Trip Planning Day 3

Since my arm got twisted and Day 2 was at the Magic Kingdom, today we are heading to Animal Kingdom. When you read sites or discussion boards that talk about trip planning there are so many different ways to look at it.  For us, we love heading to EMH, or early extra magic hours at Animal Kingdom and Magic Kingdom. I think they are 100% worth it while you'll read many sites that disagree. Since Day 2 was was at Magic Kingdom while Animal Kingdom was having their EMH, it looks like we'll miss out on that too!

The great thing about all these "rules" and trying to figure them out is a) We will be at Disney during a relatively slow time of year. A busy park isn't BUSY like at Christmas. B) We are at Disney!!  What beats that?

We are testing out a theory this year that if we go to a park the day AFTER they have EMH it will presumably be a bit slower. To be honest, my thought is if enough people follow this theory it's probably just as busy as an EMH morning but we'll see!!

For days when we arrive early at the parks, we'll grab a quick breakfast in the room (Cereal, breakfast bars, etc). Today we'll plan to be at Animal by 8:30 since the park opens at 9 a.m.  Our first stop will most likely be at Everest before heading to the Safari.

While it's hard to pick favorites, Animal Kingdom is by far among the top choices. We could spend more than one day here. We love the hustle and bustle in the morning when the park opens and then we spend our afternoons exploring the park, the trails, the shows and having some amazing food.

 Disney really outdid themselves with the themeing at the this park and I think that's what makes it so amazing for us!

Since Animal Kingdom is only open until 5 p.m., we'll be done rather early. After we head back to the room to freshen up, we'll be going to Wilderness Lodge for dinner at Whispering Canyon Cafe.

We just know the kids are going to have a BLAST here!  Not to mention my hubby who is the biggest fan of Bottomless Milkshakes...yes BOTTOMLESS!!! YUM!!!
