ICYMI: A Day At Animal Kingdom
Mickey Blog spends a lot of time at Walt Disney World – obviously. However, I find that some of my favorite of Greg Antonelle’s live vlogs happen within the confines of Disney’s Animal Kingdom.
I just never have the ability to stroll like Greg. When I am there, DAK tends to be a half-day park; a filler on the way to Galaxy’s Edge or Adventureland or World Showcase. My family rarely makes it a destination.
And, frankly, we miss out.
Natural Nature
Greg, channeling famous wordsmith Yogi Berra, spoke eloquently of the park on Thursday when he said, “This is the beauty of Animal Kingdom. Here you get to see nature in its natural habitat.”
I totally get the sentiments of our favorite blogger, who really took us on a relaxing stroll.
From shopping to safari to gorillas to Pandora. It was a beautiful blue-sky day.
Animals everywhere…
Including Experiment 626.
Gorgeous views…
More animals on safari.
Lazy Thursday with the gorillas.
Architecture from around the world.
And character cavalcades.
And, finally, a pretty out of this world view:
But hey, what is more natural at Walt Disney World than imagination? Anyway, the boilerplate for the final land on Greg’s journey reads:
There’s more to Pandora than expeditions like Avatar Flight of Passage and Na’vi River Journey… much more! All around its enormous floating mountains, you’ll quickly uncover the valley’s one-of-a-kind dining and shopping experiences—along with sights, sounds and experiences that include:
- Exotic plants that come to life with beautiful bioluminescence each night
- A Na’vi-built drum circle, containing instruments playable by all
- Na’vi totems and other cultural items found throughout the land
- Brand-new Wilderness Explorers challenges and badges to collect
You may even come across tour guides from Alpha Centauri Expeditions (ACE), scientists from the Pandora Conservation Initiative (PCI), or even an eclectic expat or two!
But seeing is believing:
