Leisurely went to Animal Kingdom today. We were all a little tired from yesterday.  I rushed over to get a fast pass for Expedition Everest while everyone else headed to "Dinosaur".  Dinosaur was fun for all.  After the kids went on Primeval Whirl, we went on the Kali River Rapids.  The raft was slightly tilted since we only had eight instead of ten people and Yael and I really got splashed. The water felt good since the day was heating up. While Rachel, Laurids, Jessica, Colin and I used the fast pass for Expedition Everest, Yael got a fast pass for the Kilimanjaro Safaris. Everest was probably one of the best rides I've ever gone on.  Laurids made a movie but you can get a good idea by watching this video on You Tube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g_ABgBTSMm8: We ate our lunches and then went on the Pangani Forest Exploration Trail where we saw some hippos, gorillas and other exotic animals. Then, we boarded the Kilimanjaro Safaris.  It is always a fun ride especially seeing the giraffes, rhinos and lion. Rachel, Laurids, Yael and I decided to wait for the parade while Jessica and Colin took the train to Rafiki's Planet Watch and then went on to see the Festival of the Lion King.  Unfortunately, another afternoon thunderstorm cancelled the parade but we had fun sharing the experience.  We decided to grab some dinner from Publix (Barbecue chicken with all the fixin's).  When we got back to the timeshare we chilled for an hour before eating. Dinner conversation was lively and we planned for tomorrow's attack on Disney Studios.  I'll try to post some pictures in a later post since I am off to bed exhausted.
