WDW: Day Five

Today we slept in a little because Animal Kingdom didn't open until 9 am.  Clifton went to the front desk before we left to talk to the manager about the craziness going on around our room.  A bunch of guys had been partying until 4 am the two previous nights and we had had enough.  We would have to move rooms in the afternoon, but what a room we were moved into.  A two bedroom suite with an amazing view of the castle!  Too bad Finley was already asleep when we wheeled her home at 9 pm, she could have seen the Electric Water Pageant from our room.

The bus is not a fun way to travel in Disney, but we made do.  We got to Animal Kingdom a bit after rope drop and first rode Dinosaur and Triceratops Spin (twice!)  We met Pooh, Eeyore and Tigger, Finley was disappointed there was no Piglet, but apparently he only resides in the Crystal Palace.  Good thing we had breakfast there.  I rode Everest by myself and met up with Clifton and Finley in Asia.  We saw the tigers and birds there, then walked over to Africa to see the hippos and gorillas. Finley really enjoyed being in charge of the map and pushing the stroller.  We grabbed a quick lunch, then it was time for the Kilamanjaro Safari.  This ride has changed since we last took it, there is no longer a chase or any story, just a plain old safari.  Finley chose to meet Mickey before the Festival of the Lion King.  Finley was falling asleep during the show, so we headed back to change rooms and get her a nap.

We returned to the Magic Kingdom to ride the Magic Carpets, Pirates (twice) and try to ride Big Thunder Mountain, but it was closed.  We grabbed dinner in which Finley had to be forced to eat half a cheeseburger in order to get ice cream.  She was "so full" but yet she managed to devour the ice cream with no issues.  We watched the Castle show and rode Pooh twice before calling it a night.  Finley was fast asleep before we even got on the monorail.
