Annie and I just took a week-long trip to Florida. In general, we don't support the state of Tim Tebow & Urban Meyer, but Annie had never been to Disney World. She's been to Disneyland about as many times as you've ever gone to the grocery store. So, she wanted to compare the two.
Anyway, the trip consisted of 4 days at a Disney World Resort, the Caribbean Beach Resort, and a park hopper for all four days, then 2.5 days with my aunt & uncle, who just retired to Ft. Myers.
When I hear the words "Animal Kingdom" in reference to Disney World, I honestly only have one ride in mind: everyone piled into a jeep driving through the back lot of a zoo. Apparently, the park was built around this concept. The ride I'm describing, Kilimanjaro Safaris, is hands-down the coolest ride there. Annie really liked the roller coaster, Expedition Everest, but I wanted the encounter with the Yeti to be way scarier. We both enjoyed the Lion King show, too.
At Animal Kingdom, we also rode the shittiest ride of the four days.
I was getting hot & thirsty, and I knew alcohol was going to be the only thing to help me survive the trip, so I was dragging Annie to the bar inside the park. On the way there, we stumbled upon a South African wine tasting. Nothing says ~RoB like wine tasting. So we both did it, and it was really fun, and it was pretty good wine. I'm changing my mind. Wine tasting was the best ride in Animal Kingdom. They only do it in Animal Kingdom for the month of June, and it's only 4pm to close. The coolest thing we found was Jam Jar, a sweet Shiraz. Highly recommended, check it out.
We ended the day with a ride on Kali River Rapids, which is a shittier version of Thunder Canyon, for all you Cedar Point buffs out there. I got more wet than I wanted to. Especially since we were heading to Cat Cora's new restaurant at the Boardwalk*, Kouzzina. The food was great, the atmosphere is always fun when there's an open kitchen, and the amount of food we got was more than we could handle.
We rode a ferry from there to Hollywood Studios, where we showed up 5 minutes late to Fantasmic. This was one of my surprisingly favorite things about Disneyland, and it held up at Disney World. We were going to take advantage of a bunch of rides since it stayed open later for Resort dwellers, but the lines were still ass-long. We snagged the Little Mermaid show, which sucked almost as much as Primeval Whirl. That's sad, cuz Ariel is smokin' hot. We got to ride the Star Wars simulator, then we went home to pass out, which finally happened at 2am or so.
Fuck is it hot & humid right now in Florida,

You meant Boardwalk, not Boulevard. And that pic isn't too bad for the oldest phone ever!
