Walt Disney World -- Saturday, August 19
On our last full day, we went to the last remaining theme park: Animal Kingdom. My wife says this was her favorite part of the trip. We were able to get fastpass tickets for the Expedition to Everest, and I would love to do that again. I've never been on a roller coaster than spend much of its trip going backwards, in the dark...

We actually caught a lot of attractions at Animal Kingdom, even though it was very, very crowded. We did the 3D movie at It's Hard To Be A Bug. The best show in the whole park is the Lion King. Very impressive. You can skip the Pocahontas show; it's nothing but a short lesson in deforestation.

We did a counter service lunch at the Tusker Cafe in the Africa section. This was a pretty good fast-food lunch, with rotisserie chicken and big crispy chicken sandwiches

In the late afternoon, we headed over to MGM Studios, to catch some of the things we missed. My son wanted to buy something at the Star Wars store, and my daughter wanted something at the Indiana Jones store. We caught our last counter service dinner at the ABC Commissary again, and then the skies opened up and it started to pour down rain. My wife is always prepared, so we had plastic rain ponchos in our backpacks. The stores were doing a bang-up business in Mickey ponchos, but a lot of people were just soaked to the skin.

The advantage to the drenching rainstorm is that it clears the humidity out of the air. By the time we got back to Fort Wilderness at 9 PM or so, it was the most pleasant weather we had felt all week. My wife sent the three of us off to the pool so she could repack our suitcases in peace, and we bedded down for our last night.
