Disney World - Animal Kingdom

We all rallied today, but we took it fairly easy as Mandy and I were still not 100%. We had the breakfast buffet here at the Trail’s End restaurant, and then came back for a nap. Bill and Mandy stayed out late last night drinking their way around The World Showcase at Epcot.

At 3 we headed to the Animal Kingdom for an early light dinner at Yak and Yedi. Mandy had not been there before. It is a nice Asian restaurant. I settled for Won Ton soup. Bill had some ahi tuna and chicken lettuce cups. Mandy had some rice, green beans tempura, and some mixed veggies. We had a nice view of the Animal Kingdom parade which was fun.

Tonight Bill and Mandy went to the campfire movies here to see “Lilo and Stitch” and “High School Musical 2”. I stayed behind and went to the beach here at the campground at 9 to see the Magic Kingdom fireworks. They have them every night, and they last about 15 minutes and are pretty awesome!

I must talk about the huge displays of Christmas decorations that many of the campers put out. Neither words nor pictures can describe the unbelievable amount of money that has been invested in these setups. One woman on our loop is from New Orleans and she has to have at least 30 Christmas blowups, a million miles of colored lights, and a ton of wood/plastic stick items in the ground items. It is truly breath-taking. And she is not alone.

I keep posting photos on the Disney Christmas 2008 site, so just click on the link to the left.
