Walt Disney World 2013: Day 5 -- Animal Kingdom

Mickey at the Tusker's House
What better way to begin our visit in Animal Kingdom by going on the Kilimanjaro Safari Express. We had an amazing adventure in an old truck visiting African animals in their habitat.

The safari is on an old expedition truck. See the rhino?
Lot's of giraffe's to be seen, one this close to the truck.

If these guys decide to charge...
I heard from other passengers the ostrich decided to attack a truck that day.
It was followed by a train ride and a walk to a smaller part of the safari.

A train ride to a hidden place in Animal Kingdom. This once did we get to see some of the internals of the park.

This little guy was very entertaining
Our lunch at the Tusker House Restaurant was excellent. Everyone made acquaintance with the restaurant’s owners, Mickey Mouse, Daisy Duck and Goofy. Mickey even proposed to Thelma. What a guy!

Waiting for our reservation
What a chick :)
A guy's guy
He's probably as wild as Prince Harry
A real CEO
He proposed to Thelma.

Wouldn't leave without having a picture with me. 

The cafeteria part of Tusker's House. The food is actually good there.

After a few rides on Dinosaur and on Expedition Everest, we got to enjoy both the Dino Park and Asia. In Dinoland USA there’s a great play park the kids love so much.

I personally liked the ambiance in the Asia area. We liked watching the monkeys go from structure to structure, and the tiger that just laid there by the pool. Too bad the Kali River Rapid ride was closed. Next time, Sabrina.

Someone's coming down. Could be Suzanne
Monkeys were having a great time.

If you go to Animal Kingdom, you have to watch Mickey’s Jamming Jungle Parade. The costumes are great and inventive, the mood fun and exciting. A great experience to have.


Guys on stilts.
I love this bird. I'd like to build one for Halloween

We completed the day watching the great musical: Finding Nemo. We then had dinner at the Yak & Yeti restaurant. Our reservations were a bit late though, and we got to close the restaurant and the park. It was a bit eery to walk alone in the dark at Animal Kingdom. We were almost alone on the bus too.


The Nemo show. Excellent!
Decorations in our restaurant.

We got the bus to ourself, almost.
