Today we set out early and went to two animal kingdoms. First we dropped Joey off at a kennel for some doggy daycare, and then we continued on to Disney’s Animal Kingdom which, had we gone straight there, is less than a hour’s drive from Camp Margaritaville. Jenny was there years ago; I’ve never been.
I can’t speak highly enough about how well run Animal Kingdom is. Almost nothing is left to chance. The grounds are very clean and it is well-staffed with “cast members” that act professionally. I was amazed by how many visitors wore Disney merchandise. We both had a great time, and I am left with great memories.
Our first “experience” was the African safari. You approach the safari entrance by walking through an African village, which was reminiscent of my days in Africa, down to the flaking stucco and jumbled wires atop utility poles. You then get on a vehicle and are driven on the safari to view the animals.
Next was the Lion King show, which we both loved. Part musical, part Cirque du Soleil - the actors interacted with the audience and it was fun for all. We also trekked through an area with Asian animals; saw a show with trained birds; saw a “Finding Nemo”-themed show and had a nice lunch at an Asian restaurant.
I’ll include only a few pictures here. More to come in the photo album. But because I'm a cultured and classy guy, I'll leave you with one more picture of me with yard art at the kennel.
Big is jealous of that hydrant and your technique
ReplyDeleteI view your balancing act at the hydrant more as a sobriety test. Happy dry January.
ReplyDeleteJoey needs that hydrant at home. Will it fit in the RV?
