Disney Villains Dance Party
Got up nice and close to watch the Disney villains dance outside the castle. It’s not everyday you get to see Cruella de Vil, Captain Hook, and the Queen of Hearts in a rousing musical number.
Magic Kingdom (including the staff who passed out candy) was all decked out in orange, purple, and green for Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party.

Dinner at Tusker House
We ate supper at Tusker House, a buffet style restaurant with mostly African food. (They had a few American dishes like corn dogs and mac’n’cheese for the kids.) The buffet area looks like an African marketplace! We enjoyed the curry chicken, mango chutney, seafood stew, couscous, plantains, roast beef, pork loin, samosas, and of course, the dessert table! The warm banana bread pudding with vanilla sauce (their specialty) was very good.

We were so close that we got high-fived by one of the monkeys! He came right up to our row near the end of the show.

Festival of the Lion King
We skipped the parade at Animal Kingdom to see Festival of the Lion King. We were not disappointed we did so! Music, dancing, a fire eater, performers on stilts, and acrobats dressed up as monkeys… What a great show!

We are staying in one of the 1950’s buildings, with these giant Lady and the Tramp statues. One of my favourite classic Disney movies 🙂

It’s tough to be a bug
It’s tough to be a bug. Just some posters from the queue. Forgot about the “bee sting” and the bugs running underneath your bottom. Spiders falling from the ceiling were cool.
Nice view outside our room

Kiliminjaro Safari
Kiliminjaro Safari. Giraffe’s kept crossing the road. The eggs are ostrich eggs. We saw a ton of animals on the ride. Lot’s of great photo opportunities.
