A Dream is a Wish Your Heart Makes

It was definitely warmer today and we all enjoyed the sunshine.  It doesn't have to be hot for all of us to have a great time at Disney World, but it was an added bonus.  We started the morning at Animal Kingdom.  The first stop was Dinoland and the Dinosaur ride.  Cam and I watched Jurassic Park Thursday night which made the Dinosaur ride even better.  After that Cam picked out a great shirt.  It had a T-Rex on it and it said, "If you're happy and you know it, clap your . . . oh!"

They rode Primeval Whirl before heading over to Expedition Everest.  Everyone had a great time on that.  We used our second fast pass to ride the Safari.  We saw a lot of animals including one of my favorites - the Okapi.  The four of them rode the Kali River Rapids ride.  Cam even talked Doug into going a second time.  From there we headed back to the Boardwalk so everyone could change.  The snacks in the lounge were delicious and we enjoyed them before heading to Hollywood Studios.

One of the big highlights of the day was running into King Louie and Baloo while we were in Animal Kingdom.  Cameron and my Dad play with his King Louie all of the time, so we had to get pictures.  Brett and Meg even joined Cam.  Meg said she was scarred for life as she had never been hugged so much.  Dad enjoyed the picture we sent back and Cam and I could talk of nothing else.

Since we did not get to ride everything we wanted yesterday we thought we would try this afternoon.  Rock N Roller Coaster was closed, but we make it on the Great Movie Ride, Star Tours and Muppet 3-D Vision.  Everyone wanted to check out the shops including the Villains in Vogue store.  Brett found an awesome Villains frame and a print to fit inside.  Cam was happy with his bell from the Tower of Terror.

We walked back to the hotel once again to drop off our purchases and then went to EPCOT.  Meg and Brett wanted a pretzel from Germany once again and Cam was in the mood for a funnel cake.  We enjoyed the treats while we walked to the other end of the park to catch the monorail to Magic Kingdom  We had decided yesterday that we wanted to make it to all four parks in one day.  I am not sure that we have ever accomplished that feat.

Magic Kingdom was crowded when we arrived, but we were able to get on Splash Mountain as it was a cool evening.  By the end of the night Brett, Meg and Cam were also able to ride Space Mountain and Big Thunder Mountain as well.  I enjoyed the Jungle Cruise, Pirates of the Caribbean, the Haunted Mansion and Peter Pan.  We tortured Brett by making him ride Small World.  Before we left we rode Winnie the Pooh and Aladdin's Magic Carpets as well.  Cam was happy about that as Triceratops Spin shut down when we got on it this morning.

We left close to the end of the night at Magic Kingdom and were back in our room at 1:45 a.m.  We were proud of the fact that we made it to all four parks in one day.  We are also glad to be able to sleep in a little bit tomorrow.
