On the advice of a friend we made the safari our first FastPass. It was the perfect time because almost all the animals were out and about. The driver made the ride so fun and it really did feel like we were on an African safari - complete with driving through a river. ha! We saw The Lion King which was an awesome show, the kids played in Dino Land and then we had a huge rainstorm which they of course played in too. After the rain we went back to the safari because we'd heard the animals come out after the rain. It was so so awesome. We had rhinos practically next to the jeep and had to wait for animals to clear out of the way. We were all so giddy during that ride with all those animals! It was so much fun :)
We also met Mickey and Minnie here - in their safari gear! Owen was SO excited to meet them but when the time came he got nervous and decided not to be in the family picture. Mickey went over to him and convinced him to get into the picture. I was so happy he was able to get him in the pic and Owen felt pretty special getting a private chat with Mickey Mouse himself! I love, love, love the way the family pics turned out with M&M :)
We walked around the pretty foreign "lands" to see the plants & animals. We ended up leaving the park around 7 because we'd seen everything and thought it'd be nice to end our trip a bit early to get back, rest and pack up before heading back home.
We were driving straight through to Virginia instead of staying a night in between. The kids did crazy good for it being a 15 hr drive. Thank the Lord for minivans because it gave everyone enough space to not get on each others nerves. Ha.
I have to say this was honestly the BEST vacation ever. We all had such a great time, the kids were at perfect ages and it was awesome to see the magic through their eyes. We were thankful to have my mom there to have one kid to one adult too. Whew! I can't wait to go back!!
