Day 3 WDW


Day 3 was spent at Animal Kingdom. That is a hot, hot place, long walks to get just about anywhere and only a few attractions that we like, so we weren't there long.

Our focus was getting to the Kilimanjari Safari where you take a safari through the African plains and see the animals up close. It's a very cool themed attraction and while they have cleverly hidden barriers between you and the animals, your open vehicle makes it feel like you could reach out and touch them. Here is a picture of Addison and daddy looking at the elephants:


After that we trekked over to Dinoland USA where the theme is cheesy 50's carnival. It's kind of cute and kitshy, but I can see why Disneyphiles don't like it. It certainly doesn't follow the theme to the rest of the park. We rode a dino ride very similar to Dumbo which Addison seemed to like. We were all very hot and needed a cool spot, so we headed over to the Boneyard with every intention of finding a sandlot which is always Addison's favorite attraction. Much to our delight there was a lovely shaded water feature with tunnels and such. We had to practically pry her away so that Granmy and she could get on their way to Clearwater Beach for a few days. Here's a pic of Addison with a water buddy:

My friend plays Ariel (on some days) at the MGM show 'The Little Mermaid'... Addison might enjoy that show... we are heading back to WDW in November for Thanksgiving... FUN! Glad you all are enjoying it!
