Day 2 - Animal Kingdom - MVMCP

Day two started out at the Tusker House for breakfast at 8:00.  We love eating at a restaurant in the park before it opens.  The food here is great and the characters are entertaining.  Make sure you try the Jamba juice if you go.  We love going to the Animal Kingdom for the day.  We went on the safari first which is really good in the morning.  Once we left there we rode Expedition Everest.  Even Heath rode it which was surprising since roller coasters aren't his thing.  Cale on the other hand rode that ride four times that day.  He loves it!! Cale was able to ride Primeval Whirl for the first time.  Heath had never rode it either.  Last year I rode it by myself and really enjoyed it.  We rode this ride back to back and I laughed and laughed at Heath who is not a fan of heights.  After this it was on to the Dinosaur ride.  Get ready for your teeth to vibrate out of your mouth!  It is a rough ride but a lot of fun.  We had to hit the gift shop on the way out of this ride and Cale spent some of his alloted money on a large dinosaur.  We had it sent back to our resort so we didn't have to carry it the rest of the day.  Lunch was calling us so we had a pizza at Pizzafari and then it was back to the rides.  We went over to Asia to ride Kali River Rapids.  You could easily spot us because we were the family in the ponchos.  You can get SOAKED on this ride and we have so ponchos are a must for us.  We finished the day by going to It's Tough to be a Bug.  We love that show.  It was about 3:00 and Cale was getting tired. We went back to the resort to take a nap and get ready for Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party that began at 7:00.  We needed our rest if we were going to last until midnight.

Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party
We love this party!!  We spent most of the party in TomorrowLand.  Cale was so addicted to riding Space Mountain over and over that we could hardly get him to go anywhere else.  One thing that was really neat was that Cale and I were on the Astro Orbiter while the Christmas fireworks were going off.  What a cool and memorable experience!  While we were in TomorrowLand Cale and I danced with Chip and Dale and Goofy and Pluto at one of the Christmas dances.  We had a blast!  Did I mention everything we rode was walk on??  Oh what a night!!!

  1. Wow, John and Heath sound like they might be related! From the fast passes to the turkey legs, to not liking roller coasters! Sounds like you guys had a great time. You have to ask John about Space Mountain the next time you see him for a good laugh!
