Orlando (Part Four)...

Our last day in Orlando, we got up super early and drove over to the Disney compound. Our plan was to spend the day at Disney's Animal Kingdom, return the rental car, and get on the airplane by 5. SUCCESS!

We knew we were off to a good start when they made us park our car in the unicorn lot. As soon as we were inside the park, we made a beeline for Africa and the Kilimanjaro Safari. We got stuck on the ride for awhile due to a giraffe in the middle of the road in front of the safari vehicle ahead of us. Luckily we were stuck next to the hippos. After the safari, we hit all the walking tours where we saw, Komodo Dragons, tigers, birds, gorillas and one of my favorites, Giant Fruit Bats... After checking out the animals, we rushed over to Expedition Everest which is one of the most fun rollercoasters I've ever ridden. You ride in and out of the mountain, fly backwards into the dark, and scream (if you're me) like a little girl when you see the Yeti! After Expedition Everest, we ran over to Dinoland USA and rode the super fun DINOSAUR... After the DINO-ride, we still had time to kill! Labor day weekend really is the best time to visit Orlando, little to no line waiting is awesome. We decided we would kill time by riding the Expedition Everest again and then again!
And here we are hamming it up now that we know where they keep the camera... Oh and that guy and his daughter in front of us? Definitely not acting! Ha.


Here's a nice picture of Katie at the Tree of Life. And then... we headed home.
