Disney is great in that you are in Central Florida but oh the places they let you go. One of the coolest things they let you do is hands down bring the plains of Africa to you when you head to Disney's Animal Kingdom and take a ride on Kilimanjaro Safaris.

This ride is a wonder. First, because you get to go and discover wild animals you never get to ride the same ride twice. There is always something new to discover every time you ride. I've been riding this ride since 1999 and it's still gives me the same excitement as it did the first time. It's one of the largest attractions on property at Disney and you get to take 18 or so minutes out of your day and re-discover how awesome nature is. And always be on the lookout for a new baby giraffe or elephant - they never disappoint to delight and entertain. And with the addition of night life coming to Animal Kingdom they will be adding night time safaris! It will a whole new experience including getting to use night vision goggles. Night life is being delayed (Rivers of Light was to start April 22 but has been moved to May. #ThanksShanghai) but it should be in full swing as summer gets into full swing. We cannot wait! And kudos to the cast members who work this ride - they are actually driving your ride vehicle while reciting a script and pointing out all the animals. I absolutely recommend using a fastpass on this ride because it is very popular and always has a pretty hefty wait time. A definite must do!
