Disney World 2014 Recap - Animal Kingdom (Tuesday - February 4, 2014)

On day 4 of our 2014 Disney World vacation we went to Animal Kingdom. It was another nice warm day. We arrived around 9:30am.



We had a FastPass+ reservation for Kilimanjaro Safari. It was a fun ride and we got to see tons of animals. The giraffes are my favorite. 



Next we walked over to Dino Land and rode the Triceratops Spin. It's pretty much a ride like Dumbo. 


Then we had a FastPass+ reservation for DINOSAUR. Kylie rode it with Daddy first since we weren't sure if she was going to want to ride it twice or not. Surprisingly she was okay to ride this one again with me! I'm not sure why this one didn't scare her as much as the Tower of Terror or Space Mountain, but it didn't. Maybe she was just extra brave that day. I don't think we will ride again the next time we go back though. 

By this time it was getting close to lunch time so we just went to the nearest quick service restaurant which was Restaurantosaurus located in Dino Land. We were there right around 11am and it was pretty empty, but by the time we left the place was packed. I definitely recommend  early meals when possible to beat the crowds. 

After lunch we had FastPass+ reservations for Finding Nemo the musical. This show was our favorite show at Animal Kingdom. We didn't get to see The Festival of the Lion King since at the time we were visiting they were in the process of moving that show from one location in the park to another. So for now Nemo is our favorite show there! We had really good seats and it was just really fun to watch. 


Next we went to the Flights of Wonder bird show and watched that. Kylie really likes birds so she enjoyed that one. 



When that show was over we really didn't have any other plans so we walked around for a little bit and did some shopping. 

I thought these were really funny!
While we were shopping Alexis fell asleep in the stroller so we decided to pick a spot to sit down and waited for the 3:45pm Jungle Parade to start. 


The Jungle Parade was really fun. It was actually the only parade we got to see on this trip. We somehow missed the ones at the Magic Kingdom. Chip and Dale were really funny. Chip walked up and gave Kylie a kiss on her hand and then rubbed his chin to Joe. It was his way of complimenting on Joe's beard. 


Then one of the bear characters came up and leaned over Alexis sleeping in the stroller. It was so cute. Alexis had no idea. She slept through the entire parade!


When the parade was over it was a little after 4pm. We had 4:30pm dinner reservations at the Rainforest Cafe. Shortly after we got there Alexis woke up from her nap. She was a little cranky so I didn't get to enjoy this meal as much as I would have liked. I really liked the atmosphere there. We had been celebrating Kylie's 5th birthday while we were in Disney since her birthday was the very next week so at the end of dinner the workers at the restaurant sang happy birthday to her. It was really fun and she loved it!



We really liked eating there even though Alexis was not at her best. We may try to eat there again next time as well!

So after dinner it was getting close to 6pm. We headed to the bus stop and made our way back to our resort. It was a fun day spent at Animal Kingdom.


Next up is our second day at Magic Kingdom!
