Animal Kingdom
Posted by Fay on March 22, 2008
We made two trips to Animal Kingdom. It is very different then the other Disney parks. Not many rides and lots of nature walks, animals and fun shows. The huge “Tree of Life” sculpture is incredible. You could spend quite a bit of time looking at all the animal carvings that make up the trunk.
A Bugs World, a 3 D film was cute, the live performance of Lion King was beautiful and the bird show was lots of fun. Lines were to long for Nemo and Bob road on the Everest roller coaster. He wasn’t particularily impressed. The days we went the weather was around 75 and it wasn’t to crowded. We had lunch at the Yeti and Yak sit down restaurant. We had the best mahi mahi I have ever had.
I can’t say enough about the safari. Giraffe, lions, rhino, hippo, zebra, many deer and antelope, etc. seen close up in a large jeep. We went on it three times. My favorite time was on the second ride when we had to stop for about 15 minutes because 5 white rhino’s were blocking the road. It was awesome. They are about the size of a small car and so close we could almost touch them.
The walks through the Asia and African areas to see gorillas, tigers, birds and other wild life was wonderful also.
