Disney Day 1: Animal Kingdom Lodge

Surprise!!!! We went to Disney World!!! WOW! It was seriously an amazing week of happiness and memories. The next few posts are going to be about our trip from last week.

Day 1 was a travel day, so we didn't actually go to a Disney World Park, but we had a blast exploring our resort area at the Animal Kingdom Lodge.


Waking up at 4:15 for a flight was not so fun, but it was worth it to see all of these amazing animals at our resort. And yes, GIRAFFES! Those were obviously my favorite part! We also saw zebras, gazelle, flamingos, and even our resident ostrich. I didn't get a picture of him... to be honest, he kind of freaked us out a little. Haha.




The day was also perfect for swimming. Animal Kingdom Lodge had a nice large pool. Blake is sometimes hesitant around water, but he loved this place. He especially went wild when he got a swimming vest on and felt more confident. They had a pretty fun kids water slide. I went down the slide first and convinced Blake to come down after me. That was the start of a million slide rides - ok, maybe only 20, but it was still a lot! Blake LOVED the slide!


Later that evening we cleaned up and traveled to a resturant called Chef Mickey! Blake was able to get hus buffet on with some of his favorite pals! This was a hit and really put the week into perspective. Blake was so excited to come in contact with Mickey and his friends!!! He was also wearing a Donald Duck shirt that day, so I think he became Donal Ducks favorite kid, ;)
