Pics from balcony of animal kingdom lodge

The first night we were there it was dark when we arrived but I checked out the view and there were a lot of "deer" (I'm sure they were some other animal, but looked closest to deer.) The next morning we opened the curtain and the giraffe was right in front of our window. There were other giraffes on the savannah "next door" that we could always see. There weren't any zebras on our savannah, but you could go to several other observations decks throughout the resort and see zebras.

Animal Kingdom

Saturday afternoon we went to Animal Kingdom.  We hit the high points because of time constraints.  We did Kilamanjaro Safari, and both "nature trails"--pangani trail and Marajah trail.  Porter was most excited to see the giant fruit bats, and we are happy to report that he has finally aquired a stuffed bat, as he has been asking for one for the last several months.  (I have pics on my phone that I will share in a separate post.)

 We were able to get really close to the rhinos today, and we got to see the baby rhino (one on the left).

 The bats.....

Few pics from the parade at AK...

Disney junior show

Great show for preschoolers featuring all of the Disney junior tv shows. Porter liked it last year, but LOVED it this year.

Hollywood Studios

Saturday morning we had breakfast at Hollywood Studios with Special Agent Oso, Handy Manny, Jane from Little Einsteins, and Jake from Jake and the Neverland Pirates. Porter wasn't very sure about Jane, took a while to warm up to Agent Oso, wouldn't get near Handy Manny, and was super excited to see Jake.  Range of emotions a breakfast...

 After breakfast we saw the Disney Junior show (more to come in next post).

Toy Story Mania!!!!  My all time favorite ride at Disney.  Porter did super this time--sat in his own seat, wore his glasses and played some serious toy story carnial games.  

 Played so hard his glasses were crooked when we finished!!

More Not So Scary....

I guess I did take a few pictures with my camera, and here they are...

The not so scary Halloween party 2012

This is one of my favorite things to do at Disney. We have been lucky enough to go the last 3 years in a row and I would love to do it more. It rained on us this year, so I didn't take any pics with my camera--just my phone. And we didn't get a good pic of our costumes either. Porter was a firefighter, Hollice was a Dalmatian, and Ciji and I were fire. There are no pics of us in our costumes!! I was kinda upset that we didn't make it happen somehow. The only pic I have is porter sitting on my shoulders to watch the parade and you could see our tulle "fire" headgear.



Here are the other pics I got.






Fireworks pics....
I have taken pics of the fireworks all three years, but these definitely turned out the best. These iPhones keep getting better and better.
