DIsney, Day 3, Part 1---Animal Kingdom

Our 3rd day began at Disney's Animal Kingdom.  First stop:  Harambe Wildlife Reserve (which was sooo much better than a zoo).  This exhibit is where you rode in an open-air bus and were able to view animals in as close to a natural habitat as we can see in our suburban existence.







Next up:  The Kali River Rapids where you sit in a circular raft and gently glide down the RAPIDS in a river (??? oxymoron).  Oh, and you also get splashed with a ton of water.  Some loved it (Quincy), others didn't (Ellie, Kali).









We ate lunch at the Rainforest Cafe...good food and fun environment (they had anima-tronic animals all over the place that were constantly chattering...the girls loved it!).


The afternoon ended with the girl's first 3-D movie experience: It's Tough to be a Bug




At the end of the afternoon the girls were just as energized on the bus-ride back to the resort as they were on their way out in the morning...


...the adults, not so much.

Note:  Do not take little one's on the Everest Expedition unless they are VERY adventurous and can handle a super-jerky roller coaster going BACKWARDS in the DARK.  Bad call on our part....very very bad.
