Disney Days 3, 4 and 5

Day 3 - Animal Kingdom

We got to Animal Kingdom mid-morning and went straight to get in line for the Lion King show! We were just a little bit early, so we found Thumper and Mrs. Bunny, and Minnie Mouse to get pictures with first!

The Lion Kings show is AWESOME by the way. Maya loved it...especially the "monkeys" who were male gymnasts doing trampoline, high bar and the trapeze. : )



After the show we went straight to the dinosaur ride. I believe we those were triceratops that they were riding in.

This gigantic brontosaurus towered above the dinosaur section of the park.

Grammy had ice cream with the girls while Poppy, Daddy and I went on the Expedition Everest ride. So fun!

That day we decided to rent a stroller. We forgot ours at home (like in Minnesota home), and the girls had done really well for 2 days without one, so we thought we'd give them a break. They decided to bring their Disney figurines I got them as a gift. They were a life saver, especially for Maya who often had to wait in the stroller while everyone else did big kid stuff.

Ooooh...a fan favorite...the Nemo ride. We went for a ride in these clamshells and watched Nemo story as we went by. This was Maya's favorite.

After the Nemo ride ends, you end up in a huge aquarium. This shark of course was not real, but it was fun to take a picture in its mouth!
Day 4 - Epcot
Epcot is probably the lease kid friendly of the 4 Disney parks, but we did manage to find Jasmine and Aladdin and get a picture with them!

I think this is on the ride in the Norway country section of the parade of nations. She did not like the dark rides.

This giant troll was waiting for us when we got off the ride. The hats were too cute!
Day 5 - Hollywood Studios
This was a fun day. First you walk in and see Mickey's giant sorcerers hat from Fantasia! It's really cool looking at night too when it's all lit up.
We got this same picture 2 years ago with the girls. They both loved the Ariel show.

After the show we caught several characters taking pictures real close together...so we got in line! Hi Donald Duck!

Tigger and Eyore.


And of course Minnie!

One of the shows we waited for all day was Beauty and the Beast. It's like an awesome Broadway production. Maya couldn't wait!


Walking through Hollywood Studios with Gram and Pops!

If I remember correctly these giant popcicles were called Whatsitkadoodles. Yup, I'm pretty sure that was it. : )

Heading to another line with a tired little monkey.

Sully and Mike from Monsters Inc. Maya did not want to get to close to Mike and his huge eyeball.

Hollywood Studios was all decorated for Christmas by the time we got there. Aaron wanted to take a picture under the Xmas tree...

I think those popsicles are called "itzakadoozie", silly.
