Day 7

Up again at 5:45am - we had an early breakfast at Animal Kingdom...Donalds Safari Breakfast at Tusker house... we were ready early so the kids counted there daily Disney Dollars :)

Then we headed over to the bus stop about 7:10a - we got on a bus quickly of course and had to wait until about 7:45a to get into AK - which didn't even open until 9am - but with reservations, it was good! we got a good pic of us with no one in it...although my lense started to fog with all the mosture ;) and mckinlee was excited to get her VERY own pic with the tree of life, which she claims is her favorite... Then Breakfast with Friends!! FINALLY ...Mickey Mouse :) Tanner was excited although they are in such a rush...mickey was like HURRY up already - you could tell my the hand signs!! *giggle*
And Donald, who used to be Tanners Favorite, but he wasn't as into him as I thought...still fun though! he sit shake his tail feathers in the small little parade through the resturant :)
After Breakfast the ropes brought the regular folk inside..and STRAIGHT to the Safari...we were going to do it, but with the people we decide not to since we did do it the other day! and off we went to Expidetion Everest since McKinlee decided she LOVED it..well the like was already super long and the line to get fast passes JUST as long...since we planned on this a shorter day we decided against it!! we hit Dinoland for a bit - riding the Triceratop ride like 4 times in a row!! They tried to tell Chris McKinlee couldn't ride the Privalwheel, but we had rode it before so he took tanner and I went to ride with mckinlee and fought them a bit since she *IS* tall enough! here they are on the ground, while we are riding :)we headed over for the first showing of Nemo..it was a super cool show!! Chris wasn't to excited to go, but I think he liked it a bit!! Definatly glad we didn't miss it!!
I had read that this ice cream place had cool souviner cups with the ice cream...so we went to check it out...well I had the wrong place or they don't do it anymore - but we did get some shakes :) and got to see more friends...Baloo and King Louie
AND Lilo and Stitch
After this we head out...we were tired and wanting to go to Hollywood Studios for the Fantasmic show tonight...On our way out the guy was 'helping' mckinlee...all the way to the ground...and the drama is ON...she cried forever!! here we are waiting for the bus she was in full melt down...and mad that after 5 mins of comforting her I finally started laughing...it wasn't even THAT bad...that made her even madder!!!Tanner tried to comfort her...we had drama the whole bus ride home, so we said that she must nap too - and no swimming...OF course after our 2 hr nap she was all better and it was OK to go to the pool for a bit! so we did...and we ate and Tanner played some!
After our rest and relaxing time at the pool we decide to head over to DHS...where we want to check out some stuff and see Fantasmic...but we find most shows and sightings are over at 5p - and it was about 6p so we get Passes to Start Tours and go to Eat at...
which Tanner has said was his favorite, it isn't exactly like the movie, but did have games...we played some and Chris won a pink power ranger...although most everything else was buried...we tried some but couldn't get it!! So we went back to ride Star tours...pretty cool the kids liked it!! and chris liked all the stuff to see...
and light sabors were a must after this too *hehe*
I had realized that Tanner could ride the Tower of Terror, so I had been pumping him up...we got fast passes and wondered a bit, then back to ride...
not a super great pic...we are the bottom 4 on the left :)

We went to the Great Movie ride and we played at the Chinese theater for a minute while Chris smoked...Mckinlee was so excited to see the Wizard of Oz in the GMR...

the park closed at 10 - but they had 2 fantasmic shows and we decided with the nap we could do the 10:30 one...and i will say this was a MUST for me as I haven't seen it for one reason or another my previous trips and I have heard SUCH good things and I will say it did not disappoint!! Disney can really go above and beyond with everything..and I love the story behind it! the kids were super intregued with it...after that we headed back to the hotel and in bed...we planned our day tomorrow to see the shows and all the characters we missed today!! then we watched Fay and the predictions...we were lucky - no rain today!!
