Day Five at Disney World

// September 24th, 2009 // General

We spent the first half of our fifth day at the Animal Kingdom, kicked off with breakfast with Mickey and friends at the Tusker House. We then went on the safari and took a train ride to Rafiki’s Animal Reserve, where the live (and enormous) spiders they had there left me grossed out, Ally got to meet Pocahontas, and the kids had a chance to pet rather smelly goats.

As Ian napped, Ally and Eric rode the rapids twice, getting soaked the second time. Eric and I then took turns riding Expedition Everest, which was a great coaster. We took the bus back to the lodge for lunch and a swim and were then off to the Magic Kingdom for another character dinner at the Crystal Palace.

The girls rode Thunder Mountain, while the boys rode Pirates and the magic carpets, and picked up a Jack Skellington wreath for our front door for Halloween. The kids ended their night with the SpectroMagic parade, where Ally chatted with one of the dragonflies, and then Wishes fireworks. Eric and I ended the night very late after packing up all our stuff for the trip home.
