disney's animal kingdom

Known by the time, I went, as A Celebration of Festival of The Lion King, sure I didn't see the jumping monkeys or the flying birds, but what they did in this abridged version was still impressive

Hello everyone. My name is Dave and I usually spend my time running around recording stuff inside the Disney & SeaWorld bubbles. I grew up in Orlando and live 5 mins from Disney currently. I look forward to sharing info and taking part in this community! I hope I can provide some great news...

::LONG SHOT:: So my family was recently given a 55 gallon aquarium. We’ve decided on an “Animal Kingdom” tank. We’re looking for items to represent the different lands. I actually have Pandora covered, but I’m looking for items for Africa. It’s a long shot but does anyone know someone who does...

He wasn't pictured, but we were all pointing as we're pretending that Stitch actually came out of the ground.

That was before we left the Animal Kingdom for this trip, we took some silly photos near the Tree of Life area.

She missed her picture with me and my big sis, she met Donald Duck by herself.

He was over at the former Camp Minnie-Mickey area in his dark green park ranger suit.

When he saw my Sofia pin, he danced with me right away.(because of DJR's Lion Guard, airing on the same channel as Sofia)

I have my page ready for Baloo, Louie doesn't sign(because of his unmovable fingers on his hands), it wasn't my first time with Baloo, but it was my first time meeting Louie.

I was talking to Russell from the Disney/Pixar film, Up about some random stuff involving the movie and about my first time seeing him(when the movie was new)at Hollywood Studios.

I met up with the stars of Jungle Book(1967, not the 2016 film where they're CGI'd), fan favorite TaleSpin, and Jungle Cubs(which I won't talk about)

He was a newbie for me, prior to that I only saw him in parades and street parties at the Magic Kingdom.

I gave ol' papa bear Baloo one of these hugs that almost everybody talks about.

I gave him another hug, the first hug isn't pictured. He is such a great character to see, especially from a film that was wildly popular when it came out.

He is always at his Planet Watch, where he greets his fans by a tree.

I feel that she needed another hug, because she doesn't get enough attention. After that I kissed her hand, and the people waiting in line were saying Awwww!!! to me, because of the kiss.

I'm letting her hold my arm for me, and sorry for my weird face again.

I talked to her about some of my pins, including one that she's never seen before, Sofia(she Poca's a Disney princess), she agrees that would like to see Sofia someday.

Yet another signature, to break even doing another meet and greet that caused to be a 20-25 minute wait.

Prior to this day, I've never seen a line this long to meet Pocahontas. She was at the former Boat Landing Dropoffs.
