Disney World: Day 2

Friday, May 7th-  We stayed at the Pop Century Resort and this giant Mickey phone was really close to our room.   There was also a larger than life-size Foosball game you could walk through.  We stayed in the 70's part of the resort.  It was a value resort, but I was totally happy with the accommodations.  They had a fun room in the lobby with kid sized furniture and Disney cartoons on all the time, really neat collage boxes full of popular culture items from years past, and a huge food court and gift shop.    
We started our day in Animal Kingdom and many of the characters were out and about.  Tony & Sawyer love Lilo & Stitch, but Sawyer was too shy for photos.  By the time we made it to Turk,  we realized all he needed was to give the character a high-5 and knuckles and all was well. 
It was a really hot day!  We watched a bird show, went on a safari, and watched half of the Finding Nemo show.  (Sawyer loved the first two adventures, not the the Nemo show so much.)   We had afternoon reservations in Hollywood Studios at the Sci Fi Dine-In Theatre, so we jumped on the Disney transportation and headed over to that park. 
 
At Sci-Fi ,Sawyer loved the cars and we loved the drive-in movie setting.  We enjoyed delicious, thick milk shakes and our food was cool and refreshing.  It was nice to get in out of the heat for a fun dining experience.  Once we had stuffed ourselves, we headed off to see some of Sawyer's favorite characters.
