Celebrating the Holidays at Walt Disney World – Animal Kingdom

Posted on by AllEars
As soon as you reach the Animal Kingdom entrance, you see a huge Christmas tree decorated with what else? Animals! It’s simply beautiful, and in some ways, it resembles the one in the Animal Kingdom Lodge, though any similar ornaments are remarkably bigger. Within the park itself, you won’t see much changed for the holidays, … Continue reading "Celebrating the Holidays at Walt Disney World – Animal Kingdom"

A Visit to The Oasis in Animal Kingdom

Posted on by Steve Barrett
I enjoy visiting Disney’s Animal Kingdom. Some folks don’t consider that this park has a full day’s worth of activities, but I beg to differ. The Animal Kingdom has plenty to offer, especially if you can slow down and observe the animals after first enjoying the headliner attractions. I like to spend time in The … Continue reading "A Visit to The Oasis in Animal Kingdom"
