Our third day in Disney was our sleep in day. ..HAHAHAHAHA! Of course, Aurora had other ideas and we were up by 7:30. We got going and made it to Animal Kingdom shortly after it opened and headed straight for the safari. We had to wait a couple minutes because we arrived before the ride started. The animals were lively and it was a fun start to the day.



We then headed over to Tusker House for breakfast. It was soo delicious! Our favorite breakfast on Disney property hands down. Plus the characters are there. Daisy was the best. She loved on Rora and made a big deal about Kira's birthday button.







After breakfast we took in the Animal Kingdom. I have to admit, it's my least favorite park. It's just so darn hot and everything is so spread out that there is more "wasted" time. Not the way I like to do things. Plus the fact that animals aren't as fascinating to me as they are to others makes it harder to show enthusiasm. Kira had a blast on the walking trails and used hte guide to find all the animals. It was neat to see her so engaged. Plus she got to show off her knowledge of deer by pointing them out without looking at the map. Must have something to do with all those dates with Grampa to Cabellas :)
We stuck around for the parade and it was neat. Kira didn't make it, she crashed in the stroller about 30 minutes before it started. We woke her up to see the parade, she was happy to see the characters, but grumpy.

After the parade we headed out to dinner at 1900 Park Fare. On our way out we stopped to get a picture in front of the Tree of Life since Josh wouldn't let us stop for a picture when we arrived at the park. It was a HUGE mistake! Kira didn't want to smile. Thankfully a couple that we had met earlier in the day were walking past and got her to smile for the photopass picture...Of course, I haven't ordered it and am not sure if I will...here is the picture where she is pouting.



Dinner was pretty good, Kira was thrilled to see Cinderella and the step sisters were fun. I doubt we will return here again as it wasn't anything special, good, but not great.


Overall it was a fun day. Not my favorite day and honestly, if we go for less than a week again, I doubt that we will go to Animal Kingdom. It's just not our park. However, any time that I get to see Josh interact with his girls is fun :)
