DISNEY WORLD - ANIMAL KINGDOM
Character watch!!
The Maharajah Jungle Trek in the "Asia" portion of Animal Kingdom was cool for several reasons. We spotted some BATS!!! These were awesome. They were a lot bigger than I thought they would be and we were lucky to watch them after a thunderstorm. After it rains, they open up their wings and clean themselves like cats. It made me a little squirmy and I had visions of Dracula, but it was something I'd never seen before.
I think this guy was trying to figure out if he could jump the distance.
Reminds me of Raja the tiger:
Safari vultures:
For the Illuminations night show (my mom was ticked that Fantasmic was only on Thursday and Saturday - this is our favorite from Disneyland) we took a bus to EPCOT.
This giant ball has a ride in it. The ball itself can fit into the tank that I'm diving in with ten feet around the diameter to spare. Cool!
Illuminations of Earth:
Temperature: 100+ degrees F
Favorite Part of the Day:
Mom: Going on the safari in a torrential downpour. It added an element of authenticity.
Annie: The second time on the safari when the cows with giant horns were fighting and charging the safari truck.
Favorite Quote:
Mom: (said with a severe twang, no pauses, taken from a conversation behind us in a line) "So, what part a Carolina you folks from do any huntin' in those parts we got rabbit, we got sqrll (no vowels) we got berr, don't use berr much we barbeque we roast we marnade (limited vowels)" etc...
Annie: "That thunder sounded like a T-Rex"
On a side note from my mom, we were advised that if we missed the Matterhorn we should go on Expedition Everest in "Asia". Although it looks similarly themed - large mountain, roller coaster, yeti, my mom had this to say in my notebook at the end of the day:
"Expedition Everest: VOMIT, not the Matterhorn"
