Day One: Animal Kingdom
Today was a big day for us. And I think that this day really set the tone for the rest of the trip!
We started the day going to Animal Kingdom. I remeber taking the bus to Animal Kingdom only because it was the first time we had to fold up the stroller. And a) Andy didn't know how to do it. Someone ended up helping him. and b) I realized we had ALOT of crap crammed into that thing and no good way to hold all of it when it wasn't actually in the stroller. Plus Gwen was still little enough that she needed help on and off the bus!
But of course we made it to Animal Kingdom!
And first up was the Safari.

I also remember thinking that the Rhino were REALLY close.
Lions by Ariella Saucier, on Flickr
Even the Lion was up and about!
After our Safari ride we headed to see the Lion King Show. The show, of course is the same, but at the time it was over where Pandora is now.
And they had these guys that you could see as you walked over the bridge

I think this one was right by where you parked the strollers. And Gwen WAS OBSESSED WITH IT!!!! She literally talked about Donald fishing a Boot ALL....... THE ....... TIME.....
I have a video of a trip reveal for the next trip, and Gwen says almost immediatly, that she can see Donald and the boot. I don't know.... kids...
We went in and got a seat for Lion King.

Gwen loved all of the show. But this guy...

SHE LOVED!!! She was clapping so big for this guy. It was soooo cute.
Also, looking at these pictures, I realize it's been awhile since we have seen this show!
After it seems like we found our way over to Dinoland... And let the girls run around in the Dig Site.

I HATED these things when we were there. They were so little, and trying to keep track of them was a nightmare!
(They loved it, of course)

I want to say we had lunch at Flame Tree BBQ next, but there are ZERO photos of food this trip. So, who knows...
We did finish the day off with a trip to see Finding Nemo Show. I do remember that we got in line and waited for a bit and one of the girls decided they had to go to the bathroom right before they were letting people in. So, we had to get out of line, find the nearest bathroom and then rushed back to see if we could still get into the show.
We made it, after a little agrivastion...

Somebody was getting tired.
The girls loved Finding Nemo as well. And after that, it was time for us to leave and head back to the resort to rest!
I will say at this age(s)... This was more than enough time at Animal Kingdom. At the time, there was barely any rides for the girls to ride.
