We saved Animal Kingdom until the last day.

We started the day with breakfast with Donald and friends at Tusker House. The food was wonderful & the kids (i.e., Daniel!) had finally warmed up to the characters.

And, the wait staff was entertaining, too! Overall, it was really a very exciting experience. Here's my own personal Mickey Mouse:

After breakfast, we took the safari ride & got to see lots of animals! The kids were super-excited to bounce through the savanah and see lions, elephants, and tons of exotic animals. Here the boys are, climbing on the elephant statues:

Here's my little guy about midday. Can you tell it's day 5? I look exhausted, too!

And, Daniel's favorite food on the trip was the chocolate cake we had for dessert after almost every meal. Grandpa Sam was a trooper about sharing!! Check out this messy face!!

After lunch, it was back to the hotel for one more afternoon at the pool with the fabulous volcano water slide!! The boys LOVED our hotel. Overall, it was a great trip. We were pleasantly surprised by how well the kiddos behaved and especially how well Colin did. And, it was a nice surprise to find out how many rides Colin could actually go on, especially in a baby carrier. Anyone with a baby who's planning to head to Disney absolutely NEEDS a baby carrier for the rides. It definitely takes the weight off standing in line (pun intended!!). A stroller alone just won't cut it since you have to park it when you get in line.
