4th Day at Walt Disney World - Animal Kingdom

Thursday we spent the day at Animal Kingdom.  I've been to Disney World many times, but this was my first time to visit Animal Kingdom. 
 
A pic of the kids waiting for the bus in their Mickey and Minnie safari outfits.
 
First up was the "Kilimanjaro Safari".  A family selfie on the Jeep. 
 
Okapis. 
 
Bongos. 
 
Crocodiles.

Giraffes. 
 
Elephants. 
 
Rhinos. 
 
Lions. 
 
Zebras. 
 
Hanging out with a gorilla. 
 
The "Festival of the Lion King" was probably our favorite thing at Animal Kingdom.  It was a Broadway-Cirque du Soleil type 30 minute show.   

The "Monkey" acrobats were amazing! 
 
There was a fire juggler.  The fire scared Annabelle, so she buried her head during this act. 
 
The ballet "birds" were awesome! 
 
Caden checking out bats.

The kids on elephant statues over in Rafiki's Planet Watch.
 
Annabelle wanted a picture with Chip and Dale.
 
They had a petting zoo area over in Rafiki's Planet Watch.  The animals were caged inside the enclosed area.  However, they did roam out of the enclosed areas at times.  One goat came under the ropes right toward Annabelle.  Poor girl was terrified and went running.  Mommy and Annabelle watching the goats before she was "chased".
 
It rained for about 10 minutes in the afternoon.  We ducked into a store and didn't get wet at all.  It was enough rain to clear the park, which was really nice.  The one roller coaster in the park was Expedition Everest.  Annabelle was not tall enough to ride, but I tried to talk Caden in to riding with me earlier in the day.  However, after the rain the line dropped down under 10 minutes. so I decided to ride alone.  I'm so glad I did; it was really fun.  And I'm glad Caden decided not to ride because it might have been a little much for him.  A selfie with Expedition Everest behind us.
 
We finished the day with dinner at Rainforest Café.  Unfortunately, I forgot to take any pictures at dinner.
