We spent today at Animal Kingdom, and it was a wise choice - not crowded at all. We started the day off with the thriller ride - Everest. Michael didn't ride it this first time; but he rode it later and enjoyed it. This was probably my favorite roller coaster of all.
We also took in the fantastic Nemo Musical, the safari, Rafiki's Planet Watch, the Tree of Life, and a few rides in Dino-land that we hadn't done before. Michael got some face paint: a dinosaur skeleton - very cute... he was so happy to wear it. Michael also enjoyed the safari ride so much he wanted to stay on it again. We got to see a bunch of animals.
We also got to watch the Jingle Jungle parade; each of the floats were wrapped in Christmas. Gotta love Santa Goofy :-)
After the parade, we headed over to the Animal Kingdom Lodge, to the restaurant, Sanaa, where we had dinner. The restaurant had a glass side that overlooked the savannah. The kids were able to go outside and spot lots of animals before dinner. Sanaa offered a special Thanksgiving meal that had been prepared for that evening, and it was delicious.
Our time together is so nice... we've laughed more together this week than ever, I think.
