Day 4, Part 1: Animal Kingdom (round two)

We hadn't seen nearly all that Animal Kingdom had to offer on Monday, so we headed back over!  We arrived right around the time Emory was due for her 2nd breakfast, so I'll touch on the babycenters now. They are incredible!! They have private nursing rooms, a room with a tv playing Disney movies, a little store if you need to buy baby supplies, a room with like, 12 changing tables, and a full kitchen. THANK YOU, DISNEY! It was super helpful. Plus, sitting in the AC was a nice change from the heat and humidity of hurricane season in FL :)

On the train (which was the best part) to Rafiki's Conservation Station. It sounds exciting, but the best part was the effort they put into the front of the building..It is a school trip about taking care of the planet, and a small petting zoo.. Thank goodness we'd been to the Greensboro Science/Nature (? name?) which was a zillion times better..

Pigs


shorn sheep

Really cool front to the building

Riding Kali River Rapids!!

Two giant bats on the Maharajah Jungle Trek!! Or maybe it was on the Pangani Forest Exploration Trail..we did both! A very neat up close and personal view of some architecture and animals in Asia and Africa, respectively.

Flights of Wonder bird show. We didn't stay for the whole thing ..they were hungry and lost interest. They will probably get more into it when they are 5 years older ;)
 
We had lunch at Flame Tree BBQ which was delicious!! TGMike recommended a great place to eat and also to sit in a certain area where we had a cover from a brief rainstorm and a beautiful view of the bridge from Africa to Asia and the big volcano rollercoaster~gorgeous!
 
After lunch we headed to "Dinoland, USA" a random-ish part of AK which is adjacent to/includes the Finding Nemo Musical~it was awesome!!  We hit a couple of little roller coasters the kids liked in Dinoland before heading back to the Beach Club
