Animal Kingdom

Day 1 & 8 in Orlando: Animal Kingdom Absolutely love this Disney Park! One thing I would recommend to do before turning up at a Disney park is looking at a map of the park, seeing what rides/ shows you would like to do prior to going and loosely planning your day. On day 1 we arrived for the afternoon only and just walked around soaking up the atmosphere and amazing scenery. We did manage the ‘Kali River Rapids’ and Feathered Friends of Flight’. For the rapids you do get wet and we did see others taking a poncho. Yesterday we went for a much fuller day. The wait for the Safari was just 30 minutes and well worth the wait. We also went on ‘It’s tough to be a bug’. This was located in the tree of life so very interested walking through to it. This is a 3D cinema experience with surprises. My children didn’t take too much to the surprises of water being squirted and Spiders dangling from the ceiling etc and spend the time with their eyes closed. One for the older children! The highlight for me however (apart from the cinnamon bun ) was ‘The Lion King Show’. An absolutely stunning performance and one not to miss!
