Animal Kingdom

We love the AK, with all the shade and nature.  First up is always the Safari where the boys are entertained with the animals and my camera never leaves ready position.  I have learned to limit my photo taking as I can come away from one ride with 200.  This time I narrowed it down to only 30.  We saw plenty of giraffes, birds, and elephants . . . the lions were fast asleep and did not even peak over the edge at us.






More favorites include the drums, parade and Everest.  The parents love Everest; we go through the Single Rider line.  For those of you with small children, you can get a parent switch pass but one of you has to go through the main line then the second can go through the FastPass line.  You can take up to 3 per ticket.



More fun adventures await in Dino land and don’t miss the Nemo live show or It’s Tough to be a Bug (under the tree).

Hollywood Studios

This was the longest day, EVER!  We began with Jake and the Disney Junior pals at Hollywood and Vine for breakfast and did not leave until after the UCA Cheerleading semi-finals were over.  That would be about 13 hours.  Man did it take it’s toll the next day.  Advice to all parents, don’t do it!  Don’t spend all day without taking a break.

We FastPassed Toy Story Mania, W loved Star Tours, sat at the beginning of the parade (ground view is the best view), watched Beauty and the Beast, and one of us took on Tower of Terror (not me).


The boys sported their Arkansas sweatshirts the morning of Hollywood Studios and the nights in the Magic Kingdom (hey I let them wear their Ole Miss shirts the first day).


Breakfast with Disney Junior!

Handy Manny


Osso!!!


Jake with W and Jake

Wreck It Ralph


And Mickey


Followed up by Buzz and Woody (can’t miss them) – I wonder if Buzz smiles for the camera, underneath it all



EPCOT

For 5 months all I have heard is how awful it was that we did not see Goofy, so who to my surprise is standing at the entrance of EPCOT but Goofy!




Oh how they loved on Minnie!

Our favorite ride is obviously Soarin’ but we also enjoy Nemo.



Oh my Manatee!  These guys are huge and eat lettuce.


We did not spend as much time at EPCOT this time, maybe when the boys are older.
