Waking Up To Exotic Animals...

As I sit here looking over the balcony, I'm truly amazed at how Disney World has put all this together. Animal Kingdom is an AWESOME place!

Our goal is to visit all the DVC (Disney Vacation Club) resorts at Disney World, and the Animal Kingdom Lodge was on the list for me, but Cindy only agreed to it for my sake. Now she wants to come back. :-)

How cool is it to wake up with all types of exotic animals in your 'backyard'?... AND NONE of the zoo smells!

We pulled the curtains back a little before 8am, to find giraffe, giselle, antelope, wilderbeast and some type of vulture, all just coexisting, minding their own business and feeding...

After the folks came to get our bags for the cruise, we went down to the quick service restaurant Mara to get breakfast. It was pretty crowded, so we brought the food back to our room and ate while watching the animals.

It is really great to experience this, and whether you have children or not, you should stay at the Animal Kingdom Lodge, at least once.

We stayed in a Deluxe Studio Savanna View, and when we come back, we will definitely get a Savanna View room.

Animal Kingdom For A Day...

After a long day starting at 8:00am Saturday morning, Cindy and I finally arrived at the Jambo House at Disney World's Animal Kingdom Lodge.

It was around 6:30pm when we finally got up to our room, and dusk was starting to set in, so we went straight to our balcony, just in time to see a couple of giraffes and I believe a wilderbeast... And a rabbit :-)

That was really COOL! Where else can you look from your bedroom balcony and see safari animals? Ok, there may be some other places, but I've never been there!

After marveling at the whole scenario, we went down to Boma's to eat dinner. That was another really nice experience, and I recommend it to anyone.

It is an African quisine, buffet style restarurant, but has the normal American dishes, so you can't go wrong.

We left Boma's and went to Magic Kingdom to view the "Wishes" fireworks display, mulled around for a little bit and went back to the Animal Kingdom Lodge to get some rest.

Tomorrow (Sunday) we'll be leaving for our 4-night Disney Cruise, and we're both excited!... Woo Hoo!... Can't wait!

Animal Kingdom's Tusker House Restaurant

Disney World's Animal Kingdom Theme Park has a really nice buffet style restaurant called Tusker House.

It serves breakfast, lunch and dinner, but only breakfast has character dining.

I had an opportunity to enjoy the breakfast with Cindy, along with my daughter Luvenia and granddaughter Fernan. We all had a great time and the food was pretty good.
