Disney - Day 5

Animal Kingdom

We were blessed with a babysitter all day for Layla. HUGE! Sweet girl was able to stay back and enjoy the resort with our friend Jocelyn, who's working as a nurse in Orlando. We were so thankful that her schedule allowed for us to borrow her for a day! She and Layla had a blast, and we were able to spend the entire day at Animal Kingdom.

We started off the day by seeing a Bugs Life in 3D. Very cute!

 We then spent a good chunk of time in Dino Land. Lots of rides, games, and even a large dino themed play area. 

 We stayed in Dino Land until it was time for the 11:00 showing of Nemo the musical. This was absolutely the best show we saw all week. 

 We walked through many of the animal exhibits, and then stood in a LONG line to go on the Safari. It was truly the only long line we had to wait in all week, so we felt bad complaining. 

 It was worth it, though!

 Somehow us girls were talked into going on the rapids ride. Somehow I picked the absolute worst possible seat. There are no after pictures, but a few of us were soaked from head to toe!

 We stayed until late afternoon so we could catch the Jammin' Jungle parade. Very fun!

 We couldn't end the day without a chocolate Mickey ice cream! 

That evening, we made a last minute decision to head back to Hollywood Studios for the Fantasmic show. It's a really neat nighttime musical and water show that they put on. 

 Unfortunately, we pushed this little guy a bit too hard that day. He was tired, and had an upset stomach. We didn't stay for much of the show, but it was still neat to go and see what it was all about.

 Poor guy was exhausted!

This was really the only night that he couldn't keep up. He was able to go to bed early or catch afternoon naps on the other days, which really helped. He slept well that night!
