We decided to visit the Animal Kingdom park today. The Lion King show was on our list of things to do, so we went straight to the theater. It was great!
Claire kept asking to ride rides (She had so much fun riding on the rides at the Magic Kingdom the day before that she wanted more, more, more!). We went on Dinosaur, a ride that Claire thought was a little too scary. The TriceroTops Spin was more her speed. We went on a safari to see animals in their natural habitat and walked through a trail to see lots of animals (fish, gorillas). We watched another show, Finding Nemo, the Musical. It was fantastic! Claire really seemed to enjoy seeing the story of Nemo adapted for this live stage performance.
The highlight of Claire's day was seeing so many Disney characters up close. It didn't matter how long the line was, she was willing to wait patiently to see characters. At first, we weren't sure if this was the best use of our time, but the excitement in Claire's face showed us it was. We were able to visit with several characters including Minnie Mouse, Chip and Dale, Pluto, Lilo and Stitch, Winnie the Pooh, Tigger and Eyeore. It really brought us such joy to see Claire's face light up when she interacted with each character. Later she would say, "Mommy, I think [insert character's name here] was just someone dressed up in a costume." Funny, but she never said that about any of the princesses we met later on our vacation.
