Our day at Disney Animal Kingdom

Before we went on this trip, I had heard of Animal Kingdom but didn't know anything about it. In fact, the first bit of information I saw was a brochure, used for planning our visit on the night before we went to that park. Animal Kingdom closes at 5:00 in the afternoon, which is much earlier than the other parks close and yet it seemed like we did more in that day than the days when we went to the other parks. We went on a safari and saw lots of big African animals--like elephants, giraffes, hippos and rhinos. Also in Africa, we saw an animal show with lots of birds flying around doing tricks. We saw an insect's life show in the tree of life and then got wet in the Kali Rapids river ride. This wetness was just a taste of things to come as right after lunch, we all got drenched in a sudden downpour while waiting in line for the Finding Nemo show. The show was only around 30 minutes long, but when we came out of it, it was a bright sunny day and we finally all got dry. After that we did the Himalaya adventure and then some kind of walk through a park where there were animals, like giant bats, at various places along the trail. dbp
