We took the morning to run down to Animal Kingdom and finally take A. on the safari ride. We got there a tad later than we'd hoped, so we didn't see a ton of animals. But we did see elephants and giraffes, among others. A. had a little antsy moment when she didn't want to sit down any more, but she otherwise seemed to enjoy it a lot, asking for "more" when we got off the truck. The elephants were her favorite, getting lots of signs.
Mostly we wandered after that, but stumbled across a meet-and-greet with Pooh, Eeyore, and Tigger with a very short line. We decided to do A.'s first introduction to full-size characters, see how she'd handle it.
The queue is set up so that you can see other people meeting the characters first, and I think this is a great idea. A. got to see all three from a distance before the up-close. It did mean she got a little impatient as we got to the end, though.
She was really excited to see the characters. Up close, she was a bit shy, but pretty good. A. had been holding on to the wooden giraffe I made her the whole way through the park, and as an ice breaker Pooh took it and pretended to eat it. After that, A. gave her giraffe to each of the other characters as she met them.
We have a cute picture of A. giving Pooh a kiss on the nose. I'll try to get a version of that up soon.
And in memory of her first character meet-and-greet, we bought her an 18" Pooh bear. It's nearly as big as she is. :)
