travelmagicstg2014-07-07T07:00:00-04:00July 7, 2014|Animal Kingdom|0 Comments

A year or so ago, I was invited to a runDisney event as a VIP, and the host hotel was the Animal Kingdom Lodge. The hospitality suite for all of us happened to be inside the Presidential suite, so I had the chance to hang out in this gorgeous setting for a few days. This suite has two bedrooms, two and a half bathrooms, and around 2,115 sq. feet, This suite is located on the fifth floor close to the lobby. This suite comes complete with a kitchen (although who wants to be in the kitchen on vacation?) This kitchen [...]

Here you will find Conservation Station, a real live working conservation, education and rehabilitation center for animals.

Magical Memories – Dinoland USA

Magical Memories - Dinoland USA One of our favorite areas of Animal Kingdom at Walt Disney World is Dinoland USA. There is so much to do there! Our 1st stop is always the Boneyard. Robert has so much fun digging for bones in the giant dig site. Then he spends so much time running off his extra energy through the catwalks and tunnels. After spending some time in the Boneyard, we make our way into Chester & Hester’s Dino-Rama. Here the fun continues with rides, characters, snack shops, and carnival games. We have taken many spins on Tricera Top Spin [...]
