It was cold but sunny when we ventured over to the Disney's Animal Kingdom to see the "wild side" of Disney.
One of the first things you notice when you walk in is the gigantic Tree of Life in the center of the park.
We didn't do all the rides, but the ones we did were great! If you're a thrill seeker (or if you want to catch a glimpse of a Yeti) don't miss Expedition Everest!

The Dinosaur ride was fun and reminded us of the Indiana Jones ride at Disneyland.
As one might expect, we also saw lots and lots of animals, both on the Kilimanjaro Safari ride, which takes you on safari through the African savanna, and on the walking paths that meandered through the park forest. Here are photos of just a few of the animals we saw in the park:
There are also several great shows in the park. We caught the "It's Tough to be a Bug!" show in 3D in the theatre at the base of the Tree of Life.

The stage production of Finding Nemo--The Musical, was also impressive. We had a return time to see the Festival of the Lion King musical production, but when we arrived for the show, all the remaining shows for the day had been mysteriously cancelled. Later, we found out that there had been a fire during the previous show (thank goodness it didn't happen during our show!).
We also did a lot of character meet and greets. Our oldest is pretty much taking a "pass" on these and disappears as soon as we get in line, but our youngest is still eager to have a quick chat and get a picture with some of his faves.
O couldn't resist playing rhythms on some authentic African drums.
