So very sorry for anyone who was reading my Trip Report that I didn't finish it sooner. I have another TR to write, and a PTR, so I'm going to finish this one and then start my next TR, from November 2014. So enjoy!

It was time for a park we hadn't yet visited - ANIMAL KINGDOM! I love this park, it's so different from the other parks, and so beautiful in my opinion.
We had to stop and admire the tree.
We first got our FastPasses (with the old system) for Kilimanjaro Safari, then went to Expedition Everest and rode it twice, there was no line! This was my first time riding it, I absolutely loved it! We realized that the back is more intense. Overall, what a fun ride!
Next up was Dinosaur - this is a favorite of J's, he loves anything with dinosaurs (as evidenced by that photo of him in Jurassic Park). I, however, do not like Dinosaur, and I was reminded why - the only thing I enjoy is Phylicia Rashad at the beginning. The ride itself is much too rough for me to enjoy it. Just a personal preference.
Back to KS for the safari! Our driver wasn't the best, but we still had an awesome safari ride.
Next up - Finding Nemo the Musical! This was a first for all of us but one, and we all really enjoyed it! J took one of my favorite photos from this trip while we were waiting for the musical to start...
G, S and me showing our best fish faces.
Then it was on to lunch at the Flaming Tree BBQ. I had the ribs platter, so good! One of my favorite CS locations in all the parks.
We had to of course see It's Tough to be a Bug, not new to any of us, but we like it. However, the little boy sitting next to us did not like it and became so upset that his mother took him out of the theater in the middle of the show when it was (spoiler alert) pitch black, climbing over us. Not the best show for little ones, there were several who were crying.
Since it was a fairly warm day, we decided to brave the Kali River Rapids next! We all got wet, but J and G bore the brunt of it. But we were all smiles afterwards!
Next Up... Back to the Magic Kingdom! Then a special last-night dinner at California Grill.
