You guys are awesome!!!! 😁😁😁 Thank you so much for following along and for all the love!

When we finished at the playground, we checked the wait time for Test Track, and it was still over an hour. We checked in with Luke and Makayla, and they wanted to do it standby, so we got in the line. At least we were in air conditioning. Our wait was pretty uneventful, with the exception of...

We traveled from AKL to Epcot, and immediately realized it was going to be a busy day with the F&W festival going on. The line of cars to get in was very deep. We patiently waited our turn and then entered to park our car. Our first fastpass window was already on us, and it was for Soarin...

We have never gotten to stay at AKL, but hopefully sometime we are able to do that. I've never the tried The Mara, but we may need to chec it out. We have gone to the gift shop there several times. I agree with how beautiful the resort is. Disney did such a great job with it.

As you can tell, we got slightly photo happy here. In the moment it did feel like we were spending a lot of time here, but definitely created a lot of lasting memories just spending time together. We eventually found ourselves back outside again near the pool area. I'll admit I was...

As you get further away from the resort, there's a lot of red rock formations creating the landscape. Little things you really don't expect to find when coming to Animal Kingdom Lodge. This girl is always so photogenic 😍 So beautiful We made our way back inside, and up to the fourth...

Once we had finished at Boma, and waddled ourselves back to the lobby, we took a lot of time exploring the Animal Kingdom resort in the daytime. There was a lot to see, both inside and out. Sara loves her fireplaces...even in September. This display was certainly eye catching. So many...

Sadly, our final day had arrived. In my head my countdown always starts at least midway through out trip, and when you finally get to one, it's very deflating. Honestly, I feel that being a parent and driving have really helped with this. Last days used to be filled with a lot of sadness, but...

Thank you, We think those pics are very precious as well. Some of our favorites from the trip. This photo perfectly fits how we were feeling ;)

When we left the restaurant, we spent just a little more time exploring the resort. Sara must have been very infatuated with the tiles on the floor, because she took a ton of photos of them. 😜 It wasn't all floor tiles though ;), we took other photos too. Luke at this point was...

When we exited, we realized the photopass area was a shoot with Cinderella's slipper, and the photographer was easily the most interactive and fun one we had interacted with. He started off with just some shots with Makayla. Then Luke got into the shot. Then the photographer asked...

It was at this point that the true highlight of the evening began...when Cinderella's stepmother and stepsisters came to say hello. First was Lady Tremaine. Luke and Makayla had seen the movie enough to know she wasn't the kindest person, and Sara and I had let them know a little beforehand...

Sara was smart enough to take a photo of the menu as we were back in the restaurant waiting to check into the hostess area. Lots of quality food on the menu, slightly less if you happen to be a vegetarian 😜. Trust me we ate well. We were led to our table, and before we had even decided...

When we had exited Animal Kingdom, instead of heading for the All Star Sports bus station, we instead went to the Grand Floridian and Polynesian bus stop. Our destination was 1900 Park Fare at the Grand Floridian. The first stop was the Poly, and then shortly after that we were going to the...

Once we had finished the Safari, we decided to do the Africa walking trail as a family. The highlight of our trail was definitely the hippo area. We walked into the area where you can look underwater into their area. I had never seen one here before, but sure enough, this one was just...

Once we had one of our more memorable character interactions in our history, we made our way over to the Safari for our last FP. The safari is always a big hit with everyone. Luke really enjoys the bumpy ride, and Makayla really likes seeing the animals. Her favorite was the cheetah, but we...

We made it through Discovery Island and over to Kali. After a brief moment of getting lost trying to find out where to park our stroller, we were in line. It had been probably 10 years since Sara and I had last ridden this ride together. Exploring the queue was like seeing it for the first...

The direction board on Discovery Island is so intricate. There was one point where our walking trail came out right behind where Dug and Russell were meeting guests. Like seriously I think I could have reached out and touched them as we walked by. Makayla was really scared to go past...

After our lunch, we were upon our FOP fastpass window. We did another rider swap. This time, I decided not to go all the way to Africa with Makayla. We hung out for a bit in Pandora and found a photopass photographer. She told us to point out, but Makayla and I must have both misunderstood...

We finished up with the trek, then walked on over to Everest. I'm happy to report that I made it on and off the ride with no ill effects. When we exited, I found Makayla and Sara over at another Wilderness Explorer site where they were learning about Asian folklores. We met Bironika who did...
