Disney World - Day 4

Animal Kingdom

Next Park was the Animal Kingdom and finally the day Kristin could dive the nuts to Chip and Dale that she had carried in her pocket for days. It had now become a little colder and the start of the coldest January in years.

We started the day at the Kilimanjaro Safari, a little cold but we managed








WE FOUND THEM!!!






Lunch at Pizzafari



Festival of the Lion King







Then we started to meet all the Characters.

New Years Eve

After arriving back t the hotel for a little relaxation, and a short time of shooting on the hotel property, Aunt Dutchy and Uncle John came to visit on their way to their "winter home" in Florida.

There was a little fish pond on the property and I could not resist shooting a few photos.

It is also a very popular venue for weddings, a wedding every night we were staying at the hotel.

Not sure about the taste

After this little party in the room we headed back to Epcot. It was very crowded and we picked our spot for the fireworks and waited for it to start. It was incredible as always and shortly after it was over we and the other million of guests headed home. Thankfully we were lucky that very few were riding on the same monorail as we, so we arrived home at the hotel before 1 a.m.

Disney World - Day 3

New Years Eve in Epcot

As we did 10 years earlier, we spent New Years Eve in Epcot. It was another nice day and a nice change from Pa.

On the bus they told us that Magic Kingdom has been full since about 10 a.m and nobody else would be let in that day.

We had made lunch reservation in Italy and took the boat over the lake
