This photo was taken in Animal Kingdom overlooking the Discovery River in the direction of Asia.  In the original trivia question post, I cropped the mountain of Expedition Everest out from the right-hand side of the picture.  I didn’t want to make it too easy!  You can see the full picture below.

Over a year ago, I wrote a review of Walt Disney World’s Expedition Everest in Animal Kingdom. Today, I’m sharing some pictures of the thrill ride. You can see pictures of the interior of the ride after the jump.

On your next trip to Walt Disney World, don’t miss the Kilimanjaro Safaris in the Africa section of Disney’s Animal Kingdom. This is a ride that’s fun to ride over and over again, and it’s great for kids of all ages. You never know what animals you’re going to see and what those animals will be doing as you drive by in your free roaming safari vehicle.
My kids have loved Kilimanjaro Safaris since we first started taking them on it when they were just 13-months old. At first, they loved the ride because there was so much to look at. …read more

The new Yak & Yeti restaurant in Disney’s Animal Kingdom has been fully opened for about six weeks now (although previews started on Thanksgiving), and I finally had a chance to eat there yesterday. I took some pictures during my visit, which I’m including in this post (sorry I’m not the best photographer).

I wasn’t sure what to expect from the newest table service restaurant at Disney’s Animal Kingdom, but I left the Yak & Yeti very satisfied and very full!

Last month, I wrote a post about the new Anandapur Yak & Yeti restaurant that is scheduled to open in the Asia section of the Animal Kingdom later this year.  It looks like that won’t be the only restaurant change scheduled for the Animal Kingdom in 2007.  In fact, several changes are on the way.
Much to my father’s dismay, Tusker House Restaurant in the Africa section of Animal Kingdom will close for refurbishment on August 20, 2007.  When it reopens on November 18th, it will have changed from a quick-service restaurant to a buffet restaurant serving breakfast, lunch and dinner.  Let’s …read more

Disney’s Animal Kingdom is creating a new restaurant to complement their latest thrill ride, Expedition Everest.  The restaurant will open in the Asia section of Animal Kingdom and will be called Anandapur Yak & Yeti Restaurant.  It will feature an Asian menu and provide both full service and counter service dining options.  A gift shop will also open as part of the dining experience, which will feature Asian items like teapots, dinnerware and chopsticks.

For the first time, my family and I watched the Pocahontas and Her Forest Friends show at Walt Disney World’s Animal Kingdom this past weekend.  My triplets are nearly three years old now, and it seemed like the perfect time to take them to a show where they could see forest animals close up.  Unfortunately, we left the show with the consensus among us that it was boring.

In true Disney tradition, the newest attraction at Walt Disney World’s Animal Kingdom, Expedition Everest, is not just a thrill ride but also a suspenseful story in a realistic setting.  The experience begins as you enter the Animal Kingdom and see Mt. Everest towering over the Central Florida horizon.  Next, head toward the Asia section of the Animal Kingdom park and pick up a Fast Pass if the wait is too long for you.  If you can’t wait another second to start your expedition, join the line and your adventure will begin.

For the first time, Walt Disney World has taken a popular animated film and turned it into a live musical show at Disney’s Animal Kingdom. I went to the preview of this attraction in late 2006 with an open mind and was thrilled to see Walt Disney succeeded again.
