Back to Animal Kingdom
On Day 5 at Disney we finally woke up to bright sunny skies. What a a change from the cloudy overcast and often wet mornings we have had. Although with the overcst skies came with more bearable temperatures. As we rode the bus to the Animal Kingdom different families all had the same stories to tell over the past week.
This time waiting for the official opening of the park in the sun.
Some of the characters giving a show to the waiting crowd. This morning we were headed to DinoLand, USA to finish up the attractions we didn't see the other night.
The wait for Dinosaur was 5 minutes so we were able to ride it twice.
The girls with their dinosaur friend.
Another hat fitting for the girls. Buzz Lightyear sitting on Claudia's shoulders.
Gillian with a dino head.
We ran into Pluto along one of the streets.
The dinosaur of DinoLand. Look at the blue sky.
The girls sitting in the car going to Dino Rama.
Here we are waiting to go on Primeval Whirl. Could not have been that good the girls didn't want to go on it again.
While we were on the Primeval Whirl I spotted Goofy down one of the lanes.
One Goofy family.
Time to lather up with the sunscreen.
Leaving DinoLand and heading to Africa.
We found a misting station along the way.
We Fastpassed Kilimanjaro Safaris and took the train to Rafiki's Planet Watch.
We got to meet Rafiki when we got to the Conservation Station.
I would think Jiminy Cricket should be careful hanging out in an area with a Year of the Frog sign.
The girls petting a goat.
We went on the Kilimanjaro Safari ride.
We walked the Pangani Forest Exploration Trail.
This was an actual person dressed up as a part of the tree.
We headed over to Everest Expedition to get some Fastpasses for the girls scrapbook.
Susan and Claudia waiting for us.
The thing I didn't know what it was the other day has a monkey today.
All the animals on the tree are carved into the trunk.
See the manatee in the background.
We left the park in the sun and headed back to the hotel for a swim. Again the rain cut our swim short and we had to walk back to our room in the rain, good thing we had our swimwear on. We also had a well deserved nap after being on the go for the last few days. We also missed most of the rain. We were headed to Downtown Disney for some shopping.
