a little animal kingdom

Disney buses regularly come to the resorts for all sorts of Disney destinations -- and our next Disney destination was the Animal Kingdom theme park. Little Rider was happy to be on the bus ...
It is the smallest of the three parks ... and essentially ... a glorified zoo. Animal exhibits ... a petting area with sheep and goats ... and a wild bird show.
In the middle of the park stands "The Tree of Life" :)
For most, I would guess that the highlights of Animal Kingdom are the "African" safari ride and the roller coaster ride on "Mount Everest". Daddy went on Mount Everest three times ... once with each of the three oldest kids ... and then I went on it with Buddy. Little Dude enjoyed watching "train" after "train" race down the mountain ...
Daddy is in the third row ... on the right in the picture ... and he loved it! See his raised hand??? I think Halo is the white hood cowering next to him ...
Buddy and Foofie thought it was okay ... it seemed more fun to them after the scariness had ended ... when they were safely back on solid ground. And Halo and I thought it was way less than enjoyable ... and neither of us plan on riding it ever again :)
Here is the fam on the safari ride ...
Little Rider was happy :)
Isn't this a neat tree???




This is the main ... perhaps the only??? ... ride for the littler ones. It's also ideal for mothers who don't love roller coasters :) You've probably seen it before. It goes around ... and up and down some too. Sometimes its flying elephants ... or flying carpets ... or rockets ... Here, it's flying dinosaurs ...
After a few rides on the flying dinosaurs -- thankfully there wasn't a line yet -- Little Napper was ready to crash for a bit ...
Chinese food for lunch ...
Hand in hand ...

It all looks very fun,except the mountain roller coaster ride! Since I may never go to Disney, it is very interesting to see it in your photos.

Thanks, LBB :) M & D ... that's why I'm explaining it somewhat ... and not assuming everyone already knows all about Disney :)
