Day 6: Animal Kindgdom and Hollywood Studios

The night before we were all feeling pretty sick.  Tom was the worst and I had told him that if he didnt feel better in the morning, he needed to stay back at the hotel.  I didnt want him walking around being sick because I didnt want him to get worse.  However, we had one big problem.  We had to check out of our Animal Kingdom Lodge hotel and check into our new hotel at Port Orleans: French Quarter.  We had to check out of AK at 11 and we couldnt check into our new one until 3!  Since we were all feeling sick I didnt know how long we would last at the parks.

We woke up early because we had a breakfast reservation at Tusker House to eat with the safari characters.  Tom said he was feeling better, but I was still feeling really yucky.  It seemed like both boys were doing better too.  So off to breakfast we go.  We got there and had to walk and stand and wait in the heat.  It was torture!  When we finally got in there, we had to take pictures with donald first.  It was so much fun.  He was so funny and the boys loved it.  We got the printed picture of that picture too.  We sat down and got our food and one by one all the chars came to our table.  There was goofy, mikey, donald, and daisy.  I was expecting minnie to be there, but I guess she doesnt go to that one.  After breakfast we went to the safari since that is the whole reason to go to Animal Kingdom.  It was fun...took about 30 min to get through the whole thing.  At one point, I was about 10 feet from a giraffe!  It was amazing.  All the animals and the land was just breath taking.  It was absolutely beautiful!   We walked around for a bit trying to find more characters to sign the books but we couldnt find any so we just left and went to Hollywood Studios. 

Now this is the park we were looking forward to the most.  Mostly for Tyler!  He was SO excited to meet Lightning Mcqueen and Mater.  Those are his FAVORITE characters and so he really wanted to meet them and be able to talk to them.  We first saw Marilyn Monroe and betty boop.  They were both so fun and stayed in such good character.  We did a few rides, but not much.  The most we did there was see all the characters and just walk around.  Since I wasnt feeling good, I was not in the mood to do much.  We went on Star Tours and that was the best ride of the day!  The boys absolutely LOVED it.  They had so much fun on it.  We finally made it over to see Lightning McQueen and Tyler could not stand it.  He ran right up there and just stood there waiting for them to talk to him.  When they didnt, he was so disappointed.   He really wanted to talk to them about things haha.  But he loved it and said that was the best part of the trip.  We got some good pictures of him meeting lightning McQueen and mater and I am glad he was able to meet his hero haha.  We asked if he was disappointed that he didnt get to talk he said yes.  But he said that he must of really liked him because he revved his engine 2 times for him...haha.  

We left there around lunch time and decided to go to house of blues one more time.  We loved their food and being at downtown disney is always fun.  So we headed there knowing we had a few more hours left until we could check into our other hotel.  So we took our time eating lunch and then we just decided to go and see if we could check in early.  We got there around 2 and they said that our room was ready so we were able to check in.  The hotel was def not as nice as the one we just stayed in, but it worked out for us.  We just hung out in the hotel resting from the past week.  Jacob was having a really rough time.  He was very angry and then felt really sick afterwards.  We just think the 7 days was much to long for him.  So he started acting out because thats the only way he knows to show his emotions.  We ate dinner there at the hotel and then went to bed shortly after.  We tried to go to bed early since we had been up so late every night before and we knew we were flying home the next day and had a lot to do.
