First Safari

After getting caught in a torrential downpour at Hollywood Studios on Thursday night, we woke up Friday morning to find it was still raining. I suggested that we just go home since we can come back to the parks anytime, but Jonathan thought the rain was light enough that we could still enjoy our morning at Animal Kingdom. And he was right!

It was a fantastic visit. It was cool and the sun stayed hidden behind clouds. The rain kept people away so it wasn't crowded and there was no wait for rides. Best of all, the slightly stormy weather riled up the animals a bit and they were more active and alert than I've ever seen them.

We jumped on the Kilimanjaro Safari first thing because there was no wait at all. This is my favorite ride of all time. It is different every time! We had the best tour guide, yet. We got to see the wildebeast and the mandrils for the first time, I think. There were lots of new baby animals to see, and we got a great shot of the lioness keeping a watch over the savanna (no "h" when it's not the city. Just learned that :)

So great, we did it again.
