Animal Kingdom and Magic Kingdom

The crowds at Disney are increasing, so it is probably time to leave. This morning we went to Animal Kingdom. We had lunch at the Flame Tree barbeque which is always fun because seating is hidden around the lake, and we can watch Everest ride and the ducks who come for handouts. Then we took a walk through the Pangani Forest. The colobus monkeys, okapi, birds, hippo, and gorillas are always fun to watch. I posted some photos on the Disney Christmas link on the left. The gorillas were really out today, and they were magnificent to watch. The crowds started to gather, so we left the park and came back to the RV. I took a nap.

At 5:30 we took the boat to the Magic Kingdom to see the castle lighting ceremony one last time. Then we had dinner at Cosmic Ray’s. Most people were getting ready to see the parade, so it wasn’t too crowded. However, after dinner, the parade was still going on, and it was difficult making our way down Main St to the entrance. Our boat home was packed. Bill went back to the RV while I stayed on the beach to watch the Magic Kingdom fireworks. I did get a photo of one of the more elaborately decorated golf carts that roam the campgrounds. That is also posted on the link to the left.
