Epcot and Animal Kingdom

After character dining on Wednesday, we decided to take advantage of magic hours and headed over to Epcot. Magic Hours are only for guests staying on Disney, so the amount of people are cut in half. We did quite a big of exploring and we're in awe by the famous "ball." We felt like we were in space quite a big....how amazing. We also rode a ride called Soarin'. It was crazy! We felt like we were parasailing over California and even smelled the orange orchards and evergreens in the mountains! I'd say it is one of our favorite rides. So, after a VERY long day, we headed back to our hotel room and CRASHED!!!


Thursday morning, we got up and went to Animal Kingdom. Colby really enjoyed this park.
We rode this ride that was on Mt. Everest. We were running from the Yeti. It was the scariest roller coaster we went on, but everyone including the princess liked it and I think we rode it 3 times.
This is Colby and Vance all ready to go.
We also headed to Dinoland. There was a ride that Emma wasn't tall enough to ride, so while Vance and Colby got their bones jarred, Emma got her face repainted.

And we bought her princess ears.
We went on a neat open-air jeep safari through "Africa." We drove by really animals just out in the open. What an experience.
They had a neat jungle-jamming parade that was WiLd! I can't believe how much work goes into all the planning.
At Rafiki's island....

A pretty rainbow at Mt. Everest...
A show as the park closed...
The Animal Kingdom closed at 5, so we headed over to Epcot again. Like I said, after the Magic Kingdom....Animal Kingdom was kind of a let down, but I'm glad we went....Colby loved it!
