Disney Day Two

Our second day at Disney started with a Character Breakfast at Animal Kingdom: Donald Duck Breakfast at the Tusker House. We had a good buffet breakfast and got to meet Donald Duck, Mickey Mouse, Daisy Duck, and Goofy. Hadley was a little shy at first and didn't want to give Donald a hug or take a picture, but as soon as Mickey Mouse came by she was into the whole thing! She was very excited to meet Daisy and after Daisy left she said, "Mommy, she liked my shirt!" (Daisy was on her shirt) Then came time for Goofy..Hadley was fine seeing him across the room but as he got closer she got a little scared, he was very tall. So she got his autograph but insisted Mommy take the picture with her!


After all the characters made it around they played music and danced..Hadley didn't want to get involved so we headed out.
One amazing thing about these breakfasts is that you are at the parks before they open. Our goal for the morning was to get to the Kilimanjaro Safari before the line got too long. We were right at the entrance of the ride and had to wait until the park officially opened (about 5 minutes). As time got closer the guy told all of us to look behind us and a HUGE crowd of people were walking over the bridge! Since we were there waiting, once they took the rope down we were able to walk right onto the Safari ride..otherwise we would have had a long wait!
The Safari ride was great, the animals are free roaming so you got to see them up close..rhinos, hippos, lions, elephants. The only animal Hadley wanted to see that we didn't was the giraffe.

We also rode a few rides in Dinoland and saw the It's Tough to Be a Bug show..hint to parents with young kids..have them sit on your lap! the show has it feel like bugs are crawling on you and at one point a fake bee stinger comes out the back of the chair..even though we knew this it still made us jump. Hadley was too scared to keep the 3D glasses on. Me and Jason both liked the show!
As we made our way through Animal Kingdom we were able to meet Minnie Mouse since she wasn't at the breakfast and then we met Pooh, Eorye, Tigger and Piglet!




After Animal Kingdom we headed to get ready for the Alice in Wonderland Tea Party at the Grand Floridian. This was all Hadley could talk about for the longest time! She was all dressed up as Alice and danced and played with a little girl named Molly she met in the waiting area. We went in and they had this entire table set up for a tea party. We left her in there and headed to have our own lunch (very nice to have a mommy and daddy lunch alone!)We went to pick her up and she was talking like crazy about all they did and was very sweaty from all the activities!! It was definitely worth every penny!!


Next we were off to Epcot. We knew Hadley wouldn't have the greatest time there so we only planned a couple hours before our dinner. She liked the Nemo ride and the Turtle Talk with Crush. They had a great aquarium inside too.

Next we strolled through the France part of Epcot and headed to dinner at the Captain's Grille at the Yacht Club.
