11/24 Animal Kingdom and Seeing the World

I’m glad the kids grew up with travelers for parents. They asked all the right questions, at least until we reached Pandora.

We spent the day in the park that was basically one big zoo. As tired as this made us, I’m glad we went out here for the day. They saw zebras, tigers, and silverback gorillas.

And I might have gone a bit camera-crazy.

I mean…damn but that’s a good setup.
The Asia setting was so well done.
I’m not one for roller coasters, but that looks awesome.

We ended our stay at this park in Pandora, or as I like to say: “James Cameron’s Sci-Fi Take on Pocahontas”. The settings were downright gorgeous for this storyteller.

Not my best photography, but man did it look good.

Sarah’s planning for visits paid off in one of the best ways I could’ve ever hoped for: the kids met Mickey Mouse.

I don’t care what anyone says. That’s Mickey Mouse.

Seeing the kids be starstruck and in such awe. I’m both happy for them and proud of Sarah’s meticulous scheduling. I wouldn’t have thought of this.

Now that everyone is asleep, I’m doing my late-night wanderings and trying to catch up on my writing. I’m exhausted, so I don’t expect much before it’s time for bed again. Tomorrow, we go to the Magic Kingdom, and we meet Princesses.

Han’s said she wants to ask Mulan if she could spar with me, the Kung Fu Dad. I’m slightly terrified, as Mulan would most likely kick my ass. But hey, you do what you need to for the happiness of your children.

Stay safe out there, readers.
