Disney's Animal Kingdom and Epcot


We went back to Animal Kingdom this morning but were driven out of the park shortly after lunchtime by the huge crowds.

We immediately visited the Dinosaur! ride using the baby swap. Julia had no desire to ride. Louisa rode twice - again loving it. Lots of full sized dinos jumping out from the dark are just what she wanted.

Next we visited the Dinosaur Jubilee - which was a big tent with Dinosaur skeletons. We listened to a guided tour. The older girls were fascinated.

After a lunch of turkey legs we visited the Maharajah Jungle trek, which is a walk through zoo area with tigers themed to look like India. The theming was incredibly detailed. If there had been fewer people it would have been a wonderful experience. We could not see much at all because of the crush of people.

We bailed out of Animal Kingdom and adjourned to Epcot.

Marie and I had not yet eaten so we had a very late lunch and the girls had a very early dinner at The Land pavilion. The girls got into a cookie baking demonstration (The Land is sponsored by Nestles).

Watched the animatronic show Food Rocks which everyone liked.

Julia insisted we go back to the Journey Into Your Imagination ride. I picked up the Pirates CD at the Disney forever kiosk.

Back to the China pavilion for shopping and the movie again.

We left Epcot about 8 pm and watched the Magic Kingdom fireworks from across the parking lot.

Drove to Ocala to spend the night and got back home with about an hour to get ready to trick or treat.
