Kayla’s Visit to Walt Disney World – Pt. 2

 

It is now April 1 and we are off to Animal Kingdom…The best thing to do is to park at Animal Kingdom Lodge and take the bus over to Animal Kingdom (AK)…so that is what we did…So far we can still get a stroller for free so that is what we did when we entered the gate…

The first place we headed was to the Safari ride to get Fast Passes…The park was being populated and we knew the Fast Passes would go quickly…We headed over to the Pangani Forest Trail and slowly walked the trail to see all the different animals like an Akopi, or the Lowland Gorillas, or the Meerkats…Kayla was very excited to see these different animals that she has never seen before…One of the main animals we didn’t see on this trail were the meerkats…Usually there is a “guardian” or “watcher” on top of their mounds but none was to be seen…After the trail, we headed to The Lion King Show…Kayla really enjoyed the show…At first she was a bit scared cause of the noise and the bit of darkness…but after the show was over she said that she loved it…After the Lion King Show was over, it was time to head to the Kilimanjaro Safari… There were hippos, black rhinos, ostriches, flamingoes, jaquars (which you couldn’t see), crocodiles, monkeys, thomson gazelles and many others…the lion and lioness were sleeping and hiding…Kayla had a blast… For lunch we ate at Pizzafari and then headed out of the park and headed back to the Animal Kingdom Lodge…

April 2 was a day to just sit back and relax…We’ve been going and going and now it was a day to rest…But we got cleaned up, ate breakfast and headed to Cast Connection to buy a stroller cause as of April 3, we wouldn’t be able to get a stroller for free because of the Easter holiday…Richard and I found a nice stroller for $20 that will be good for all the time that we have her visiting us…At Cast Connection, Kayla picked out a little Pegasus stuffed animal and a little handbag to put Pegasus in…With this being her first vacation, we got little things for her so that she can enjoy her vacation…and it helps that the stuff is on sale and we got an extra 20% off…Kayla also found a pink princess lanyard for her trading pins…After our shopping expedition, we headed to Ace Buffet for chinese lunch…Kayla really enjoyed her little bit of chinese food and oranges…This day was very good and slow for us and much needed…

April 3 and today will be a stay at home day…Kayla wanted to go out but I had clothes to wash and cleaning to do so that I can catch up on things before everything got out of hand…We are going to meet family for dinner later today…Around 5pm, Kayla’s Aunt Cindy called and said to meet them at Old Town which is in Kissimmee…It took us a while to find them but Kayla got to see some really cool cars for the car show that is there every weekend…Kayla didn’t want to get on any rides at the Fun Spot…She was scared…but after we left there then she decided that she wanted to get on a few rides…Too late!  It was getting late and everyone was hungry…We arrived at Old Town about 5:30pm and didn’t leave until a bit after 7pm…We headed to Boston Lobster Feast and had dinner there and was treated to this great feast…
