welcome to the callenharty.com disney world trip day eight page


Day Eight was spent at Animal Kingdom, which proved to be the highlight of the Disney Parks. The animals are made to seem as free to move about as any of the people, but are really behind moats and other structures that are unseen by the people and that keep them separate. But instead of being behind cages they were almost all out in the open.
