Animal Kingdom

On our 2nd Day at Disney World, we went to Animal Kingdom.  There was more torrential rain early in the day, but we missed it as we had planned a late start.  

 We started the day at lunch at Sanaa restaurant.  It had really good food and was a neat experience.

 One of the best rides and best parts of the day was the Safari ride at Animal Kingdom.  So many cool animals to see. 

 I'm glad we got to see a few elephants on the safari, because when we did our special elephant encounter later (an hour-long extra experience) we only saw one elephant in the distance briefly.  It was one of many things that didn't quite go as planned on our trip, but we tried to make the best of it.  

 Pictures of Pandora I found online

Later that evening we did a special after-hours event at the Animal Kingdom.  We had some issues getting our wristbands (which caused me too much stress), but in the end the kids loved having the park mostly to themselves and the free treats.  We spent most of the after-hours event in Pandora which we somehow forgot to take pictures of.  I found some pictures online, but even they don't do it justice.  It's an amazing bioluminescent experience.
