Animal Kingdom in January / Walt Disney World / Kilimanjaro Safari Ride

Yesterday I was at Disney World with some special friends who about to leave for the mission field in Hungary.  Here are a few photos from the Kilimanjaro Safari Ride at Animal Kingdom.  The day before was terrible weather with heavy rains.  Yesterday was a beautiful winter day in Florida, beautiful blue skies and a bit cool especially as the sun was going down.   Many of the animals were soaking up some rays as you will see.  :)  If you visit this park, remember that it is the earliest of the four parks to close--5:00 p.m. yesterday--due to rounding up the animals for the night, feeding, veterinarian checking them out, etc.  If your ticket is a Park Hopper Pass, you can still park here and catch a bus to any of the other parks, then return for your car.

HERE is a  YouTube video of this  fun ride.  It's about 30-40 minutes long.

As with all the parks, the details are fun to look for. 

On the drive home I couldn't resist taking  these photos of Orlando in the setting sun.  One of my sons gave me a photography book for Christmas that has been teaching me about lighting. The author was right...the afternoon (and morning) sunlight casts beautiful shadows and color.  :)
