Yes, it really is true that we managed to take all the above photos during a single day at the Animal Kingdom this week. Back on Wednesday, which seems an age away now, we spent a fantastic day on the wilder side of Disney. Actually, we got there closer to lunch time than opening time. (We are now firmly on American time and are no longer waking very early every morning as we did for the first few days!)
We saw everything we wanted to and had no need at all for Fastpass. The rides were good, but not too scary or dramatic. The safari was fantastic, and walking through the park a true pleasure. We were glad to see that the tigers were firmly behind walls which appeared totally unthinkable for them to jump over!
The less dangerous animals were close enough to touch from our safari truck. Those people (such as my darling wife, Andree) who have been to Africa will have to confirm this, but it seemed to me that Disney has done a pretty good job of at least trying to get a flavor of the real thing.
Animal Kingdom was definitely a treasured experience, although it was very different to any of the other theme parks we’d experienced.
