<\/p>On Sunday morning we went to Animal Kingdom where we were able to see the Festival of the Lion King. The singing, dancing and acrobatics were all wonderful. I asked and was allowed to record the entire show (it\u2019s only 30 minutes). Unfortunately, my computer won\u2019t let me download the video from my Flip right now. I will post it as soon as I can. (I showed it to my husband and sons on our television and they really enjoyed it. I think that the length of the show is perfect for little ones \u2013 especially those who ask a gazillion questions and get \u201cantsy\u201d like mines!)\n

Later in the day, we had a little free time to experience the parks on our own. Jennifer, \u201cMamaLaw\u201d<\/a> and I decided to go back to Animal Kingdom. (That decision made Jennifer and I miss our scheduled van service to the airport but it was so worth it AND \u201cMamaLaw\u201d was sweet enough to drive us to the airport on her way home \u2013 she had driven because she lives in Florida).<\/p>\n

We only had time for one attraction, so we went on the Kilimanjaro Safaris. Several points during the safari were really awe-inspiring. The thing that sort of freaked me out afterwards though was that the animals were wandering around without any type of restraint (hence, the term \u201csafari\u201d). The vehicle that I was in was open (no doors\/glass partitions\/etc.), so there was really nothing preventing the elephants, lions, etc. from coming over for \u201clunch\u201d. There must be some sort of science to these safaris. In any event, here are some of the pictures that I took of the scenery and animals: <\/p>\n
