Disney: Day 4

We spent our last day of park-hopping at Animal Kingdom (where Jason once worked!). Aaron, Jason and I raced to Everest to ride our one "big-kid" ride of the trip. Then we went on the safari ride and watched The Lion King show. We spent most of our day in the playground in DinoLand.

Anne Parks just loved this bird. She followed him around for a while and told me that she was going to call him "little fella".

After playing all day, everyone was pretty worn out. We boarded the monorail and just rode while the girls slept.

Even Aunt Jen took a nap.

Our next stop was the Contemporary Hotel for dinner with Chef Mickey. The girls slept for a while after we'd reached our destination. They were quite a sight!

Anne Parks decided to wear her Snow White dress for dinner. She thought it would be fun to eat an apple just like Snow White. Minnie saw her and came running over trying to get her to stop. She had to explain to Minnie that her apple was not poisoned. Minnie was relieved!

After dinner, we made our last trip to the Magic Kingdom for the fireworks.

Anne Parks found a princess outfit that she didn't already have.

The castle was lovely, and so were the fireworks. We saw Tinkerbell fly across the sky and the fireworks were set to holiday music. In the middle of the show, Anne Parks leaned over to me and said, "Mama, this music is instrumental." She was right - very observant! (We'd talked about that word a few weeks earlier when she asked me why there wasn't singing on some of the Christmas songs we heard.) Goodbye, Disney World!

See ya real soon! (I hope.)
