Disney World (Part 2) :)

Day 3 of our family vacation in Florida: (warning..picture overload..once again)

We woke pretty early and headed to our character dining reservations at Animal Kingdom. For those of you that plan on going someday.. the trick is to make reservations first thing when the park opens (usually at 9) because you check in for your reservations at the front gate and they let you in the park before anyone else... so no standing in line with the other hundereds of people :)

Our character dining was with Minnie, Mickey, Goofy and Daisy! We were a little unsure how Kipton would do with all the characters. He only likes Santa, the Easter Bunny and any other character from a distance. This was his first time to see a character up close and personal at Disney World and he did as expected. He ran into his dad's lap and said hold me.. haha. They all came up to our table and signed the kids autograph book and took pics with the kids. Of course one of us had to hop in the pic with Kip ;) He did warm up enough to give high fives but a hug was out of the question..lol!

Next up on the agenda was a safari. (By the way, we had a travel agent book everything for us, she booked our resort, airfare, fast passes, dining reservations.. everything. We went by an agenda she printed off for us. It was super easy to change as we were there and worked out perfectly.. didnt stress a single time). This safari was super cool. We hopped on an actual safari truck and saw many animals.

We also elected to add the Disney experience photo pass memory maker. There were photographers all over the parks and they snap cool shots and scan your bracelet and your pictures automattically upload on your Disney website. I recommend this feature :)

Check out that crazy tree!

We saw a live Nemo show!! And enjoyed the nice airconditioned building.. did I mention is was sooo humid and hot :)

We used a fast pass to meet Mickey and Minnie and get a memory maker picture! And holy moly we had a breakthorough.... Kipton actually leaned and and gave them both hugs! From this moment on he was all about pictures by himself (well with sister) and hugs :)

We checked out DInosaur land that was inside of Animal Kingdom. Kipton especially loved this! Dinosoar rides and even a dinosaur play area. The kids managed to find a cave that had water, so they cooled off :)

We headed back to Magic Kingdom by tram and ate dinner, then camped out to watch the electrical parade and the most amazing firework show on the castle.

Exhausted to say the least! But such an amazing day!!
