One of my must do’s in Disney’s Animal Kingdom is Kilimanjaro Safari which is located in the Africa section of the park. On this ride, you’ll set off in an open-air vehicle for a guided tour of an African savanna—and have the chance to spot all kinds of live animals roaming free! Read more

Hubby and I are both artists, making our living with writing, dancing, acting, and voice artistry, so we imagined our little princess growing up loving all things art.

One topic she is particularly interested in is dinosaurs. She has loved them since she was just bitty, and continues to think they are just amazing. Since we’ve been going to Disney, I’ve been looking forward to bringing her on Dinosaur, and when we go in September, the time will finally be here! Read more
