For New Year's...well, the Saturday after New Year's, we had the grand opportunity to go to Disney's Animal Kingdom and the Magic Kingdom for FREE!! One of our good friends works for Disney, so she got us in with "park hopper passes" which means, we got to go to any of the 4 parks all day long! So, we chose Animal Kingdom and the Magic Kingdom.
We had such a blast!! It was Baylee's first time, Brayden's 2nd time, Tim's 3rd time and my One Millionth time going to Disney. We had the kids close their eyes when we got close to Disney property so that they wouldn't know where we were going. All they knew was we were going somewhere "special". They were SOOO excited to open their eyes and see that we were at Animal Kingdom. Now, this was ALL of our first time going to Animal Kingdom and it was the coolest park! We went on an African Safari and saw some really neat animals. We had an Ostrich that chased our Safari vehicle and he tried to reach out and peck a passenger! It was quite hilarious! We saw West Nile Crocs that were 16 - 20 feet long! It was so scary and they were about 10 feet from us!
At lunch time, we left Animal Kingdom and headed over to the Magic Kingdom. Baylee was so excited to see Cinderella's castle and to see all of the Disney characters that she recognized from movies. Brayden & Baylee were able to have some of the characters sign their autograph books, which was one of the highlights of their day! They had different parades throughout the day which the kids thoroughly enjoyed. We stayed late to watch the fireworks and they were amazing! They lite the castle up with so many different colors and had icicle lights over it and it was gorgeous! We had so much fun and I'm so thankful that our friend Tonya allowed us to have such a wonderful day together as a family with her perks at Disney! Thanks Tonya!!
