It is pretty much an incontrovertible truth that doing everything there is to do in any Disney park in one day is flat impossible. So we were in no way bothered by the fact that the "character breakfast" (Mickey's Safari!) for which we had reservations on Saturday put us back in the Animal Kingdom. The Haleys were a bit slow off the blocks in the morning, so the Greens headed out before us so Zachary and Avery could get their faces painted before breakfast. That meant, of course, that as soon as breakfast was over Sylvie wanted some paint on her face too. I think you'll agree - those Disney face painters do a heck of a job!
Anyhow, the Safari Breakfast was a big hit with the kids, featuring a front-door greeting by Donald Duck and table visits by Daisy Duck, Goofy, and Mickey himself. You'll notice in the slideshow below (if you haven't already noticed in prior photos) that Sylvie's immediate reaction to the appearance of any Disney character was the same every time.
A BIG HUG.
After breakfast we headed back to the Dino-Rama part of Animal Kingdom, where Sylvie had the masterful work you see at right done on her little face. Zachary supervised the work closely.
After yet another ride on the Triceratops facsimilie of the Dumbo ride, we enjoyed another nature walk, this time featuring animals from Asia. Fascinating once again.
We also discovered an excellent way for the kids to burn some serious energy - the Boneyard Playground. If there is a better outdoor playground built on an archeological dig theme out there, I'll want to know about it.
With the kids tiring out and the weather warming up, we decided to return earlyish to the hotel and give the very enticing pool a try. The kids were game, but the sun lasted only about five minutes after we hit the water, and the temperature took a nosedive once that big flaming ball dropped behind the nearest building. Still, we got a few trips down the water slide in before calling it a day.
