Florida Family Vacation Day 7

Journal Entry: Saturday, October 9, 2010

Today we wanted to have a somewhat easy day but still go to one of the parks, but in the end it was still a pretty long day. We went to Disney's Animal Kingdom and were there until the park closed at 5pm. When we arrived in the morning we decided to go on the more popular rides that we thought might have a longer wait later in the day. We started out with Expedition Everest and it was awesome! So awesome in fact, that we each got a Fast Pass to go on it again later in the day. I should mention that a Fast Pass allows you to a return to the ride during a specific time frame and get in the Fast Pass lane, which results in a very short wait time. We went on the Kali River Rapids next and it was also fun. However, everyone got soaked...especially me! It took a large part of the day to dry off.

We also went on the Kilimanjaro Safari ride and saw all kinds of animals, such as elephants, hippos, and giraffes. Cameron wanted to watch the parade so we found a spot in the shade and Cameron loved watching all of the characters in the parade. At the end of the day we took Cameron to have his photo taken with some of the characters. He got his picture taken with Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Goofy, and Thumper...he was most excited for Mickey.

We came right back to the house after leaving the park because Pernell wasn't feeling well. Stephanie, Matt, and Cameron went for a swim while Cory, Chantel, and I just put our feet in the pool. After we got freshened up; myself, Cory, Cameron, Matt, and Stephanie went out for supper. Let me just say this...The Cheesecake Factory...YUMMY! We had to wait almost an hour for a table and it was totally worth it. Cameron was the only one who finished his meal and the rest of us took our leftovers home for tomorrow. Ours meals were so big that we had to get our cheesecake to go and we all look forward to snacking on that tomorrow.

We finally made it home at around 11pm and we called it a night shortly thereafter. Universal Studios tomorrow!
