Animal Kingdom

Disney Animal Kingdom by Jo and Tristram

The kids have been hanging out for this for months. Yesterday we started the world of Disney by going to the Animal Kingdom. Wow! What a big day… over 12 hours after we arrived at the park we left… exhausted. The kids were excited to go on rides, and experience all that is Disney.

Claire was so excited to take Ma on a roller coaster that she nearly couldn’t contain herself until our allotted time slot. Much to Ma’s disgust it was the biggest roughest roller coaster in the Park, Expedition Everest. Hugh, all 7 years of him, thinks he’s the bees knees cos he got to sit in the front row.

Lillian loved watching the River of Light, light and water show and thought that the Finding Nemo musical was great. She also discovered that large roller coasters aren’t for her and that she’ll happily leave that to the others thanks very much!

All the kids did an amazing job walking around the park and waiting in cues for the day. The Rivers of Light show was a fantastic finish to a great day.

Tristram reckons the food at the park was a major improvement on Washington DC street food!
