It was an early start this morning to be at Animal Kingdom at rope drop. On our way to our car, Clifton spotted a turkey, Finley had fun following him around the parking lot. We headed straight to Everest when we arrived. Finley is finally tall enough to ride and we were able to ride it three times in a row, including a trip in the front row and one in the back row. Finley selected a moving Yeti Everest pin to add to her collection to commemorate her first ride. We headed over to ride Dinosaur, but were sad to see that the Triceratops Spin was down. We visited with Mickey and Minnie in their new home along the way to Asia. It was back across the park to walk the Jungle Trek, Finley spotted a tiger lounging by the water. After our trek, we took the train to Rafiki's Conservation Station. Finley got a Wilderness Explorer book to complete tasks and collect stickers in, she also met Chip, Dale and Rafiki there. We grabbed a quick lunch, then it was on to ride Everest again and then the safari. Finley kept track of all the animals she spotted in her book and got two more badges to add to her collection. It had been a big morning, so we headed back to the hotel for some pool time and a nap.
We headed over to the Magic Kingdom for the evening. We were able to ride the Teacups, Pirates, Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, Pooh, Goofy's Barnstormer and Aladdin's carpets. We got a lot of rides in before the Main Street Electrical Light Parade and the fireworks. Finley had fun re-enacting her pirates scene from the day before in the Pirates queue.
