birds, and other exciting animals from the continent of Asia. News flash: Bengal tigers are HUGE!!! Next stop, Kilimanjaro Safaris, where you board a "raggedy" beat up truck that takes you on a "two week" safari where we got to see way more animals than we ever had. From elephants, to rhinos, to cheetahs, to giraffes, to hippos, to flamingos, to ostriches, and I am pretty sure I missed some animal. But really amazing stuff! We also took in shows of Festival of the Lion King and Finding Nemo: the musical (both musical versions of the popular Disney movies). After leaving the park, we went to visit our Disney "house" at the Animal Kingdom Lodge. We took in the Christmas decorations and rested at one of the animal viewing areas. after all that we headed back to our resort for some much needed rest and nourishment. What an exciting day! We will post again later with more exciting news from Walt Disney World! Love you all!

Ok you can keep your children. Good job. I new you had a reason. Love you all.
Whats a jump drive? Love you Dad and Mom..
Whaffle house. The steak house seasoning is great. We had with our avocado, egg, spam sandwiches tonight. Very yummy
We are glad you are enjoying your seasoning. A jump drive allows you to transfer files without using a disc, and it plugs into one of your computer's ports. Love you. Thank you for understanding.
