Wordless Wednesday: The Tree of Life Awakens

As Disney’s Animal Kingdom adds more “nighttime” things to do at this park, one of the most delightful additions is the nightly “awakening” of the Tree of Life. Each evening after nightfall, every 10 minutes or so, flickering fireflies magically appear  on the Tree of Life and they “awaken” all of the animal spirits that are carved into the tree’s towering trunk. It’s beautiful and mesmerizing and definitely something to take a few minutes to watch.

Wordless Wednesday: Exploring Animal Kingdom Lodge

I am a big fan of taking time to visit the Disney resorts. They are fascinating and fun to check out, with many having activities – to say nothing of great food – that are available to anyone, not just the resort Guests. Two of the best resorts to explore are Animal Kingdom Lodge and it’s sister resort, Kidani Village. Both are LOVELY, filled with lots of beautiful African art and design elements. They both have fabulous restaurants too! But the highlight of course, are the animals. You can observe them from many locations around the resorts, and taking the time to wander around the peaceful paths that surround the hotel, will give you a chance to learn a few things too. Fun AND learning. What a great combination! Read more
