We stopped in for a quick breakfast at Pizzafari and it was pretty delicious and completely EMPTY. Great stop! Then we headed straight for the safari. We always pick this first as early in the day you will see the most animals. The elephants and lions are always our favorite. The boys were especially excited to see the lioness up and moving around. They are almost ALWAYS asleep.
The beginning of our safari!
After our safari, we headed to Rafikis planet watch. It's a train ride out to the middle of nowhere, where you can explore different things. Kailtin and Burke did a little scavenger hunt, we met Rafiki, saw surgery going on on a bird and learned about other things. They also have a petting zoo with sheep, etc. The boys elected to skip it to get to the Dinosaur Dig Playground faster!

My silly boy!
The Dinosaur dig playground is the boys favorite thing at AK hands down. I don't mind it, but it does stress me out a bit, because the boys are so young and I hate to take my eyes off of them. It's a huge playground with tunnels everywhere. I also don't love it when its so hot out! After too long at the playground, we stopped at Yak and Yeti for lunch. I've never eaten at AK before (other than Tusker House) and I was very impressed. It was a great quick service and we will likely go back!
After our AK adventure, we headed to our NEW hotel. We switched over to the Art of Animation after 3 nights. We couldn't get a suite for the whole trip so we split it. It was by far the best decision ever! We had an awesome suite and the boys LOVED it.
The Nemo pool is the largest pool on Disney Property and we really enjoyed it!
Sally and McQueen were right outside our room.
Our kitchen table that also turned into Burke's bed. He LOVED that it was a table too :)
Living room and Kitchen - there was a TV, etc also.

We stayed in the suite for 4 nights. The ONLY downside was EVERY time we walked by the cars (and they have EVERY car from the movie) the boys had to stop for a picture.
After a rest in our new suite, we headed to Hollywood Studios for the Friday the 13th party. All I can say is, it was a MISTAKE. I have been to Disney on 4th of July, Christmas, New Years, etc. and I have NEVER seen it that crowded. I guess that's what you get when you do a free event with characters you can't normally see?? I am thankful that we had fast passes thanks to fast pass+ so we could do some things. We also got word that some characters may just pop up, so we were waiting and very excited to meet Hook!!!
We headed back to the room relatively early because it was just too crazy, but it was a great day!
