Spent a long day in Animal Kingdom among teeming throngs of humanity from all over the world (seems to be a lot of Brazilians). The weather today was absolutely perfect!! We arrived at the park around 9:30 after a one hour bus ride. The first thing you come to entering the park is the "Tree of Life", an unbelievable example of Disney-magic! (In case you haven't seen it, its not real!) and right nearby was an impressive flight of beautiful macaws
We started with a hysterically funny 3-D movie called "Its Tough to be a Bug!". Then on to Dinoland and a rather uncomfortable coaster ride featuring real dinosaurs. Stops in Asia section for a snack on our way to the Africa area e enjoyed the Lion King show, the Kilamanjaro Safari and the Gorilla Falls trail. Lunch at Yak and Yeti; buffet dinner at Tuskers.
A fun surprise this afternoon was meeting up with our Oneonta friend Linda Jump. Linda lived nearby and will jump at any excuse to visit one of "her" parks. Sam and Linda had babies together 40 some years ago and we reconnect every now and then.
After dinner we returned to the Pandora area for a very cool night time boat ride through a world of iridescent creatures. The final show of the day was a beautiful "movie" projected onto the base of the Tree of Life.
Back to our room by 9:00PM. Crash until tomorrow for Epcot. We'll leave mid - afternoon to get our rental car and take off on our road trip.
