Disney's Animal Kingdom- Part 1

Karibuni!!! That means WELCOME!! Today we are going to take a virtual of one of my family's favorite parks! Disney's Animal Kingdom.

One of the most common things that I hear when helping clients with their touring plans is, "We won't spend much time at Animal Kingdom...we have a Zoo at home".  While today's post will focus on a section of Animal Kingdom that is abundant with animals, Animal Kingdom is....nahtazu!!


They have so much more to offer!  There are exploration trails and ample opportunities for learning about conservation.  You can travel back in time, or be shrunk to the size of  bug.  We could easily spend 2-3 days of our trip here!

Typically I'm among the Earl Extra Magic Hours belief...we've been numerous and we get so much done in that hour, leaving the rest of our day to explore the park.  On my last trip however, I was traveling with my Mom and the baby, neither of whom were interested in getting up a the crack of dawn. Knowing that I wouldn't see everything anyway, I let them sleep in. We grabbed a quick bite to eat before grabbing a bus.

One of the great things about Animal Kingdom is there are trails to explore everywhere! As you make your way over to Discovery Island, don't miss all the great animals!!


While it's certainly not as grand as walking through the Train Station at Magic Kingdom and seeing the castle, I do love crossing the bridge to Discovery Island and seeing the Tree of Life!


At the base of the Tree of Life is the Tree of Life Garden...watch for Photopass photographers here! They take some great shots!


Also located at the base is some more opportunities to see animals. Normally we see Kangaroo's here but today it was just Flamingos and Vultures.

Uh oh....look who fell asleep! We just got here!



That's Part 1 for today!! Next up, Animal Kingdom's Baby Care Center, shopping and the village of Harambe!
