Today's travels started later than usual. We didn't wake until 9:30 in the morning. Once we finally got moving, we departed for the Animal Kingdom. The Animal Kingdom is quite large, with a very educational focus.

The real highlights of the Animal Kingdom were the African Safari and the Expedition Everest coaster. The 'Tree of Life' is also quite amazing.





The Safari was a very long ride through large savannahs. Each one was designed specifically for it's inhabitants. I got some great pictures. My best was probably this giraffe:



We also encountered Disney's signature blue-assed monkey. I feel bad for not remembering his name. However, there aren't that many animated blue-assed monkeys, so I'm sure you know what I mean.



We were in line for the Everest ride for most of an hour, but it was worth it. It works both forwards and backwards in addition to the several animations and transitions. It was great. The mountain itself also makes for a great picture.



After we concluded our trip to the Animal Kingdom, we went back to the international section of EPCOT. We explored more of the countries, including the super-creepy Mexican 'River of Time'. It's like 'A Small World', but Mexican. We've got reservations for the Coral Reef restaurant tomorrow.

We ended up having dinner at 'Les Chefs de France'. We ended up getting in without reservations. The food was excellent, as was the service.

It's late now, and we hope to be ready for MGM tomorrow.
