Walt Disney World...Day 4...Animal Kingdom

The way we decided on the certain parks in the order we went was dictated by reservations at restaurants.  We completely lucked out in getting the ones that we did!  Another reason to commend "Mouse your way" on their assistance!
 We took the bus to Animal Kingdom and in front of "The tree of life".  It would take awhile for my camera to defog from the air conditioning to the hot humidity!  The Disney photopass photographers graciously took pictures with my camera whenever I asked.  It was a great way to be in the picture!  We went to get Fastpasses for the "Expedition Everest - Legend of the Forbidden Mountain" ride in Asia and then booked it over to Africa to go on the Kilimanjao Safaris.  It was a great ride in a safari jeep to see lions, giraffes, hippos and other African animals.

 Finding some fun drums to play!
This is a look to Asia and the Expedition Everest ride.  On this roller coaster we took turns taking Isabelle.  A Yeti jumps out at you while you go backwards and forwards on this fast rollercoaster!  Very fun!
 While Jamie and Isabelle were on the ride, Juliette, Allie and I went to DinoLand USA and took the "TriceraTop Spin" for a few rides.
 We then went back to Africa and walked along the Pangani Forest Exploration Trail to see more wildlife.

 We then went to our lunch reservation at the Tusker House Restaurant with Donald and friends.  Here the sisters are encouraging Juliette to give Donald a hug.
 So she hugged Allie instead.
 More autographs and Mickey...

 Giving Juliette a smooch!  :)
 Hi Daisy!
 Juliette wasn't so sure about Goofy!
 We waited and waited to see Minnie and Mickey at the Adventurers Outpost...
 We wandered around a bit more and it was sooo crowded!
 We saw the "Festival of the Lion King" which was so impressive with the performers, talented musicians and puppetry.  

The tree of life
 Disney in a nutshell.  Wait.
 The girls loved to go to the pool every day!  

 The white sand was much cooler then the concrete!
