6/25
Hey
there Campers,
We
started the sunny day of with Animal Kingdom. If you want to know about life in
the jungle, this is the place to start. Everything
in this park starts with the Tree of Life. Mmmmmm. That sounds just like the
bible to me!
Sharelle
went online in March and booked our tickets and fast passes. Boy that was a
lifesaver. We had very little standing in line for the rides we wanted. Get there
early if you want to ride the Yeti in Asia land. It is the roller coaster that
goes backwards then forward. K is tall enough that she can ride it. This child
is very much like her Grammy. Loves those coasters. E tried her best to be tall
enough. She had her mom check out her height. Then she had her dad check her
height. Then Grammy check her height. The girl just would not give up. You are
just not tall enough. Next time. She had to stay with Poppy. Needless to say E
was not a happy camper.
We caught the train the Wildlife
Express Train to Rafiki’s Planet Watch. This is a great place for learning
about how animals live and survive on the planet. There are separate rooms
where you can go and listen to animals and get in depth learning. The girls got a
chance to see Rafiki and get his autograph. Doc McStuffins was also there. There
is a junior ranger program which helps kids see and touch animals and learn how
to protect the environment. Disney makes sure they have an area for learning in
all of their parks.
We
took the Kilimanjaro safari ride in Africa.
We continued on to the new Pandora - The World
of Avatar. The line to this ride was 3 hours long. Not for us to do today. We
had fast passes for the Pandora Na’vi River ride. We called it the baby Pandora
ride. It is a ride to just get you out of the heat. Do not spend more than 30 minutes in
line. The best I can say was it was colorful.
Since
it looked like it would rain again, Lo and I decided to leave. We drove around
the area where we were staying and saw this sign near the docks. Well I took
this serious. Believe me I was looking everywhere when I was getting out. No
gators today.
Well
Campers, until next time.
Lo
& Bren
You reminded me of "Mutual of Omaha's Animal Kingdom" TV show I watched as a kid. I always used to love it (except for the dose of misery at the end, about how people were making the world a worse place).
ReplyDeleteGlad you guys are having fun!
Always good to have at least one ride to get you out of the heat!
ReplyDeleteI haven't been to Florida since I was sixteen... and the humidity and heat alone is one of the reasons! The other... well, as the sign says, they're looking to eat...
