it took me over a month, but to conclude our walt disney world vacation posts, here is a video of clips from our trip.  i didn't document everything, but managed to get a few clips to recap most of our trip.

we had such a great time on our trip, and i'm really glad we have these photos/video to look back on  to remember our vacation.

walt disney world 2022: animal kingdom

we headed to animal kingdom on saturday to finish off our disney vacation.  it's always great to see the animals, ride the rides, see the shows, and admire the beautiful landscaping!

here are a sampling of photos from our day in animal kingdom (a combination of photos that we took and photos of us that the disney photographers took with our memory maker photo pass).

^expedition everest is such a great roller coaster!  i couldn't ride, but ryan went on with my parents.  glad we have the ride photo to see their reactions!^

^i was happy to be able to ride the dinosaur ride!  another classic.^

^the animal safari is incredible.  i'm so glad we got the opportunity to ride it twice because each time you see different animals.  we couldn't believe how close they were to the safari truck!^

^we ate lunch at satu'li canteen and it was really good!^

^thanks, mom and dad, for the mickey ice cream treat!  it was refreshing on such a hot and humid afternoon!^

^the pandora land is really beautiful how it's decorated.  we were happy that we were able to ride both pandora rides.^

^we took a break from the afternoon heat and enjoyed some a.c. indoors while we took a drawing class.  it was a lot of fun!^

^the festival of the lion king is always such a good show, it never disappoints!^

^we had dinner at the rainforest cafe.  we were so hungry that we ate before we snapped a picture of our food.  we did get a photo of dessert though.  my parents treated us to the ultimate celebration cake/ice cream dessert in honor of baby boy!  it was definitely enough to feed 4 people!^

love, laurie

walt disney world 2022: hollywood studios

after our day at disney springs, we headed to the hollywood studios park on friday.  hollywood studios has really great rides and awesome shows too.

here are a sampling of photos from our day in hollywood studios (a combination of photos that we took and photos of us that the disney photographers took with our memory maker photo pass).

^we started our day out with the new mickey and minnie's runaway railway ride in the chinese theatre.  so cute and so clever!^

^ryan and my dad went on rock 'n' roller coaster while my mom and it found a shady place to sit with a cup of cold water.  i've always enjoyed that ride in the past but it's much too intense for a pregnant woman.  we got a kick out of seeing their faces on the ride photo though!^

^i always love watching the indiana jones show.  it's a classic that i remember from when i was a kid.^

^the beauty and the beast show is so good too.  we also took time out of the sun to watch the frozen sing-along show as well.^

^even though we're not star wars fans we visited the new stars wars land to check it out with it's new attractions and rides.^

^for lunch we grabbed veggie pizza and salad at pizzerizzo but we were so hungry that we forgot to take photos!  for dinner, we made reservations for mama melrose's ristorante italiano since we had never been there before.  the food was great!^

^toy story land is so much fun, the decorations are so incredible.  i really love how it all lights up at night too!^

love, laurie
