Florida Vacation Day 3--Animal Kingdom

Day three found us visiting Disney's Animal Kingdom, Papa's favorite park.  Morgan was excited to see all the animals at the park!

Morgan was so helpful to Papa, who had hurt his knee and foot right before the trip.

Reading the map and deciding where to go next.

I have never seen a deer do this before?!

The Festival of the Lion King show....it was amazing, and Morgan got to participate and was the only kid to get a high-five from Timon!

Morgan was so brave and rode Expedition Everest as her first true roller coaster.  You can look at the picture below and decide if she conquered it or not :)

Morgan had such a great day at Animal Kingdom.  It was a slightly shorter day, which was nice after two full days of going strong.  We went back to the condo and had Cici's pizza for dinner, one of Morgan's favorite places to eat.

Florida Vacation Day 2--Disney's Magic Kingdom

Ah the moment had arrived.  It was time to go to the Magic Kingdom and experience the magic of Disney through our child's eyes.  I couldn't wait.  I was so excited for her, and she was super excited herself!  (I apologize that some of the pictures are sideways....I have tried to figure out how to rotate them but blogger won't let me do it!)

All dressed up, autograph book in hand, ready to go!

She's got the magic ticket!
