Today was supposed to be Typhoon Lagoon (which we planned to pay for out of pocket), but Casey choose Animal Kingdom (after passing it up the day before) so we saved our money, and off we went. We were surprised to see Br'er Rabbit outside—he was one of Casey's favorites, especially after riding Splash Mountain the day before.
We headed straight to the Kilimanjaro Safari to get fast passes and then walked down to see the Festival of the Lion King show. This will be a repeat performance for me on future trips, I was very impressed.
We walked the Pangani Forest Exploration Trail where there were some great animals to view. Then we rode the Kilimanjaro Safari—this is another highlight. The animals are so close to the vehicle, and they make it exciting for younger riders by playing up the scenario that there are poachers in the area, and you are on the hunt!
We spent the afternoon at our resort waiting out a thunderstorm. It was a welcome relief from the heat and we got to relax before our big night. We headed to Magic Kingdom and took the water taxi to Fort Wilderness Resort & Campgrounds. We had reservations for Mickey's Backyard BBQ. What a great night of food and entertainment!
We caught the water taxi back to Magic Kingdom just in time to catch the SpectroMagic parade. The floats are all lit up, even the characters walking in the parade have lights in their costumes - the best parade in Disney World by far. THe crowds were intense afterwards, but we stuck around to wait for the Wishes Nighttime Spectacular fireworks display. Again - by far the best in the World!
