Animal Kingdom

For the first time ever, we arrived at a Disney park before it opened. The Animal Kingdom opened at 7 am and we were one of the first families in the park. We had a great time. The pic is from the first row of the Expedition Everest roller coaster. As we were deciding what to do for lunch, the heavens opened up. It poured on us and we ran to the buses. The kids spent the afternoon at Disney Quest while Jen rested and I went to Crossfit. Dinner was at Narcoossee's at the Grand Floridian.

Magic Kingdom

Tuesday was the Magic Kingdom. I had the Fastpass system figured out and we were able to get a lot done before lunch. It rained on us in the afternoon again. We spent the late afternoon at Downtown Disney. The kids enjoyed Disney Qudst, a large arcade, while we enjoyed the bar at the House of Blues. We are at Shula's which is in the Dolphin Hotel. It was our first time to eat there and the steak was amazing. 

Hollywood Studios

On Monday, we spent the day at Hollywood Studios. I had not figured out the online Fastpass System yet, so we had some long lines. We waited about 80 minutes for Toy Story Mania. We ate at Ohana that night and had a great time. 

Arriving at WDW

Yesterday, we drove from Tallahassee to Orlando and arrived a little after lunch. We spent the afternoon at the pool and planned out the rest of the week. 

Dinner was at Boma in the Animal Kingdom Lodge. The picture of the giraffe was taken right behind the lodge. 

From Texas to Tallahassee

Today was a good day for Yelp and a bad day for traffic. Yelp steered us towards two good restaurants. Rebel Dip in Gulfport, MS had good burgers and Sonny's in Tallahassee had good BBQ. 

We needed the good food after being stuck in traffic for hours. An 18 wheeler carrying hazardous materials was involved in an accident on the Atchafalaya bridge. Acid started leaking onto the bridge. The freeway was shut down heading east while crews cleaned up the spill. We were lucky to not be on the bridge yet. The Enclave made it through the median and we detoured.
