Next, it was off to catch the ferry to the Animal Kingdom
The Animal Kingdom
Everyone had been to the AK by then, but Jason and I. Here's us entering for the very first time... | The last dry picture of the day!!! |

Kali River Rapids! Proof that Disney can take any old ordinary ride, and make it a hundred times better! Oh, what a trip!!! Here's the very beginning of the ride, heading up the ramp into the mist and the unknown! | The lot of us soaking, dripping, squelching wet from the ride!!! |
But you know what? That was ok, bec minutes after we got off the ride, it POURED!!! We escaped near death as lightning touched down but 10 feet away from us (!), and safely boarded the bus to our last stop - the Studios...
The Disney-MGM Studios
The most amazing adrenalin rush in the whole world??? The new Rockin' Roller Coaster!!! You get shot from 0 to 60 mph in less than 3 seconds, all while one of 6 Aerosmith songs blare in the background (our first song - Sweet Emotion!)! And we got to preview the ride weeks before it opened!
Pic coming! | |||
John outside the ride | The ride breaks down while we wait anxiously to ride!! | The premise of the ride - Steven and the boys invite you to their concert and send a limo to speed you thru Hollywood to get there! | The coaster lining up for launch! |
Here's our ridiculously expensive, but oh-so-worth-it ride photo!
Dinner time! I finally get to eat at The 50's Primetime Cafe, where the wait staff force-feed, berate and abuse you all through your meal - FUN!!!!
It's still pouring of course... Andy (while waiting to be seated) improvises to stay dry with a poncho-wrapper hat! | Kevin gets in trouble even before we get seated, and has to help bus our table! | We finally get to sit down! Coloring like good lil chillun.. |
What happens to you when you ask the waitress to take a picture at the Primetime! | And Crystal gets christened 'Hoover' for cleaning her plate first and gets first dibs at the dessert menu! |
Pic coming! | ||
Oooh, but then, out came the silly string Michelle had been carting around all day, and all hell breaks lose!! | What silly string looks like coming straight at ya! | Michelle get punished in front of the whole restaurant! |
And finally, to end our day - the most amazing show ever - Fantasmic!
Pics soon......
