Expedition Everest - 54/365

Today was our first park day.
Jim, Reagan and I headed over to the Animal Kingdom Park to do a character breakfast at Tusker House. Donald Duck is the main character, but Mickey, Goofy and Daisy were all there as well! It was a wonderful buffet and we had a blast. The characters were so great.
After breakfast, we met Matt, Nikki and the kids over at the safari for our first attraction. We all loved it and most all the animals made an appearance for us! After that we went over to Expedition Everest. This is one of our favorites in the Animal Kingdom. It's a huge coaster, while not that intense, it's just super fun. We all loved it and rode it multiple times!
By the end of the day we took in almost every attraction at Animal Kingdom, except for It's a Bugs Life, Khali River Rapids (which Jim and I NEVER do) the Wildlife Trail, and Rafiki's Planet Watch. It was a GREAT day, we even stopped to have a drink at Jim and I's favorite, Dawa Bar. The kids were great and never gave anyone a problem. The only problem all day, was I lost my photopass lanyard. Luckily, I had taken a picture of the numbers on the back so it was easy to replace. The rest of the crew finished up an attraction while I headed to the front to get it replaced. We ended the day back at Expedition Everest, which at that point was a walk on. YAY!
After doing an open to close day at Animal Kingdom (which was open till 8pm, very unusual) we were all starving so we had dinner at the Rainforest Cafe to close our day. We were seated by some animitronic gorillas, which scared poor Ally through the whole dinner.  We felt so bad. She had had enough that she didn't even get to enjoy the chocolate volcano, poor thing. Reagan was so pooped that she actually FELL ASLEEP sitting at the table with a french fry and a hunk of grilled cheese in her hand! The sign of a perfect day!
The photo of the day is Everest, since it's where we spent most of the day!
