Disney World Animal Kingdom!!!

Well, I have not been looking forward to doing this post. We went to Disney World in May! There are so many great pictures that we have it is hard to choose which to post. I was a bit worried about going with Ellie being so young. She ended up having a total BLAST!! We stayed at two resorts because Nate had a conference at one and we wanted to check out another.

First we stayed at the Animal Kingdom Lodge. WOW was it nice. We had a safari view room so the animals were right outside our balcony.



Elyse wanted to spend every waking moment out on the balcony yelling at the animals! We had breakfast and snacks out there every day!



The resort itself was pretty nice. There was lots to look at and do.

The lobby was pretty as well!

The Animal Kingdom Park was nice as well! It made us realize how nice our zoo in St. Louis is...and it is free. I only wish we would have went to the Asia area so we could have sen a panda. We ended up going to the Africa area to take the safari ride. We did enjoy the ride so it was well worth it!! Here is the family in front of the tree of life at the Animal Kingdom.

Ellie had her first encounter with the Disney Characters at the Animal Kingdom. She wasn't to sure at first but ended up liking them quite a bit. Chip and Dale were two of her favorites of the day. But it was Mickey Mouse who got the KISS!!
