Car Masters at Downtown Disney

We headed over to Downtown Disney this morning, to check out Car Masters Weekend; even getting there before 11am the parking was crazy – the new parking garages remain a long time in the future and leave chaos meanwhile!
But once we were parked, the cars were fun to see – both favorites from the Cars movies, and real life American classics – and a few quite modern cars, too!

 

Alternate Wild Africa Trek

One of our favorite extra cost Disney tours is Wild Africa Trek at Animal Kingdom. We’ve done this tour a few times already (2011, 2012, 2013) but with Margaret’s Mum unable to climb rope ladders and bridges, we didn’t think it was suitable.
But Disney being Disney, of course there’s a solution – the “alternate” Wild Africa Trek which replaces the early rope bridge part of the tour with extra time parkside. I expected this to be a little less fun, but it turned out that today was the best yet; mostly because the animals really stepped up their game – pure luck – but if you take a photo like this, how can the day go wrong:

That picture was near the end of our tour, but we had an amazing time earlier with birds, Giraffe and of course the delicious lunch:
