Day seven. From the jungle to France in one day!

How do they do it? Read on!

We start the day back at animal kingdom. Today is extra magic hours, so we wake up bright and early to get to the park at 8am. Yes, you read that right. Deb was up that early on vacation.

We go right to the safari area. We've heard the animals are most active in the morning when it is this hot out out. As soon as we get there, we grab a fast pass so we can do it again, and head out for our first safari. Here are a few pictures.








There are several trails around where you can walk around and get closer looks at some different animals.






Paul even got Deb to go on a water rapids ride. She's not terribly fond of getting wet, but she was game and wearing quick dry clothes. The last time she did this sort of ride, obnoxious teenagers decided to have a splashing match on the boat. This time, there were no teenagers, but she still did manage to get more wet than paul.

We spent the rest of the day wandering around the park, having frozen cokes, seeing the shows, and getting hotter by the minute. Next, we take a bus from the jungle to France. It just takes a few minutes! Ok, well, it is Disney magic. The bus goes from animal kingdom to the ticket center. Then, we take the monorail to epcot.

At epcot, our goal is to stay cool. So, we head to a few indoor things, including our second tour of the land and greenhouses. While on this tour, a little british boy behind us says, "look, mummy, cucumbers!". Do american children even know what a cucumber is?

Dinner is in France, and is lovely. We have a three course meal. We both start with lobster bisque, Paul has roast chicken, and Deb has salmon. Desert is profiteroles for Paul, and creme brûlée for Deb. We treat ourselves to a lovely bottle of wine with dinner. It just seems like the right thing to do.




After dinner, we decide to call it a night. We are both tired, and we have a big day planned tomorrow!
