Animal Kingdom Lodge and Shadows

I love the early morning and watching the day come to life. Most mornings this was the view of the sun rising over the resort buildings. Even at this early hour of the day it would be quite humid. 











Most days because of the heat, we would return to our room for a short while before heading to a different park for the evening. Our balcony in the afternoons was a wonderful place to find shadows.

Afternoon was a great time to see animals too.
I enjoyed sitting on the balcony watching them.
Sometimes they would be off in the distance.

While other times they would be much closer.

If there wasn't many to be found in the savanna of our room, then I would go down to the lobby viewing area to see if there were any stirring around there. The window was three stories tall and such a beautiful sight.









The many pathways around the resort are lined with plants, flowers and shrubs. Speakers are hidden among them playing African music softly.

I found two particular ones to be especially interesting
These two had similar flowers but one was a tree like plant while the other was more of a bush.

The flowers felt almost rubbery to touch. I asked a couple of the people working there if they knew what the plants are, but they did not. They mainly knew about the animals. I guess not many inquire about the landscaping.


Anyway, this is a few more of the many, many photos I took during our Disney World Vacation. All of the ones posted here were taken at Animal Kingdom Lodge - Kidani Village. It is a very nice place to stay and quite interesting too, being able to view the animals and to learn about them. It is very animal friendly too. You are not allowed to hang anything on the balcony. (No beach towels etc...) No balloons are allowed at the resort or in the Animal Kingdom Park. Also no plastic straws, all the straws are paper. It's very different using a paper straw. 

Even the lights in the animal viewing area are animal friendly.
The entire outside of the lights are covered with corn. I suppose so that if the decorations were to fall off the animals would not be harmed by them if they ate them. Disney does think of everything!


The only thing that we didn't like about the resort is the fact that it is so far away from everything other than Animal Kingdom Park. But, I guess you can't have everything.

Happy Sunday, Everyone!!

Our Disney Vacation - The Resort

Our Disney vacation is over. We had a wonderful time and have lots of souvenirs and memories, not to mention photos, to help us remember the fun.
Below is a few photos from our journey into the Magical World of Disney!

  

Flying above the clouds and stormy weather into Orlando. 

Then on to the Magical Express Bus to our resort.

We stayed in Animal Kingdom Lodge - Kidani Village. Which is the time share villas.

(My sister and her husband have the timeshare) It is a really nice place, but a good distance away from everything except the Animal Kingdom Park.

Staff members from the Sanaa Restaurant at the resort. It smelled so good walking by.














We had a balcony that was accessible from both bedrooms and the living room that looked out over the savanna. Below are a couple of the photos taken from that balcony of the beautiful sunrise and the animals.

Well that is all I have time for today, but be sure to visit again as I will be posting more photos from our trip as I get them loaded and organized on my computer.


Hope you take the time to leave me a comment or two, I always enjoy hearing from those that stop by for a visit!
