First, here's the previously mentioned video of the trip on Thunder Mountain.....
Second, I didn't realize Suzanne had some video of the boys blasting bugs on the Island of Spice. Here it is.
Thursday: Started the day at the Animal Kingdom; Scott, Christopher, and Grandma headed over to the Safari Ride and Suzanne, Kevin, Matthew, and Gramps headed over to the Everest coaster.
Christopher's adventures with the camera on the safari ride are worthy of their own post; we'll do that shortly. I have some video tape as well, and that will have to wait for later as well.
After the 'split', we all headed over to Dinoland for the Dinosaur ride....Kevin, famously, was caught on the picture taken for the ride cowing away in terror from the Dinosaur that's roaring at you; this time, he takes the stoic route and there's not a hint of movement from him in the picture. After that, we head over to the new attraction, Finding Nemo: The Musical.
one of the few pictures that came out ok....too much light and movement in other photos
Nemo at the Dentist's fish tank
Nemo leaving with his teacher at the end of the show
And it's really good. Almost off-Broadway like in terms of the production. Very happy we did this. We have a bunch of video from the musical...here's a little bit.
Of course, Matthew and Kevin didn't go to Nemo...they wanted to do Everest again, so, we headed over there to meet up with them. I may, or may not, have some video of them coming down the big hill....Suzanne did catch them on camera.
trust me, they're on this car
here's a zoomed in view. Kevin has his hands up behind the big guy in the white; Matthew also has his hands up(!) right next to him...
Started to rain shortly after this; we knew it was coming and had planned to leave about this time anyway, and missed most of the downpour as we headed to the parking lot. Made it back to the hotel, and, after about 2 hours, the skies cleared again. So,the boys were off to the pool
Matthew underwater
Went back to Hollywood Studios for dinner that night. Did the Prince Caspian attraction (not worth it), watched the American Idol Experience finale (was worth it....there's some pretty talented folk that try out for this).
the view of Mickey's hat from where we sat (outside) for Idol
After Idol, we went over to Phatasmagic, the end-of-the-night show at the park. We've seen it before, and it's well worth the hassle in getting there and getting out of there to see it.
