A few of my favorite things - Three

Well the last few weeks have been so busy for me that my blogging has gone by the wayside. Hopefully I can get back into the swing of things soon. So here we are at Animal Kingdom. I enjoyed this park much more this time then I did last trip. I think some things have been expanded and added and it was great fun. Animal Kingdom seems like the hottest park that we visit and this time was no exception. We made the best of things though and just had a great day.

My first favorite was breakfast this day. We got goodies and tucked ourselves away in a little quite hidden dining area.

Our first stop after breakfast was the Kilimanjaro Safari. This is a great family ride and we all enjoyed seeing the exotic animals and plants from Africa.

I love how this mist was coming through the flora.

Mom loves chai tea lattes. Well we did not have much luck finding them at Disney World. (ie they are nowhere to be found in Walt Disney World) One night I was able to do a little research and found the one and only place in all of the parts that sells chai. So this is definitely one of my favorite things!!

Our whole group loved the Birds of Wonder show and enjoyed the tie in to all of the tourist groups in the park.

A few of my favorite things - Two

These are a few of my favorite things from Hollywood Studios!

New Sunglasses! I forgot my sunglasses at the resort, so I had to break down and get a new pair. Sister ended up getting the same pair! Can you find the hidden mickey?

I really love Mickey's hat sitting at the center of HWS. Its huge and makes for a great meeting place.

Family! No complaints here!

I was so excited for the back lot tour. We got to tour a few movie sets and see some stunts. Not as great as Universal Studios and their 'attack you in 4D with a trex and king kong' but it was pretty good.

Next was dinner at Mama Melrose's. Now I love italian anyway, but this was super good italian. The desserts were amazing and my dad said it was the best steak he has ever had!

And lastly my favorite thing of the whole trip! Lights, Motors Action - Extreme Stunt Show. This was about the coolest thing I have ever seen! Stunt driving looks SO much better in real life then on the screen!
