Disney - Animal Kingdom

Animal Kingdom is so different from all the other parks, but we knew that Dylan would really like it.  Me on the other hand, I knew that I wouldn't get to do anything at this park, not even the cool safari ride. There was a lot of waiting for me to do, but it was okay, I knew Dylan would enjoy it.  One thing that I got to do that no one else got to experience was get pooped on by a bird.  Seriously, right on the top of my head. Our friend Glenn tried to help me clean it out with a wipe, but he described it as "really seedy" and it was hard to get out.  We did the best we could given the circumstances but I wanted out of the aviary fast. The park closed at 5pm and even though we didn't have much downtime or long waits, we didn't get to see everything.  We missed one section where the kids could have seen animals up close and personal....oh well.   

At Animal Kingdom, we got to see a lot of different characters without waiting.  Here are a few that we got to see.

And Dylan's all time favorite I do believe, Tigger.  Ever since his cousin Taylor gave him her stuffed Tigger last time we visited, he has fallen in love with Tigger.
The only rain that we had the entire time came while waiting for the parade at Animal Kingdom. Lukily we were near a store with a covered porch area, so we pulled the boys back while the men held the spot. After the rain, it was really hot and steamy, but it was worth the wait. The boys loved the parade.
Now to go home and was this poop out of my hair.

Fun!! You are correct - very few preggo friendly rides there.

Did you take him on the Dinosaur ride?! Hopefully not.

And as for the petting zoo / up close and personal area - we hit that last time (last April) and there were only 5 animals. Definitely not worth it.
