Disney World- Animal Kingdom

In November we went with my (Brittany's) family to Disney World.  Although we went to Disneyland the year before, it was especially fun to go with Charlie this time, as he was old enough to enjoy it.  Disney World is HUGE.  It is so much bigger than Disneyland and there is a lot more to see.  To be honest, Disneyland is probably a little bit easier to do with kids as young as ours, but we still had a blast.

One of the really neat things that Disney World has that Disneyland doesn't is Animal Kingdom.  Honestly, this park made the whole trip worth it for us, mainly because Davey was so excited to go there.  He says he wants to be a zookeeper when he grows up, and he spent hours looking at the Animal Kingdom section of a Disney World guidebook that we had.  Fortunately, it lived up to all his expectations and was his favorite park.

Breakfast with Donald and friends.  Charlie isn't so sure about all these characters!

Charlie refused to stand with most of the characters, but finally let us take his picture with Mickey.

He and Davey followed Goofy around the restaurant playing instruments.

Loved the parades!

They had this scavenger hunt that you could do in each land of the Animal Kingdom.  You would go to each station and they would teach you something about animals or the environment and give you a stamp.  Davey LOVED doing this.  Honestly, I think he liked it more that most of the rides.  We didn't finish our first day there, so we had to go back another day and finish it.  The boys were both pretty proud!

Davey's favorite animal (see his little face poking over the back?)

Rafiki

Pocahontas told us that Rafiki had a blue bottom so of course he had to turn and show us

Dave really liked Pocahontas.  He even told me afterwards he thought she was hot.  I think he just really liked her long hair.  Then I told him I was pretty sure it was a wig and I think he was a little disappointed.

Honestly, I think I prefer Disneyland to Disney World, IF it weren't for Animal Kingdom.  Disneyland was the original and it seems like the "Disney Magic" is a little stronger there.  I still have more pictures of the rest of our vacation that I will have to use for another post, but since Davey loved Animal Kingdom so much I had to give it a post of it's own.
