Animal Kingdom

We spent 1 day at the beautiful Animal Kingdom park.  There aren't a whole lot of rides at the park, but there is a big focus on nature with lots of animal encounters and nature trails and such.  Dawson's favorite ride was Expedition Everest (a roller coaster), Brady's was the Triceratops Spin, and we also enjoyed the Kilimanjaro Safari and the Dinosaur ride.  There were some great shows at the park - the boys favorite was Flights of Wonder (a funny show with lots of birds and their tricks), the Nemo Musical was great, and we also liked the Lion King show.

Dawson really liked riding through and seeing all of the wild animals.

Trying out the African drums.

Train ride to Rafiki's Planet Watch, where there are lots of up-close animal encounters.

Triceratops Spin - which Brady and I must have done at least 6 times while Randy and Dawson did Expedition Everest 3 times (no long waiting lines at Disney this time of year makes for an awesome experience!!).
