Day 11 - Animal Kingdom and Hollywood Studios

Kilimanjaro Safari, Expedition Everest, Primeval Whirl, Kali River Rapids,  Festival of the Lion King, and Finding Nemo:  The Musical, were just a few of the rides and attractions we experienced at Animal Kingdom today.

You could've knocked me over with a feather today when my soon-to-be 14-year-old surprised even herself when she agreed to go on the Expedition Everest roller coaster ride--and enjoyed it!!  And there were plenty of feathers with all the ducks and birds and other winged creatures in the park.  I have been on the safari ride three times now, and have to say that this time, I saw more animals than ever before.

Bev and Joel and I ate at a the Flaming Tree BBQ place in the Animal Kingdom park for lunch, and enjoyed animal as well as people watching all day.  Then we all hopped over to Hollywood Studios around 4:30 for the Indiana Jones show, some supper, and to catch the American Idol Experience finale before doing the Star Tours and the Muppet 3-D movie.  The temperature was a balmy 93 degrees today with only a distant threat of a thunderstorm.  I'm not a big fan of that kind of heat, but trying not to complain after the cold Iowa spring we experienced this year.
