Lions and Tigers and Bears....Oh My!!

Another Disney park today. We are so enjoying the annual passes along with the Medleys. Today we left early in the morning and headed for Animal Kingdom. Each park has a HUGE tree at the entrance, decorated by theme. This of course was laden with animals.....

And today's roller coaster was Mt Everest. This is the back of the ride.

And this is the actual ride most of which is in the dark of the mountain.

Salt and I never saw Nemo the Musical ....it is one of the main attractions and the lines are always SO long. Since it was the middle of the week and early in the morning, we were the first group to go in. It was FABULOUS!

All of the parts were played by humans....including the coral. I think if I ever decide to get a part time job, I would like to be a piece of coral at Disney......

OR....maybe a jellyfish.

And of course, all the entertainment along the streets. We kind of felt like we were back in the Bahamas.

The Lion King ....another live show that is so uplifting. Hakuna Matata .....mans now worries for the rest of your life!!!

On to the Safari...the amazing Mbuyu tree....looks as if it is growing upside down. The huge trunk stores water so the tree can live in the desert.

It was a warm day so most all of the animals were out sunning themselves.

Monkeys, Apes and Gorillas.....

Wally and Linda with their "happy hats".

Yours truly with my honey.....

And us again just to show the actual (almost) size of the tree.

Made a stop at Wilderness Lodge for a quick look at the decorations in the lobby.

And a quick trip into Magic Kingdom to see the decorations and the parade.

We stayed until dark so we could see the castle with the Christmas lights. Here it is in just the blue lights and then.....

as it changes color......BEAUTIFUL!
