Animal Kingdom

We had a very good time at the Animal Kingdom.  It definitely surpassed our expectations.  The crowds were very low at the park and so we were able to walk on a number of attractions and ride everything at least twice.

I thought my favorite at this park was going to be Expedition Everest because I am a little obsessed with Mount Everest and this is a roller coaster ride that goes backwards, but surprisingly I have to give my favorite vote to Dinosaur.  The whole showmanship of Dinosaur was just top-notch.  I mean how often do you have a life-size dinosaur roar right in your face, so close that you can feel it's breath blow your hair back?  The first time we rode Dinosaur it was a little scary for Paige, but Ashley and I convinced her to go again and the second time, knowing what to expect, she loved it.


Waiting to ride Dinosaur!

 We saw two shows at the Animal Kingdom: Finding Nemo and It's a Bug's Life.  I can't recommend It's a Bug's Life enough.  This was by far the best show we saw in all of Disney.  Ashley loved, loved it!
