Expedition everest ride

I had the pleasure of going to Disney’s Animal Kingdom theme park the other day. While there I went on Expedition Everest, the cool roller coaster they have. It was a longer ride than I expected with lots of curves, plunges and surprises.

I decided to make a picture gallery of the ride, plus a lot of the other rides that are close by at Dinosaur land. That’s the area that has a lot of things for little kids to play in and on.

So check out the gallery below and take a peek at Expedition Everest and the other rides and attractions nearby. Make sure you go to Disney’s Animal Kingdom if you have never been, it’s a blast!

To use this picture gallery, click on the first picture and the picture show will start. Click the arrow in the right bottom corner to go to the next picture. Click inside the picture at any time to exit the picture gallery.

Epcot Food And Wine Festival Picture Gallery

Disney Epcot festival

I just got back from this years Disney’s Epcot food and wine festival. I went today with the main purpose of sampling many of the “round the world” foods you can eat at all the country “marketplaces” they have out.

Those are the little food booths they have out during the festival. What your suppose to be able to do is sample each countries popular, or classic dishes that are known for each country.

Sounds like a great idea! However I must say I was very disappointed. Because they have to deal with masses of people, they basically pick whatever kind of food that will hold up well being mass produced and sitting in a heating table outside all day.

Disney’s Animal Kingdom picture gallery

Disney's animal kingdom

After more than 5 or so years I finally got around to going back to Disney’s Animal Kingdom the other day. Fall is a great time to go now that the crowds are gone and it’s a bit cooler out.

I had forgot just how big the park is, it really is a big park. Much of it was exactly the same as it was years ago when I last went. But one big new attraction was the Expedition Everest roller coaster.

I got into the single rider line and hopped right on, but even the normal line was only 10 minutes long. In the summer it’s often one to two hours wait time. They did a great job making it look like a real mountain.
