What started at 3 am was the beginning of a four day trip to Disney World. A trip that includes a day at each if the four Disney parks, Magic Kingdom, Animal Kingdom, Hollywood Studios, and Epcot.
Most of the day, at Animal Kingdom, we had spent on the Y.E.S. program, standing for Youth Education Series. During the "class" we learned about many different zoological jobs, and Disney jobs in general. We rode Expedition Everest, a fast pace thrill roller coaster that takes us through a journey through the Himalayan mountains, as we learned about how many jobs it takes for one ride. Then, we rode Kilimanjaro Safaris, which we were given a list of animals at had to mark down if the animal was visible or not. Visible as in, not only seeing their butt. After our safari we were taken behind the scenes to learn more. We learned about veterinarians and their role in care for the animals.
The rest of the day was spent wandering around the park. Actually wandering. One of the highlights of the day was watching "The Festival of the Lion King"
After eating food from Asia for dinner and wandering around some more, we were beat. We had counted the total number of hours we had been awake, every hour. The day was a big blur. As the park closed at 7pm, the group decided to spend some time in Downtown Disney, a shopping and entertainment plaza. We stopped at the "World of Disney" store and got lost three times in the giant store. The best part of the entire day was walking into the Ghirardelli Store and receiving free chocolate, and then getting free Mickey Mouse stickers moments later.
After a long, 20 hour day, it's finally time to sleep and get ready for the rest of the weekend.
I hope I dream of Mickey Waffles.
