Animal Kingdom, Walt Disney World

No, I’m not back at Disney. It has been over a year since my last visit and I currently do not have any plans to return. I’ve gone off on my reasons in previous posts so I won’t bore you with repetition. I guess I’m feeling a little nostalgic looking through my catalog of images. I also realized I have a lot of images from last year that I haven’t shared. So, this is a warning to expect some incoming Disney pics… 🙂

Pangani Forest Exploration Trail

Posted by Mike on

The Animal Kingdom park at Walt Disney World has never received the respect I think it is due. Most tote the park as a half day visit but if you only invest that much time you are missing out on a plethora of opportunities. Last year in May when I had my first solo photography visit to WDW I discovered areas of the Animal Kingdom I had never seen in any of my previous visits. Now I know to slow down and look in every nook and cranny of this wonderful park.

One of my favorite areas to explore is the Pangani Forest Exploration Trail which is accessed very near the exit for the Kilimanjaro Safari ride. There are an amazing amount of animals on display and for someone with a camera the available views are very natural. On this last visit the gorillas were not afraid of the midday sun and I was able to get some nice images of the adult silverback.
