Orlando Vacation Day 3 - Recap

The third day of our Orlando Trip was Disney's Animal Kingdom. Kenny started the day with his morning ritual watching Jungle Junction, Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, or Chuggington. We made DVDs that we could play on my computer for him.



Kenny was really not himself at Animal Kingdom. He had a runny nose and was on the tired side. We thought it might have been allergies but it turned out to be a slight cold. Here is Kenny and me on the Safari Train ride (boy he is heavy when he has to be carried).





This is how big Kenny is compared to a White Rhino (Kenny kept an eye on the Rhino, he didn't trust him).


Wildlife eating and drinking...


More wildlife eating and drinking (With worse manners, I think the one on the end tried biting me when I tried to get some chips. I know the one in the middle snarled at me.)


"Hey Dad, this is the best part of the trip so far."


Oh, what a motley crew I travel with.

Didn't it look like we were having fun? Well, pictures can lie at times. Someone wasn't feeling great and wanted a nap.


Kenny did take a nap and Mum and Dad watched him while Heather and I got to ride Expedition Everest. This is the rollercoaster that Heather and I have waited quite awhile to ride. They started construction when we were at Disney for our honeymoon. Heather was also excited to go on rides again. Heather hadn't been on a rollercoaster since before Kenny was born. Expedition Everest was worth the wait. We waited less than 5-minutes to actually ride Everest. A very nice women came by asking if there was a twosome in the ride line. I said yes and she gave us a couple of Fastpasses that she wasn't going to use. Yeah for us. I think Mum should have went on it with us.


Once we were done with Expedition Everest it was time to go on the Safari jeep ride. Kenny really seemed to enjoy this ride. He was looking around at all the animals. When we saw the elephants Kenny kept yelling, "Elephant, Elephant!"

My first alligator spotted on the trip (OK it's really a crocodile)


Can you spot the giraffe?


This was the only lion or tiger that we saw though


On the way out we ran into the Animal Kingdom Parade. Kenny thought it was ok at the beginning. There were a bunch of characters that Kenny didn't know. Once the well know characters came by Kenny got very excited. He reached out to hug Pluto when he came near him.

And we must pay homage to the Mouse

After dinner we headed to Downtown Disney for some sightseeing and shopping.
