Julia and I had so much fun at the Magic Kingdom on the first day. Imagine my surprise when I found out we'd be at Disney World for the whole week! On the second day, we headed over to Animal Kingdom. We started the cooooold day (like Day 1, temperatures barely got out of the 30s — it was actually colder in Florida than it was in New Jersey!) at Kilimanjaro Safaris, where we saw some amazing animals, like lions and giraffes.
We saw a terrific musical based on Finding Nemo, with astounding puppetry. Julia discovered this Nemo-themed Christmas tree. Neat!
We also spent some time in the Boneyard, which was a play area for little kids like us. After being stuck in my stroller for much of the trip, it was great to finally get to stretch my legs.
Then it was time for more meet and greets, like Pluto & Goofy...
Winnie the Pooh...
Tigger...
Mickey Mouse(!)...
And last but not least, Donald Duck.
We also watched another terrific parade, Mickey's Jingle Jungle Parade. We left the park after that and had hoped for a quiet night after two crazy days, but then we went out to dinner and discovered that Dad had locked the keys to our rental inside the car. So we were stuck there until AAA could get into the car. Oops!
Here's a video from Day 2:
Check back soon for Day 3, back at Magic Kingdom!
