The Kingdoms

Another long but great day.  I like days like these and I wish everyday could be like this.  That's a shocker: I want all my days to feel like busy vacation days.  I'm sure I'm the first person to speak words like that...

Anyway, our day was spent our day at the two kingdoms: Animal and Magic.  We did not get to Animal Kingdom first thing in the morning like we hoped due to some menstrual issues on my part last night at 4am.  Still, we were able to get a lot done and the safari today was the best I've ever been on.  There were so many animals!  In fact, we had to stop multiple times to let the giraffes cross the street.  It was so cool and I absolutely loved it.  Whoever said that the best viewing were soon after the park opened and just before the park closed was incorrect by my experiences.  Every year that's what I've done but I didn't do that this year and I got a viewing better than any of those in the past.  I probably just got lucky.   Those who make recommendations like that tend to do it more than once or twice every few years so they probably know more than I do.

We also had dinner at Animal Kingdom Lodge which was beautiful, delicious, and expensive.  My parents took the bill though so I'm not sure what the final amount was but we are getting tomorrow's expensive meal so that makes me feel better.  They said it was part of our birthday celebration but they've been picking up little things here and there throughout the trip and though I appreciate it immensely that's not their responsibility.  Looking forward to tomorrow's dinner too though.

This post is all over the place indicating how tired I am.  Our evening was spent at Magic Kingdom at Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party.  We got a rough start and my menstrual issues had me feeling down but Disney got the best of me.  They added a new piece to their winter show where they project these coolest images onto the castle.  It blew me away and the fireworks were fantastic too.  I'd go into more but I'm so going to bed instead.
