Hello from Africa...Disney Style

Well if you have read Monica's blog lately (if not - go there immediately before you come here again) you know that on Saturday we were at the Magic Kingdom. So on Sunday, after a lazy morning at 'home' we went to Disney's Animal Kingdom. Although we had been slightly disappointed with the rides at the M.K., we were blown away with the rides at the A.K. As we arrived later in the day, we didn't have time to go on a Safari - that is for Thursday- we did manage to go on Expedition Everest - amazing, and Dinosaur! - very cool but it made me jump. We also ate Mickey Mouse shaped ice cream treats because it was stinking hot outside and they were cool and refreshing. Unfortunately, as this is the down season, the A.K. closed down at 5 pm so we went back to EPCOT to try and finish the World Showcase. We had to see Italy and some of the other exhibits, after Spaceship Earth of course - we have done this so many times. Of course, because we were in EPCOT it started to rain again. Just out luck. We did not stick around for long.


On Monday - a bright and sunny day we decided to use the Water Park option on our ticket and we went to Typhoon Lagoon. We were both a little apprehensive about it, but it as it turned out we had a blast - literally and figuratively. There is a huge wave pool that can have both bobbing waves, or these really big surf waves. The big waves were sooo fun, provided you were ready for them. Monica almost lost her glasses, but we saved them.- Phew. We also did the Lazy River tube ride around the whole park, and several of the other tube rides. We decided that we only wanted to do tube rides, they were thrilling enough for us. We also got a bit too much sun. No pictures either - the camera did not want to go to a water park. In the evening we went to Medieval Times Dinner and show. It was a lot of fun, and the horses and riders really were amazing. Dinner was eaten entirely without silverware, an interesting experience to say the least. Well, that was our week so far, stay tuned.
