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.

The Girls  

This time waiting for the official opening of the park in the sun.

The wait for Dinosaur was 5 minutes so we were able to ride it twice.

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.
