We started off very early because we had breakfast reservations at 8:15 at the Tusker House restaurant in Animal Kingdom. It was a yummy breakfast and we got to see Donald Duck, Mickey, Goofy, and Daisy while were eating. This was Bailey's first experience with these characters and she wasn't a fan. She's not in most of the pictures because she was scared.
Before breakfast, Ryan had picked up Fast Passes for the Safari ride, so after breakfast we headed to ride it. We enjoyed it and actually got to see a lot of animals. We then boarded the train to the Rafiki's Planet Watch area mainly because the girls wanted to meet Pocahontas. While we were in that area, they also got to touch a snake and pet some animals.
We then headed to the Nemo Musical, which will all enjoyed and then we let the girls play in Dino Land and Ryan and I took turns riding Expedition Everest. We had eaten such a big lunch we decided to just use a few snack credits from our meal plan to hold us over for dinner. We then headed to watch the Lion King show. At that point we decided we had seen all of Animal Kingdom that we wanted to see. It was really too late for naps so we decided to head to Downtown Disney for a little while.
We went to the bus station to find the bus to Downtown Disney and found out that there wasn't a direct bus. I asked a bus driver how to get to Downtown Disney and he told us to go to Saratoga Springs resort and we could walk to Downtown Disney from there. On the bus we ran into a sorority sister of mine at Auburn (small world) and she told us we could actually take a boat there. We decided to try that and after getting lost at the resort just a little bit, we finally found the boat and rode to Downtown Disney.
The main thing the girls wanted to do was to spend some of their birthday money that they got from their aunts. They both choose the same Minnie Mouse. We looked around at the stores and then found out that we could use our meal plan at Downtown Disney so we found a quick service spot and had dinner.
That night we wanted to go the the Electrical Parade at the Magic Kingdom which started at 7:00. At 6:00 we headed to the bus station to find the bus to the Magic Kingdom. For the 2nd time in the same day, the buses didn't go directly where we wanted to go. The bus driver for our hotel really wanted to help us out so he called up to the bus that went to the wilderness lodge and had him wait for us at the next Downtown Disney stop. We then hopped on the Wilderness Lodge bus. At the wilderness lodge we had to then wait for the Magic Kingdom bus. Once we finally got to the Magic Kingdom it was 7:05. We decided to go ahead and go in and try to see the parade because it was only offered on 2 nights. We rushed in and were able to see most of the parade. After the parade we left and headed to bed!
