🌿 Disney Recap: Animal Kingdom Day! 🦒💜
Day 4 brought us to Animal Kingdom, and this day was extra special because my sister-in-law and her family joined us for their VERY FIRST Disney World trip! 🥹✨
I absolutely LOVED getting to share our special place with them, but watching my niece get so excited to see my girls was just 😍 My heart!
We started the morning with some pictures in front of the Tree of Life before heading over to Kilimanjaro Safaris. 🦁
One of my biggest tips for the safari? Go early! The hotter it gets, the less interested the animals are in moving around, so mornings are your best bet for spotting them in action.
After our safari, we grabbed some breakfast, enjoyed some dancing in Africa, and ran into Russell! Then we hopped on the train to Conservation Station to meet Bluey & Bingo! 💙🐾
This was such a cute activity for the kids, and a great way to let them burn off some energy while having fun!
We spent a little more time exploring Animal Kingdom before calling it a day. And let me tell you… this was officially our HOTTEST day yet! 🥵☀️
That evening, our group headed to one of our new favorites, Whispering Canyon Cafe, for dinner. And if you know, you know… don’t forget to ask for ketchup! 😉🍅
When we got back to our room, housekeeping had left some fun decorations that kept the Disney magic going. ✨ The little touches make such a difference!
Time to rest up for another FULL park day! 😴🏰💜
