pandora at night

the only way they could have made the pandora park cooler would be to make it glow in the dark- oh wait, they did!

the alien plants were so cool at night!

glow in the dark awesomeness!

unfortunately, we eventually had to go home...

king of the lions

the boys were amazed by the show!

the dancers acting out the story for us.

the performers were really amazing- it was the best show in all of disney!

safari

these guys were pretty cool.  it was a good idea to start the tour with animals that were neat, but it definitely got better as we went!

just getting a little drink in the tire tracks!

crazy ol' uncle james!

some cool alligators.  or were they crocodiles?  i don't remember...

giraffes just chillin out, taking a break from the hard work of safaring...

a rhino taking a mud bath!

sleepy boy

resting on dear ol' daddy...

ah- he's back!  he didn't need to rest very long, he knew there was a lot more adventure ahead!

even when tired, he never misses a photo op!

meeting mickey

getting a little snack so we could refill that energy!  ledge got an ice cream mickey, and diana got a mickey pretzel!

the boys were thrilled to meet mickey and minnie!

they took a minute to get their autographs.

then it was picture time!

pandora!

the floating islands of pandora!

one of the cool na'vi inspired sculptures decorating the land.

so cool!

ledger was busy exploring this alien planet!

there was a little cafe in pandora.  we didn't end up eating there, but we wandered through it to check out the awesome decorations.

she looks so cool in that na'vi headband!  she wore it the rest of the day.  i'm not sure if she wore it cause she liked it, or if she wore it because i liked it...  now that's true love!

animal kingdom

filling up on a hearty breakfast before the big animal kingdom day!

a quick hug from auntie, and ledge was all set to get back to park exploring!

one of the dino land rides that the boys were really excited about!

heading into the dino land

alanna, mom, barbara, james and the boys all went on a time warp on this ride!

they had a blast, but made sure to also take the time and learn a few things about all the cool animals they were seeing.

unwinding at the house

the boys set out their clothes for the next day- they didn't want to waste a minute in the morning!

chatting with grandma.

around the house.

reenacting the picture on the wall in the play room!

with pajamas on, the two of them review the pictures of the day!

a nice dinner together!

goodbye, magic kingdom!

now those are some happy disney boys!

leaving is not nearly as busy at when we first got here, thats for sure!

a boat ride back to the parking area.  thought this would be a bit more picturesque than the tram.

goodbye, magic kingdom!

the castle

walking through the castle next to the construction.

it was cool to see it up close!

a couple of excited boys!

all the ladies happily posed for a family shot!

a cool panoramic view of the square in front of the castle.
