Disney World: Day Three

On Sunday we got up and headed to the Animal Kingdom, and the first thing we did was go on the Safari. Kate absolutely loved seeing all the animals, especially the elephants and rafs (giraffes). We also saw the Lion King live show (lots of dancing and music, so of course Kate loved that!) and then we did some rides (like the triceratops ride) in Dinoland. It was such an incredibly hot day, though; holy cow! Ninety-three degrees or something. Oh well, we certainly didn't mind; we were having too much fun!

Then we went to Epcot for dinner at France. Kate met Marie, the white cat from Aristocats, beforehand, and we had such a delicious dinner at the restaurant. We also got on the ride in Norway, and Kate is such a brave little soul; even though it was dark and there was "thunder/lightning", it didn't phase her in the least. Then we went back to Port Orleans and got our luggage before going to our new hotel, the Marriott (I had to stay there for my conference; it was very nice, but I would have much rather stayed at Port Orleans! For that matter, I would rather have skipped the conference altogether and just kept going to Disney, but I don't think they'd pay me for that, ha!)

She loved this ride; she kept saying "Up, down, up, down."

I love all the creative flowers and plants in "England"
