Day 3

We had set the alarm for about 7:30a - we don't wanna rush - and figure that will give us a good start! well I beat the alarm up - I had heard Elaine and was to excited to go back to sleep :) It was DISNEY day! Get up and ready and head to our Hotel - we needed PARK Tickets! :) since there was a place to buy tix, Larry go ahead and gets them there, so that they don't have to wait in the line at Disney! :) Since we are staying on site, we get a parking pass...YAYYY Larry and Elaine can park for FREE!! so we ride with them over...since our room isn't ready...and then the tram to the park...

we look at the Tree of Life for a second and then off to Dinoland...Mamaw and Papaw take the kids to ride the tricertop ride, while Chris smokes and I get Fast Passes to Dinosaur...then McKinlee and I ride the primawhirl - or whatever its called!! I couldn't believe the height was 48"...so Mamaw and Papaw stayed with Tanner... ..then we caught up with them in line for Goofy ;) and off to ride Dinosaur..
I held Tanner tight and just kept saying they are just robots, he actually said he liked it afterwards, so that is good!! Even the big Tyranasaurus didn't bother him much!! ( the girls and tanner in the 1st row, Chris and Larry in the 2nd)
After wards we get Fast Passes for Expedition Everest...but they aren't for 5 hours away..we are hungry and Mamaw wants Rainforest cafe...which is just at the entrance...sounds good to us...so we go! Look at the cool mini Hot dogs Tanner got...last time at the RF cafe..(tanners only time) he wasn't to sure of the loud animals and thunder storm...he wasn't as scared this time but still really leary of those monkeys which we sat by again! After lunch we headed to camp Minnie Mickey to catch the Festival of the Lion King
while waiting Tanner climbs the hill
about to start....
and all the awesome cast members...
we get FPs for the Kilimanjaro Safari and then catch the train to Rafikis Planet watch...I wasn't as impressed with this, but maybe because of the late day most of the characters were gone...and the petting zoo wasn't so great... we caught the safari...we got to see several animals...including a giraffe, alpaka, flamingos, hippos, lions, ostrich and more...
On the way to Expedition Everest we pass some drums - and a cool spot of the tree...so of course a pic!! these are MUCH better then the ones upfront...
Then off to EE...in which McKinlee was having a time, she was really scared...but the mean mommy was making her!! BUT I also KNOW that she would LOVE it!! and she DID...so Im not THAT mean!! ;)

the Mountain
OH NO...what happened to the track...we must go BACKWARD...
the pic of Me and Mckinlee 1st row - mamaw papaw 2nd row :D
McKinlee and Chris 2nd Row, me and Larry back row!

Then we decide to have Ice Cream...and you HAVE to have a pic with your ice cream!!

Any MAN do those Mickeys melt!! here is Tanners after like 3 mins..

and Back to Goofy, because now Pluto is their! ;)
No line at the Triceratop ride so Daddy and Papaw take the kids...
Then we decide we have done it all and we still must check in our room!! we called and got our room number, but our suit cases and stuff were still in the van...so we get to our room and check it all out..
Walk around a bit and head to the Cafe Rix...where we have a HUGE fight between Chris and I ...since it was our 1st Dining Plan meal we were confused...and not a good combination...crazy kids, long day, confusion...YIKES...we did get through it and finished checking out the hotel..quite nice if I can say so myself!
We walked Mamaw and Papaw to their car and said our goodbye, we would be seeing them at Magic Kingdom, but we had plans to be there early at 8am and Papaw wanted to sleep in some!! we settled in and got to bed a little early to get our well deserved rest!
