Disney Trip Report: Day 3

Monday: We got up early and did a character breakfast at Tusker House at Animal Kingdom with Mickey, Donald, Minnie, Goofy, and Daisy. The kids loved it, and the food was really good. 

Deke decided to have a blowout at the exact moment we boarded the bus, so we christened the bus with a diaper change.

We then did the safari ride (very cool), saw the Lion King show (awesome), and just walked around the park. Fletch loved the Lion King show, shouting at the end, “THANK YOU, SIMBA.” You can walk up to the “characters” (animatronics) after the show and somehow they are able to sort of interact with you, and Fletch was so excited when Simba waved to him.

After that, we just walked around. It was SO, SO, SO hot and crowded. Just wall-to-wall people. We left there around 2pm and went back to the hotel for lunch. After lunch, we put on bathing suits to go swimming, but it started to thunder. Instead, we hung out in the hotel's playroom with crafts, arcade games, etc. until the pool re-opened. We had a great time in the pool because it was relatively empty since not many people knew it reopened. P&F went down the HUGE, 20-foot water slide by themselves. I couldn't believe it. After swimming, we got take-out from Contempo Café at the hotel and then the kids went to sleep fairly easily.
