Mickey's Zoo was Wet

After a day of recovery at the pool, we were ready to get back to Disney World.  This time we went to Animal Kingdom.  Or Mickey's Zoo, as Morgan liked to call it!  There was rain in the forecast, but we pressed on.  We were ready to see the animals!
 Here we go!

While we waited for our fast pass time for the safari, we went on the Pangani Forest Exploration Trail and saw birds, fish and really cool gorillas!
The Kilimanjaro Safari was really neat!  We rode through and saw all kinds of animals.  Of course, it was a big hit with everyone!

 After lunch the first round of rain came.  So we explored the Jungle Treck to see the tigers!  And then we did Expedition Everest while Morgan slept.  That was an awesome roller coaster!
 After It's Tough to be a Bug!  We loved it- Morgan wasn't so sure.
 Finding Nemo-The Musical

When we got out of Nemo, the skies opened up and absolutely poured down rain.  Mom and Dad stayed back with Morgan for awhile and did some other things at Animal Kingdom while Carrie, Bobby, Jeff and I made a mad dash for the buses to head to Hollywood Studios!

After a bus ride, a poncho purchase and a locker rental, we were ready to go!  We were there and going to make the best of it.  Luckily, most of the rides there are inside so we didn't get too miserably wet.  I don't have many pictures here because my camera stayed safe and dry in the locker.  Even with the rain we had so much fun!  With four roller coaster junkies, we headed straight to Rock 'n' Roller Coaster and the Tower of Terror.  By the end of the night we rode both of them twice!  We also hit up the Studio Backlot Tour (kinda lame) and the Star Wars 3-D ride (they loved it, I almost threw up).  We really wanted to ride the Toy Story ride but the wait was 2 hours long!  As we were about to head out, a random lady asked us if we wanted her special fast passes to any ride we wanted.  It was like a gift from God.  We ran straight to Toy Story!  By far my favorite ride of the day!!  It was a game and I didn't come in last!  The four of us had so much fun that night.  I wouldn't have changed anything- even the rain.
 Why are we here?  Are we crazy?
Fun times

So we couldn't decide on dinner.  Nothing sounded good.  But we remembered the Outback across from our hotel and thought we would wait for that.  A good cold beer and yummy warm food.  We had to meet Dad at a resort for him to pick us up.  He dropped us off at Outback just in the nick of time!  I think we were the last customers to order at 10:30 that night.  But we made it!  After walking back to the hotel, I was officially done for the day- and ready to get dry!
