Animal Kingdom and Fantasmic!

We were on our way to Animal Kingdom today due to a planned breakfast with characters. When we arrived, we had time with no wait to do the animal safari! Tons of animals...Rowan loved it. I think she liked the giraffes the most! Eddie groaned and pointed a lot!
They got to play in the dinosaur land area for a bit as well before heading in for breakfast.
We got to see Daisy again, Donald (but no autograph), Mickey and Goofy today. Again, Rowan was out in the conga line with Daisy and the kids. Eddie was cool just eating a full sausage patty. Priorities!
Again, we were going to head out but realized that we had time to make the Lion King show. Eddie fell asleep on my lap, and Rowan liked all the singing, especially the monkeys that did the acrobatics.
Again, back to the hotel for swimming and a nap. Was a much needed staple. And this was the day it was actually warm in and out of the water. Rowan would have gone down the slide the whole time we were at the pool! She loved it.
After nap and dinner, we tried to head to Magic Kingdom again for the night...but turns out it was the night of the Very Merry Christmas party (which we opted not to buy tickets for because I didn't know if the kids would stay up late enough to make it worth the extra 55$ a person, well they would have so I was bummed that it was sold out) needless to say, we arrived at 6pm and had to leave at 7pm, so we opted to walk to the Disney resort next door to take the bus to Hollywood Studios instead. It was by far the worst bus ride of the week. We had to walk to the resort, wait for like 20 min, get on the bus for it to make 2 other stops before even getting us to Hollywood Studios. And the bus was packed.

Anyway, we made it and were able to see Fantasmic! It was a water and lights show. It was neat, but the wait was a little long, and then there were a ton of people in the ampitheater, so took awhile to get out. But we were glad we got to see it.
