Disney World Part 2!

This is what Kase looked like after day 1 at Disney. He slept pretty good that night.



On Day 2 we work up early and went to The Animal Kingdom Park. It was so much fun! We headed straight to the safari ride hoping to see alot of animals out in the morning. Unfortunately we didn't get to see the elephant herd and the silly lion was asleep. All I could see was a bunch of hair on top of a rock. lol We did get really lucky and saw a couple giraffes walking really close to the truck.

After the safari we took the train out to Rafiki's planet watch and saw Rafiki himself. Kase was scared of the big monkey. Oh well.




After all that Kase said that he really wanted to see Mickey again so we headed to Camp Minnie Mickey to visit. We stood in a pretty long line to see Mickey but were able to visit with both Goofy and Donald pretty quickly. All those pictures were on Disney photo pass so once I get that CD I'll post some more of those cute pictures with the characters.

After nap time we decided to go back to the Animal Kingdom lodge for a wonderful dinner at Jiko. That is a great restraunt! We ate there a few years back when Chris and I went to Disney and decided we liked it so much we had to eat there again! 2 thumbs up for sure.

The next day we visited both Hollywood Studios (in the morning) and EPCOT. We thought we would only do 1/2 day at Hollywood Studios, becusae according to Disney.com they had all of the Playhouse Disney things shut down for the redeisgn to Disney Jr. We actually talked about heading to Magic Kingdom for another day instead but decided oh why not we'll see what they have for the kiddos. We are SO glad that we decided to go any way and actually needed alot more time then what we had. Disney had the makeover compelted early and were doing Test Audiences for the Disney Jr. Live on stage. So we made it in to one of the first shows. Then after the little Einstiens made an appearence. Kase was in heaven. He got big kisses from both Annie and Leo.








The longest line we waited in all week was to see Woody and Buzz. Who would have thought but Kase kept asking where were Woody and Buzz so we had to see. At least the area that we had to wait in was pretty entertaining.












After a fun day at Hollywood Studio, we left headed back to the hotel for a nap then headed to EPCOT. We at a great dinner at Rose and Crown pub. We had a couple beers and Kase at meaty macaroni. He really enjoyed that meal. I really need to actually figure out how to make that for him at him. We also rode a few rides and then found a place to watch the fireworks show. The show at EPCOT is pretty impressive.

This is the view of the castle at Magic Kingdom from our hotel. Sorry the picture quailty is so bad but it was AMAZING at night. You could even sit on the beach at the hotel and watch the fireworks.

What a little trooper that he made it that late into the evening! :)

We won't tell Gabriel that Kase got to meet Buzz and Woody. I think he'd cry that he missed out.

Oh...and here is what I could find on that recipe. This is the description from the menu if it helps you any:

Meaty Macaroni - Ground Turkey with Marinara Sauce and topped with Mozzarella served with Veggies and Fruit Salad
