Animal Kingdom
Part One: The Day of the Photopass
Our first solo day since Universal! We decided to head back to Animal Kingdom, partly because it was Saturday and we figured we’d avoid Epcot F&W on the weekends mostly, and partly because we thought we’d concentrate our MK/Epcot days to when we were at BLT. I know that doesn’t make the most sense with being at an Epcot resort, but it seemed better than bussing from BLT for 5 days
I made Zack stop for a ton of PP today. First on the way in…
Wow, Zack just looks so happy here
I’m sure we hit NRJ again before the line got too crazy. I can’t remember if it was this trip, more likely our December trip… I actually offered to do standby for FOP in the morning. I’m thinking it must have been December, because we spontaneously decided to start at AK one day that trip and got there really early, early enough it should have been under an hour and Zack said no, NRJ was fine. Okkkkk
I don’t have my notes right off so I’m not 100% on what our FPs were. I’m thinking another early Safari, an earlier FOP, and Everest.
I know you’re all really here for my mad photo taking skillz:
Ok, here’s some mediocre animal shots:
We thought it was cat nap time when we got over here…
But as we came around to the other side… Mr Lion decided to grace us with a roar!
So that was really cool, and interesting. I’ve never heard one in real life before!
Then in typical cat fashion…
I'm done with you people.
Oh, are those not the Zebra Domes people always talk about on here?
After we walked the Gorilla trail, since we hadn’t had a chance to do that the other day.
Were these big hippos or pygmy hippos? I love pygmy hippos
And then we headed back to Pandor for our FOP FP. We also spent some more time exploring, it seemed like there were a few less people than when we’d been here earlier in the week. And I drug Zack around for some more PP.
When we finished, I mentioned heading out to Rafiki’s planet watch to Zack.
I love all the bags and cases on the train! Even though apparently I only took this one photo of that.
Oh yes, because it was Dave’s chair!
I actually had a reason I really wanted to go out here… I love goats! I worked with them in high school at our Children’s Zoo, my roommate had them in college, and we had them for the lab I worked in in college. Here’s a photo with our lab goats:
I’m on the left holding Rick. He was my baby. Part of our lab project involved going out to weigh the goats every week to see how they were developing. Rick would jump up on me and lay his head on my chest and stare into my eyes.

That’s not really him. All my pictures are on my computer at home.
After getting my fill of goat petting (I’ve been in withdrawal since college!) we decided we needed a snack before our late lunch ADR, so we stopped at Harambe Market. I had one thing in mind…
@kastoney I got my fancy corn dog! We really liked this! The batter is good but different than your typical corn dog obviously. Zack liked the salad too, but it wasn't my thing.
