Day 2 at Disney! Today, we went to the Animal Kingdom, it was fantastic.  NO CROWDS! We couldn't believe it - we walked right up to most of the rides and the longest wait was probably 10 min.  We had a good plan of action - we straight for the safari (20 min jeep ride) and saw Giraffes, Rhinos, Ostrichs, Elephants, Hippos, and several I don't remember.  This was Dylan's favorite part of the day.

We then went to see the Lion King Musical, and then for Brooke's favorite part - the Triceratops ride.  SHE LOVED IT.  I'm sure we will be riding the flying Dumbo several times tomorrow.  Afterwards, our favorite part - a Finding Nemo Musical, that was incredible. At the end, bubbles came down everywhere and the kids went crazy.

Favorite moments:

Brooke: Triceratops ride
Dylan: Bubbles and seeing the animals
Mommy: Safari ride
Daddy: Watching the musical, Finding Nemo
Day's not over yet - we are hanging out on the deck and going to the pool...Off to Magic Kingdom tomorrow!

Day 1 at Disney!!! We strolled into Orlando right at 2pm and made it to the Magic Kingdom JUST IN TIME for the afternoon parade, which started at 3pm. Good trial run for us all, it was the perfect way to kick off our trip.  And most importantly, Brooke was able to see the Princess FIRST!  (That is all she wants to do). :)
