The Tea Monologues | Disney's Animal Kingdom

Let me take you on an adventure to Disney's Animal Kingdom.


It is a spectacular park (even when you get caught in the tail end of a hurricane where the huge leaves provide excellent alternatives to umbrellas). 

The first thing you see is this:


The Tree of Life. With several hundred carvings, a series of waterfalls, and the home to those little bugs from A Bug's Life in It's Tough To Be A Bug, you really can't go wrong. 

It also has some of the best photo spots.



Let's all ignore the scars on my face!

Our first stop is a 2 weeks trip on Kilimanjaro Safaris.




At the exit of Kilimanjaro Safaris, and on the other side of Animal Kingdom, are two exploration trails; Maharajah Jungle Trek and the Pangani Forest Exploration Trail. 


They are home to so many awesome animals - the perfect place to get some brilliant photos.

Whilst you are over that way, why not check out the Festival of the Lion King?



Can you feel the love tonight?

I bumped into these two wandering around, too!



Oh oo-be-do, not sure I want to be like you-o-o!

Although this is all quite fun, the place to be is at Finding Nemo: The Musical in Dinoland USA - just keep swimming, or go with the flow, whichever takes your fancy! Just don't let the sea monkey take your money. And yes, I can confirm that Dory is a natural blue.


No trip to Dinoland would be complete without jumping on a Time Rover to find an iguanodon now, would it?


"We're not gonna make it, we're not gonna make it!!"

Sorry if you were ever on this ride with me...yes, I am that annoying person who quotes specific parts of the script. 


Next, I think it's time to find the Yeti to keep the dinosaur company.



I have a few rather amusing ride photos from this....

You know, I have also managed to avoid getting a complete soaking on Kali River Rapids. I am not really sure how considering everyone else walks off completely drenched! I like to think this of quite a big achievement. 


Finally, for the first time in forever (sorry) I went to see Flights of Wonder. I haven't seen this show in yonks because we generally seem to avoid it. I found it quite amusing, especially when the parrot sings...I am easily amused really.


On my way out I spotted DeVine - that's some pretty good camouflage.



That conclude my little wander around Disney's Animal Kingdom. Obviously I have way more photos than this...I may do a separate post for Kilimanjaro Safaris because I have about 100 photos from that ride. 

Join me next time for a day in a different park!

Tell me in the comments what your favourite part of Animal Kingdom is!

As always, thanks for visiting and I shall see you next time!

My Walt Disney World Bucket List



As you may know if you have seen my Twitter for the last...65 days, I am heading back to Walt Disney World in now only 24 days! 

Yes, I have been counting for over 70 days. No, I am not ashamed. Yes, I am extremely excited! 

I have figured this out to be about my 8th trip, but the numbers may not be entirely accurate. And, as I am sure many of you will ask, I am not sick of it!

We are doing things slightly differently this time. We are still staying at the Port Orleans French Quarter, near-ish Downtown Disney for all you Disnerds out there. 

But this time we get to fly in a bit more luxury as we are going with Virgin Atlantic again! We haven't flown with them in so long (I not-so-secretly have my fingers crossed for their new Dream Liner!). 

Thanks to My Disney Experience we have been able to use the FastPass+ service and have actually booked all our FastPasses for our entire 2 week visit. So if you are heading there any time soon I would definitely recommend it - either online or on their app (Apple and Android compatible). 

So, I sat down in my crazily excited mood and wrote out 28 things I want to do over the two weeks in Disney. Once I am back I will do an updated bucket list with pictures, and I am also hoping to do a few videos whilst I am over there, so watch this space! 




1. Go on the Magical Express

2. See the Magic Kingdom rope drop

3. Do a round trip on the monorail
