Florida Day Three: Disney Animal Kingdom and Hollywood Studios

On Tuesday, 8 September, we headed south across Orlando to Walt Disney World and Animal Kingdom. What a great park Animal Kingdom turned out to be. Disney theming is great, but it is "off da hook" here. After lunch we caught a shuttle to Hollywood Studios, which also turned out to be loads of fun. Crowds are good. No waiting in lines. Most of the "guests" are from Brazil -- seriously.

 A very good experience here

 This enormous Tree of Life is the symbol and focal point of the park

Everest dominates the Asia portion of the park

They keep you entertained while you move through the line

 This train is ready to depart

 Such a creative design

 And such a fun ride: Rod and I did it twice

 Kali River Rapids: "you will get wet, you may get soaked"

 The Lion King show was lively and fun

 The crew

 The Kilimanjaro Safari is super: all the animals were out and 

awake, and here again the theming is wonderful

 Animals up close and personal

 Wonderful design

 Rod and Vic aboard the Wildlife Express Train

 Disney does it right

 We were very fun today

 Hollywood Studios' entry looks familiar

 Wild and crazy guys

 Beauty and the Beast  -- Live on Stage in a 

Hollywood Bowl-like setting

 Kris pointing out the features of the Tower of Terror ride

 Pretending it was terrifying, when it was actually a laugh

 Best Disney meal I've ever had: 50s Primetime Cafe (the 

theming was so much fun for us children of the 50s)

 Mother Nature put on a show for us as we headed toward the exit

Good night Disney World

We dodged the rain and the heat and humidity were okay. We are safely tucked away in our hotel for the night, but are ready and excited for tomorrow's adventures. That's all for now.
