Day 2 Disney's Animal Kingdom!

On Day 2 it was our first full day at Disney's Animal Kingdom. We started our day getting a fast-pass (the best invention by the way) for the African Safari and then headed over to our first Character meal for breakfast at the Tusker House. Our character meal was called Donald's Safari Breakfast, one of the best! We saw Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Donald Duck, Daisy and Goofy! It was the best food and so much fun! We got to watch Finding Nemo: The Musical, the Festival of the Lion King, and experienced its Tough to be a bug~! Wow, now that one was scary for the kids. It was such a fun day! Here are some of the fun pictures from the day:


The Festival of the Lion King; this was one of the best shows! Very cool to see Simba, Pumbaa and Timon characters.


The fam in front of the Animal Kingdom! We spent 12 hours at the park, long day!


This tree was just beautiful, it is in the center of the park! Its so neat!


This is the view from the bridge of the best ride at Animal Kingdom called Expedition Everest. It is a one of the best rollercoasters ever, Brayden rode it 2 times! He is fearless!


Donald Duck came outside to greet all the guests for breakfast, so fun!


The African Safari ride, it was so neat to be so close to the animals! It felt like you were in Africa.


Jon and the kids with Goofy! Goofy is Jon's favorite disney character so he was so happy!


The kids and I seeing Miss Daisy duck, she was so cute with the kids! They were so in awe seeing all the disney characters, it was so unbelievable.


Brayden and Jon at the Animal Kingdom!


Sharlee wanted to see Minnie Mouse so we stood in line to get a picture with her; she is so sweet!


We went to the 3D show, Its Tough to be a Bug! It was from A Bug's life and completely scary for little kids but so funny at the same time! It freaked us out!


The Finding Nemo: The Musical Show; it such a great show!


Brayden and Sharlee with Flick from A Bug's Life!


Brayden and Sharlee with Mickey Mouse!


We decided to let Brayden and Sharlee try on some of the fun hats of all the characters. Here is Sharlee wearing the Goofy Hat.

And that was our day at Disney's Animal Kingdom! It was a great first day and the kids were wiped out! But they still had enough energy to want to come back to the hotel and go swimming so that is what we did! :)

Jon and Luke in the pool, it was kind of chilly! But lots of fun! ;)

Just wait it gets even better! Best vacation ever, sorry Tammy I think this even topped my trip to Hawaii, although it's a close 2nd. Want to go back today if I could.

Love the 2nd day pics. I am saving them all to my computer. Can't wait to talk to the kids alone about the trip. We need some time together. When are you going to need me to sit again. That is my favorite time with them. Grammie
