Disney World Day 3- Animal Kingdom

Animal Kingdom is the smallest park, so we got there early and planned to spend 1/2 a day there. The kids needed to take a nap in the afternoon, because we had the Mickey Christmas party from 7pm to midnight!

The first thing we did was ride the safari ride. Since we were one of the first to ride, they were feeding the animals and they were all very active! We saw rhinos, giraffes, elephants, fl amigos, lions, and birds. Brinley was very excited to see the giraffes since the last time we went to the zoo, they were being moved and we didn't see them. We even saw a baby giraffe that came right up to the safari bus and it was so cute!

After the ride you could walk around and see lots of fish, birds, monkeys and meercats! There were so many fish in this tank, it looked like they were swimming in gel because they were moving so slowly!

They had a child area that was dinosaur themed with a few rides for little kids. Clayton loved all the dinosaurs!
Animal Kingdom also has it set up where you can visit certain characters under their huts. We saw Mickey, Minnie, and Goofy all dressed up in their Christmas attire. It was really cute!


After we ate some yummy BBQ (which we were thrilled to find since we had been living on waffles, chicken nuggets and fries!!!) we headed back to the hotel for a much needed nap for everyone!
