Disney Post 4 of 6: Animal Kingdom

Fun pic the Photopass photographer did :)

Close up of the Tree of Life

First on the list to do at Animal Kingdom was the Kilimanjaro Safari.  Jacen loved it!!!

If you look on the right side you can see the kind of vehicle you ride on the safari!!

Jacen and Daddy waiting to go to Tusker House for Donald's Safari Breakfast.
All of the pics of the breakfast are located in the Character Blog.
It was an awesome experience with yummy food and neat character pics and autographs.

There were also other animals simply to look at :)

View of "Mount Everest"

We also saw Winnie the Pooh, Tigger, and Eeyore and got pics and autographs.
See those pics in the Character Post :)

Waiting for the train over to Rafiki's Planet Watch

Jacen was amazed by Rafiki.  He also got to see Rafiki and get an autograph (See Character Post).

Every water fountain we saw, he wanted to throw money in.  :)

 After discovering the day before that he needs a nap, Jacen took a very long one this day as well.
This kept us from seeing everything he wanted to see.  Maybe next time we go :)

 

We watched an awesome show called Festival of the Lion King.

Mickey's Jingle Jungle Parade

A lot of the parade people stopped to say hi to Jacen :)

The last thing we did at Animal Kingdom was to see Finding Nemo the Musical.
He still didn't like the shark in the Musical either.

Nighttime Pic :)

Disney Post 3 of 6: Epcot

 Sweet pic of Jacen the Photopass photographer got while he was waiting to see Donald Duck.

Goofy and Donald Christmas Decorations made out of bushes!!

After racing to the Character Spot to get great pics with Mickey, Minnie and Pluto (see Character Post), we rode the Nemo ride, looked at the fish and sea creatures, and watched Turtle Talk with Crush.  He didn't like anything scary, so the shark in the Nemo ride was a little traumatic!!!

 

His favorite part of this area, was the play area of course :)

Matching the sea creatures :)

Mommy and Jacen in a shark.  I don't think he knew what we were posing in or he wouldn't have agreed to this right after the Nemo ride and being scared of the shark!!!

Mexican food at Epcot (Mommy's pick of course!!!!)

Gran Fiesta Tour Starring The Three Caballeros boat ride.  He loved it!!!

Boat ride that takes you to different parts of the World Showcase.  We took it because Jacen wanted to ride on boats :)

Model Train in Germany

Exhausted Jacen.  We learned this week, that he still needs his naps even at Disney!!!

Mommy and Jacen :)

Biergarten Restaurant in Germany in the World Showcase.  We had fabulous buffet style German food and fun entertainment.

 

They invited the kids to dance :)  Jacen has on the blue jacket with the red hood.

Jacen is right by the Santa hat in this one.  They were doing some kind of follow the leader thing :)

In German tradition all the kids got a "golden coin".  He was very excited!!

After the fabulous dinner, we went to the Candlelight Processional where a phenomenal choir sang Christmas songs and Gary Sinise read the Christmas story from the Bible. 

 

 

Video of the choir singing!!
