DISNEY : Animal Kingdom and Magic Kingdom FLORIDA

**Let's Go Kids- It will be fun.  We PROMISE!!!!**
 We were waiting for this day.  A day to try Animal Kingdom, since this was the only Disney Theme Park that we hadn't been to previously, AND OH!!!  It was AWESOME!  Disney is good at what they do.  Animal Kingdom was amazing.
 The kids could barely contained themselves!  Rides and Mickey - OH MY!
 Plus, we were able to see Rolando and Martha, and they hooked us up.  SWEETLY - like with free tickets for all SIX of us, and Martha gave us a walking tour and we visited on the SAFARI ride.  Have you ever met people that you REALLY, REALLY love and wish they were your neighbors.  They are those people.  We love to see them every trip to Florida.  The nicest people ever.  We even conned them into coming to dinner later because we REALLY enjoy them.
 Here is the SAFARI ride.  I HIGHLY recommend it!
 These animals roam around this HUGE Savannah - Giraffes and termite mounds.
 Elephants and the beby Elie.
 The rhino that was charging, then stopped short and began to innocently munch grass.
 The tree of life.  So huge, so cool, impressively gigantic....
 Gabe's first BIG ride - Mt. Kilamanjaro.  Hells Bells - That was a CRAZY, SCREAMING ride.  The 3 of us LOVED it, and my Dad waited with the twinnies.  Bless him!
 Now, our FREE 6 tickets were park hoppers and free parking and free strollers to boot.  Off to the Magic Kingdom- and off to stay until the fireworks.  Kinda worn out, but we are going full steam anyways and the babes were TROOPERS!
 Magic Kingdom here comes the Cowarts - And Larry!
 We adored the plays - Lion King and Nemo were incredible.  But even these are amazing...  Disney I love you.
 Favorite 2 rides at Magic Kingdom - The log ride (SPLASH MT.) which we did 3 times back to back, allowing all 3 munchkins a turn in the front.
 And the Buzz Lightyear shooting ride.  So fun- so freaking fun!
 Now it was dark, the castle glowing.  Fireworks stunning us with their glorious lightshow, but we continued on the rides to the last second.
 Here are Grant and Grandpa.  My dad is so great!  I was and am blessed!
Here we are, happy-tired and closing down the place.  What about you?  Anyone else enamored with Disney like us.  GOLLY we had the best day...  I am dreaming of going to Florida again.  The boys want to return everyday (still) and Corey just said, "I wish we could go next year."  I guess I need to get serious about my Florida savings jar again.
