Epcot and Animal Kingdom

Day 3: We spent the day at Epcot. This was a very interesting park. It had the World Pavilion where you could tour around different countries that were around a big lake. The "cast members" that were in the specific countries were ones that were actually from the actual countries they represented. They even had accents and I love to hear the accents of the world. In the Future World part of the park, they had all these innovative things that were pretty much hands on for kids and adults. One of my favorite rides was one called "Soarin" where it simulates you being on a glider touring the world. If you watch Disney channel at all, you might know what I'm talking about. It's definitely an experience. Something interesting I learned was how everything served at Disney restaurants are all grown and raised there on the resort. It's almost kind of a scary thought. We went through the greenhouse experience and even saw the little shrimpies... All I could think was, "I could be eating one of you tomorrow." Hmmm... made me think twice about my meal.

Day 4: Here is Animal Kingdom. For anyone that loves animals and zoos, this is an awesome park. One of the best things is probably the Safari ride. The animals just roam free and a driver drives you around the savanna. There were several times where we had to stop due to animals crossing. They have right of way over us humans. For dinner, we visited another resort and ate at Ohana. The food was DELICIOUS!!! It was Polynesian style and everything was brought out to you on skewers. We even had the perfect view of the Magic Kingdom fireworks. They played the music that went along with the fireworks and we watched them over dinner. It was beautiful (I have never watched a fireworks show that was synchronized to music.)
