Disney World, Part II

SATURDAY MARCH 12 - ANIMAL KINGDOM & EPCOT

The fun continues!! On Friday we had a relaxing day at the hotel. There was a little "beach" area that the kids dug around in the sand, a fun playground, and a fantastic pool complete with waterslides and cannons that shot water. It was slightly chilly (70 degrees - not that I'm complaining!!) so we spent a lot of time in the hot tub.





Saturday we started out at Animal Kingdom. This is where we made the mistake last time of putting Lincoln on the 'Dinosaur' ride, which turned out to be way too scary for him and resulted in a lot of crying and ride-refusal afterwards. So, we avoided that part of the park and focused on the animals and, of course, more characters!

Ellie really enjoyed brushing the goats!

Pretty thrilled to meet Jiminy Cricket...whom they have never heard of, by the way.


Ellie warms up to Rafiki:








We park-hopped over to EPCOT in the afternoon. Lincoln's aunt gave him a miniature playset of the EPCOT "ball" and he wanted to see "the huge golf ball" in person. The kids loved the Nemo ride and the little aquarium. Lincoln was thrilled to find the manatees ("mommy's favorite!") and seahorses. We rode the monorail, and had a yummy dinner in the "Japan" part of the park.
