Day 6 - Animal Kingdom and Epcot...in the rain

Today we let the boys sleep in and got a late start to Animal Kingdom. Once we arrived we realized we didn't have our tickets for Cameron or Eric (our room keys are our tickets as well as our meal plan and it is connected to our credit card...amazing masterminds of Disney!). We got to check in with Eric's ID and got paper tickets for the day, though, so we got to go in. We immediately started with a 3-D movie called It's Tough to be a Bug, which scared the heck out of Cameron! After that we headed to Dino-Land, where the boys had a blast playing in a big playground with slides and dino stuff!


After the playground we headed to a flying dinosaur ride for the whole family, we were all so excited to get to ride!

But even after being here a week Carson just can't handle the wait!!! After the kiddie rides Eric took Cameron on the scariest ride of the whole trip, it was called Dinosaur. The top picture is how Carson, Mommy, & Cohen spent our time during the ride...the bottom is Cameron being scared to death (they are the front row on the right side of the ride...Cam is tucked under Eric).








Then we headed for some photo ops in Dino-Land.

Next we headed to Finding Nemo the Musical. It was a really cool show that Mommy enjoyed so much, although Cameron was a little afraid. But, we had great seats and Dory & Marlin had a part where they came out in the audience and were RIGHT in front of us, it was really cool!!!

After Nemo the sky opened up again and down came the rain!!! We headed to the only rides that were still running, one was Rafiki's and we had to take a train to get there. The boys wanted their picture on these elephants but we got in trouble for letting them climb on them! :o)

Animal Kingdom had this pass thing that the boys got to do where they went around and learned about animals and whatnot and the cast members would stamp their passport, it was really cute...this is one of their stamps - in the pouring rain!

Once at Rafiki's we got pictures with Poccahontis, Rafiki, and Jimminy Cricket:


One of the animal guys came out to do a talk and it was soooo funny, he kept asking if there were any QUESTIONS and Cameron would raise his hand and tell some kind of story, but never asked a question. The guy started laughing at the end when Cam would raise his hand:


Then we rode the train back - this is Eric checking out our soggy map!!!


Then we toured some kind of drive through safari, it was really cool - even in the rain.

After the safari we decided to head over to Epcot, we had dinner reservations in Japan at Teppan Edo. The food was sooo yummy, the boys did well. We stayed for Illuminations, but had about 30 minutes to spare so we walked around World Showcase and heard a concert in the distance, so we went to check it out and it was Herman's Hermits!!! It was so cool!!! Anyhow, that was about all of our day. I know I'm leaving something out but I'm trying to type fast because I have to get this posted before my internet time runs out!!! I'll probably post again in a couple of days - once we are back in Dallas...which will be tomorrow night around 11p.m.!!!
