Disney World 2009 - Day 1

We started our 7-day Disney World trip at Animal Kingdom. We arrived before it opened, and Steph had the game plan all worked out. (Basically, go to all the major attractions first.)



We headed first to the Kilimanjaro Safaris ride, which turned out to be pretty cool.









We then headed for the Lion King show, which was pretty good. We felt it could have been shorter though. Why do Disney songs have to be so long?





After that, we saw the Bug's Life 3D show, which was also pretty good. Then we were off to the fair-ride section of the park, which also had a dinosaur archeological dig site.









We then went to meeting some of the characters.









We returned to the hotel after that to get some rest. We returned that evening to eat at the Rain Forest Cafe. The restaurant is immersed in a dark rain forest setting, which Ethan wasn't to crazy about! There were lightening storms, howling monkeys and roaring leopards.





We had a busy but fun first day! There was a lot we didn't see, so we'll be back.





Stay tuned for Day 2!
