We rode the kid-friendly rides and went to Turtle Talk with Crush (which was great!). Daddy and Olivia played some of the games after we rode Mission Space:
And played in the shark's mouth after the Little Nemo ride:
Poor Paige was fed up with all the excitement:
By this point, it was close to our dinner reservation at Chef Mickey's. We hopped on the monorail and rode to the Contemporary. Olivia was THRILLED to meet the Fab 5 and get their autographs:
I think this next picture sums up what Paige thought about the characters:
Ha!
We had planned to go back to Epcot, but ended up making it an early night at the hotel. We were exhausted!
The next morning, I took some pictures of the girls at the hotel on our way to breakfast:
It was so humid, my lens kept getting foggy, but they're still cute:
They're wearing the zebra Minnie shirts I made them, because we were headed to Animal Kingdom! Olivia was really excited when we told her about the safari ride.
First thing we hit was It's a Bug's Life. Loving her 3D glasses:
Then Papaw, Daddy, and I rode Expedition Everest while Olivia had an ice cream break!
We were headed to our lunch reservation, when we stopped in at a bird show. Paige LOVED it:
We had reservations at Tusker House, which is a character meal with Donald, Daisy, Goofy, and Mickey.
Paige was still terrified of the characters:
Unfortunately, it started raining pretty hard right after our lunch. We headed over to the Safari ride and managed to see quite a few animals.
It was still raining, so we headed to Festival of the Lion King, which is ranked as one of the best shows at Disney. It was great! The girls loved it:
The rain was over after the show, but Animal Kingdom closes at 5:00, so we only had time for a quick picture before heading out:
We went back to the hotel and rested and then rode the fairy from our hotel to Downtown Disney. It was fun to walk around and we spent some time in World of Disney (which is a HUGE store with only Disney merchandise), but it was VERY crowded. The biggest crowd we had seen all week! So we headed back to rest for our long road trip the next day. So sad to leave Disney, but what a great trip!
Everyone was feeling low when we started our drive the next day. About an hour after we left, Michael suggested stopping at a beach for the night. Who am I to argue, right? I got online and found a hotel available, so we detoured to Jekyll Island, GA. It worked out well- because of the location, we could make it home the next day in around 6.5 hours and so could Mamaw and Papaw.
After the terror of the characters, Paige LOVED the beach:
Olivia was pretty excited, too:
We had a hard time keeping the sand out of Paige's mouth! Olivia was working on a sand castle and she crawled over and tried standing on her back:
Unfortunately, right after the sun went down, the bugs came out in full force! We were getting eaten alive, so we headed to the pool and swam for a little while before eating dinner. Great way to end the trip!
I was really worried about Paige in the car, but she actually did really well. I had to sit in the back with her, but as long as I kept her entertained, the crying was kept to a minimum. The consensus is, we love Disney and Olivia is already asking to go back! However, Paige will be quite a bit older before we make the trip again, ha!
