ICYMI: Mickey Blog Walk Around Disney’s Animal Kingdom (VIDEO)
One particular spot in Walt Disney World still intimidates the heck out of me – Disney’s Animal Kingdom.
First off, it’s big. Second, it’s hot. Or, because of the tropical setting and the many, many trees and amazing fauna – it feels hotter than elsewhere. Finally, I have no clear understanding of the layout.
However, thank goodness for happy MickeyBlog.com’s Editor-in-chief Greg Antonelle — not singing aloud this time — but singing the praises of the fourth Disney theme park in Florida. And, looking ahead, I think I need to give DAK a little more time, next time in.
