Disney World: Day Three

On day 3 of our Disney Adventure we went to the Animal Kingdom Park. The girls were beginning to wear down a bit, but there were some great moments. Here are some highlights:

Entering the Kilimanjaro Safari
(We didn't get very good safari pictures, because the van does not stop. At all. For better safari pictures, see our archives for May 2007.)

The rear end of a sleeping rhinocerus

Giraffes

Flamingos

There are two lions there, I promise.

Chloe thought the fish pool smelled too much like fish.

Crocodile skull

Sleeping Gorilla

Meeting Thumper and...Mrs. Thumper?

One of the big highlights of the day - The Festival of the Lion King show

Big hugs for Minnie

Mickey

The girls put on a show of their own while waiting for the Finding Nemo Musical to begin. Pictures were not allowed at this event, but it was very cool - all done with puppets.

The favorite ride of the day was definitely Peter Pan's Flight
