Great photos from both AKL and the Tree of Life--I've spent a lot of time just looking at the carvings, but somehow am in too much awe to remember to take photos!
everybody for your kind comments about my. Cheryl, it is particularly gratifying to get a compliment from YOU, oh goddess of Disney photography.
OK, now back to our story.
I'd experienced It's Tough to Be a Bug before getting all those Tree of Life photos, and now it was time to play some more. I set out for the Single Rider Line (SRL) of Expedition Everest (EE). It was a mostly-cloudy day, so this is probably the least attractive photo I've ever taken of the Himalayas, but in the spirit of accuracy, here 'tis:
I rode it several times and always made friends with my seat mate, which on this trip was always a male. I like to try taking photos from the top of the mountain.
Hey buddy, can you identify any animals on the Tree of Life from here?
Of course, I totally "cheated" on this next one, zooming like mad to get a pic of my favorite attraction in all of WDW:
And I always have to get a shot of the Yeti's silhouette as he tears up the tracks, which is easy to do without a flash:
I stopped for some silly pics -- I think this was at the DVC booth not far from the Minnie-Mickey Trail.
Of course, I had to push past my innate shyness to ask the DVC rep to take those photos.
Who isn't thrilled every time they catch a glimpse of DeVine?
I'd made myself a lunch ressie at Yak & Yeti and enjoyed the decorations upstairs:
This was my first time doing the Table Service there, and I was disappointed in the food. (I’d enjoyed counter service with Sandy & her family last March, so maybe I ordered the wrong thing this time – Lo Mein with Chicken. I found it a totally ho-hum dish.) Oh well – I simply pushed the plate away and knew I’d be extra-hungry for dinner at Boma later!
I work for an architectural firm, and we recently offered last year's summer intern a full-time position. He grew up in Orlando and is a huge WDW fan, so he and I will give a lunchtime presentation on the “Architecture of Walt Disney World” sometime this spring or summer. So I took advantage of my solo day at the AK to get lots of “detail shots” that will (hopefully) impress our architects (who are mostly non-Disney folks). The Animal Kingdom is chock full of great details. I hope you’re happy with this selection – get comfy again, because this could take awhile, too!
Whether or not we consciously notice all these details, our eyes and brains are taking them all in -- fully immersing us into Disney's Animal Kingdom.
For me, the #1 fascination with WDW is in the details -- every place you look contains something marvelous, fantastic, beautiful, and totally in character with the "world" Disney has created just for you. (Well, just for ME, actually, but I don't mind sharing with you. )
