We had one final day in Orlando...and couldn't decide which park to visit. We landed on Animal Kingdom and as soon as I set foot inside the door, I was so glad! It is a BEAUTIFUL park!
Sometimes when my boys are acting up, I find myself thinking "why can't you just behave how you behaved at Disney World?" Seriously! They were as close to perfect as they will ever come :) They shared with each other, they barely argued at all, they listened, followed directions, no meltdowns, very few tears....just truly enjoyable little men. Sigh.
Given the time of year, there were very few lines, but when there were...they waited like champs.
Did I mention that Jacob often talks Mitchell into going on rides that are a little too scary for him?
:(
Finally a ride the whole family can go on!
Look at that HAPPY little man! (note the MAP firmly grasped with his hand) He LOVES maps! He can't read them...he just loves looking at them and carrying them around :)
The safari ride was my favorite of the day. Just look at that wildlife...giraffes, zebras, elephants, etc. Amazing!
I thought this "vine lady" was so beautiful! She walked gracefully around the park on stilts. Again, amazing.
I couldn't help by photograph some of the scenery!
Some map help from the troops
Just look at this make-shift African village we're strolling through on our way to Mount Everest...or Kilimanjaro...oh, who cares, it was a beautiful mountain!
Don't worry, there were plenty of Disney characters to interact with!
Mitchell enjoyed digging for fossils in the sand pit.
No fossils, but he was happy enough to find a leaf. Whatever makes his day! :)
We took a family spin on on the water ride...which we all enjoyed, except for the water part. Maverick got a little too wet for his liking!
Family spin on the pedal cart!
Maverick is in LOVE with his Spiderman shoes!
Maverick was thoroughly entertained by the bird show. Can't you just see the excitement in his eyes? I LOVE this picture of him :)
We all looked forward to the Disney parades! What fun!
One of last things we did at the Animal Kingdom was the Lion King show. One of the actors invited Mitchell to join him on the dance floor...he didn't realize the Folks boys are a package deal. Maverick followed too...they entertained the crowd by dancing with the cast :)
No trip is complete without a family picture with Mickey Mouse!!!!

I cannot believe that Mitchell went on Expedition Everest!!! That was the scariest roller coaster I've ever been on! We didn't go to DinoLand but I would have thought Dinosaur was scary, too. I'll have to reconsider that for our next trip! Glad you guys had such a good time. As an FYI, the park maps are on the web. Will and I pull them up on the ipad and go over them in great detail - zooming in on his favorite attractions - while planning our next trip! :-)
