First day at Animal Kingdom & WDW was AWESOME!

Busy 24 hours.

Flew from Nor Cal (10:50pm - 9:30am). 11:30 am arrived at AK and were able to upgrade to a one bedroom Savanna view for the entire week! WOW! Can't believe we got that lucky! Had lunch at Sanaa ~ gave me heartburn ~ but the mango smoothies were the best I've ever had (though a little on the small side). The service and atmosphere were excellent. Went to our reserved Hoopdeedoo Dinner Theater at 8am after a nap. Really fun show & good food! Favorites were the corn bread & strawberry shortcake. Hoopdeedoo is a blast!.

Magic Kingdom had magic hours from 11pm to 1am so we closed the park (no lines at all except a 10min wait at Space Moutain). Returned home to our Savanna view. Great start to and epic vacation!

No Animals out our window... see for yourself! Soooo amazing! Took these photos today around 4pm from the back deck off our room. Many more deer & wildebeest plus various other animals & birds right from the back deck of our incredible room! Hardest part now is I want to spend more time in our room. What an incredible atmosphere to kick back after a run at the parks!

Aw, I miss it - I used to be a savannah guide. Make sure you chat to some of them :)

Quick note: there's almost no deer in Africa (and thus DAK Lodge) - they're all antelope. Those Ankole are new since I left. Awesome. Have a super time!

The secluded feel of the resort is why we made AKL our home resort. Nothing better than coming back to a quiet resort after being in the crowded parks all day. Have a great trip and a enjoy a meal at Boma for me.

Thx for educating me on that. We have just begun to use the identifying pamphlet in the room and are learning quite a bit more from the AK staff. What a fun place! :)
