Disney World - 2010

Day 2

Well, day one was better for Nolan, he was able to nap and was more comfortable in the room, so day 2 was going to be better. Again, the families split up, as it is just easier that way. We had dinner reservations for an early dinner at the Hollywood Studios, so we knew we would all be meeting up later.

We started out at the Animal Kingdom, not as early as I thought we would, but early enough. We got our Fast Pass for the safari, and then walked along one of the trails to see some of the other animals. It was fun to see animals that were different than the ones we usually see at the Minnesota Zoo - the gorillas were out, and two of them were walking around. We then grabbed a quick snack, and headed to the safari! To be honest, this was the best safari I have ever been on at the Animal Kingdom!!! We saw both the white and black rhinos, lots of elephants, the giraffes, both the male and female lion, and even the cheetah - normally, the cheetah are just laying around, but while our safari vehicle was driving past, a group of some deer-like animal ran past and both cheetahs popped up, and one was running parallel to the deer...it was so cool.

After the safari, it was time to head back to the resort. After a very short nap, we packed up and headed back to the Hollywood Studios. We had time, and got to the park just in time to see the parade! Nolan liked seeing the characters from Toy Story, Bugs Life, and The Incredibles. He wasn't into dancing or playing with the parade people. We walked over to the old Animation Studio building, which is now a character meet-and-greet. We got to see Mickey Mouse, and Nolan got his autograph and picture (he wasn't afraid of Mickey!). We had a great dinner at the 50s Prime Time Cafe, and then wandered around the park until it was close to park close and headed back to the resort.
