Animal Kingdom First Day

We headed for Animal Kingdom the second day. Right before entering the park we met Briar Bear and Briar Rabbit. Once entering the park we headed for Camp Mickey where the kids could greet other characters.
Mickey Mouse

Minnie Mouse

Goofy

Chip and Dale

and Donald.
The lines were not long, the longest we waited was for Mickey and that was only about 15 minutes and part of that time they were switching out the person playing Mickey.

Then we went on the Safari ride in the Africa portion of the park. I was very disappointed since we didn't see many animals and the ride was so jerky that it was hard to get pictures of the ones we did. We saw a good amount of the elephants but no lions and the giraffes were far away. Ray and I both decided that if you really want to see the animals to go to Busch Gardens. Their animal viewing is by far superior. Sea World is still my favorite of the parks, however.

The kids enjoyed seeing the different animals in their aquariums in another area of the park. The first day we did Camp Mickey, Africa, and Dinoland.

After tiring of carrying Kimberly around in the sling and she really was getting hot, she enjoyed being able to sit in the stroller and see things for herself.

This was the best kid ride in the park. We went on it 4 times, Ray twice and me twice with the kids.

The last thing we did that day was meet Goofy (again) and Pluto. They were over in Dinoland. There was also a playgorund like area for the kids to climb, slide, run, and dig up dinosaur bones. The kids like that area. Sheila would fill her shoes with the dirt.
