Wild Africa Trek at Animal Kingdom

Posted on by Ian C.

We’ve been to Animal Kingdom many times, and I’ve always wished there was some sort of “backstage” tour to get closer to the Safari animals – and now there is! Margaret & I went on Wild Africa Trek with Joanne & Earle today, and had an excellent three hours in a small group with great guides, and some unusually close animal experiences …

Everyone is dressed in a safety harness; there’s a few bridges to cross, and they also use the harnesses to keep us not-too-close to the Hippos and Crocodiles! And then we’re off to see animals both on foot and on a truck – with lunch in the “savannah” with Giraffe and Elephants!

Separate to the “trek”, I also got some pictures of a Tiger, and Mickey Mouse!

Hot Epcot!

Posted on by Ian C.

I’m down here for the weekend for Mickey & MINI (see GBMINI here, here and here), and spent a while in Epcot this afternoon. It’s the International Food & Wine Festival, and it’s BUSY!

The “15” in flowers is for the 15th year of the festival.

It’s nice to walk around, but all the queues to try different food are long, and it’s crazy hot! I’ve headed back to 8002 to cool off …
