Disney World Vacation - Day 4 (Animal Kingdom)

On our fourth day of vacation we went to Animal Kingdom.  Although my husband and I had both been to Disney World multiple times before this was all of our first time at Animal Kingdom and we all loved it!  The park was simply beautiful and the rides and experiences there were a lot of fun.

We started our day with a Fast Pass for the Kilimanjaro Safari.  I was glad that we got a Fast Pass for this experience early on because even when we got there at 9:20am it already had a 45 minute regular wait time.  Our baby took a morning nap during the entire 25 minute ride but the rest of us all really enjoyed it!

Next, we strolled thru the forest paths and then went over to Asia to go on Mountain Everest.  Mountain Everest is a rollercoaster that has a lot of hype, but it definitely lived up to the expectations.  We loved it so much that the kids went on it FOUR times!  

After Expedition Everest we ate some lunch and then went to the Finding Nemo Musical.  It was a really nice break in our day to cool off and rest a bit.  Plus, it was a very well done musical and a lot of fun to watch!  We then walked around the Tree of Life and explored a bit while our little one napped in the stroller.

We then went over to Dino Land where we went on Dinosaur, the Primeval Whirl (this was the only ride that only our oldest child was tall enough for) and the TriceraTop Spin.  Honestly, Dino World seemed a bit misplaced in this park to us, but it was still a lot of fun.

This day we choose to have another early dinner at the park and ate at the Yak and Yeti Restaurant.  It was great food and a wonderful way to wind down our day.  We took a relaxing walk back thru the Discovery Island to see more animals as we were leaving the park.

 We ended the day with a fun movie night back at the hotel!  It is sometimes those simple moments that end up being the favorites of the trip.
