Tuesday had us going to Animal Kingdom (this was the only rope drop we didn't make, but we got there within a couple min of opening. We would have made it sooner, but we were waiting on the thunderstorms to pass). My brother-in-law and I quickly went to Expedition Everest to get fast passes and then we met up with the rest of the family for the Safari ride. Just as we loaded we got delayed about 10 minutes while the wildabeasts were migrating across the roads on the Safari tour. This turned out to be the longest wait we had at WDW (a good 30+ min after Jason and I got there from getting the fast passes). Not too bad. Anyway, after that, Jen, the girls and her parents opted for the Nemo show while Jason and I rode everest twice (my only roller coaster experience of the week). I do love one thing about WDW rides, they really are made for 'the family' in that there wasn't any mile long drop like you have on most rides here in Texas. I could see kids being able to handle this ride (well, not my own who are scared of even the smallest roller coasters). Since we had FP, I was able to hurry across the bridge and catch of with the rest of the clan at Nemo, which was a very neat show.
Next up was our sack lunch and then we caught the Flight of Wonders show, a VERY awesome bird show. Its still amazes me how strong, bold and charismatic a Bald Eagle looks. The tricks they got the birds to do was the highlight of the day. Finally, we did a small jungle trek while Jen's parents went to check out The Bugs Life show (heard it was a little scary for my very easily scared girls) and we headed back to the home. The other 4 headed over to ride the water ride (no real interest here) and the met us at home a little later.
The kids got a little swimming in before the storms showed up in force. There are some pretty amazing lightning storms in the Orlando area. That night we had our one group outing for dinner during the rain and rested up from our long Monday trek and our expected Wednesday adventure.
