Wednesday was originally planned to be our travel day to Georgia. Instead, we took advantage of the extra day we added to our trip and went to Animal Kingdom. It was the first day
all six of us went to a park together since Saturday. I'm so glad George was healthy since this park is right up his alley. We had a really nice day.
Today's shirt was "Goofy was here".

We had a reservation at the Tusker House for lunch on Monday but had to cancel it. We weren't able to get another reservation but we got into breakfast by walking up. It was Donald's Safari breakfast. Joe and I enjoyed having a hot breakfast and we all enjoyed the characters.
 |
| On our way into breakfast, we got a family picture with Donald Duck. |
 |
| Hi Goofy! |
 |
| Goofy is Joe's favorite |

We also enjoyed the Bug's Life 4D show. Andy wasn't so sure about this one, he didn't like the giant spiders. I thought it was a hoot! You get "sprayed" in the face with bug spray, "stung" by a hornet and ants run underneath your seat. People are hootin' and hollering the whole time. Totally hilarious.
Zack and I rode the Dinosaur ride.

 |
| Zack and I are in the back row on the right. |
 |
| Joe and Zack rode the Primeval Whirl. We didn't want to chance all that spinning around with George's stomach. |
We saw the 40 min. "Finding Nemo" musical, it was awesome. It reminded me of the "Lion King" Broadway show. Then we caught the end of the afternoon parade on our way out.

We went swimming on Wednesday night and brought dinner to the pool to eat. The kids thought it was cool to be swimming the night before Thanksgiving.
