I think I have traveled more in the past two years than I have in the past ten. Once I hit high school family vacations came to a halt since I played sports year round and we could never seem to get the time to go anywhere. That all changed about two years ago when I joined my boyfriend in Orlando for his birthday and the final day of InfoComm, the convention we're heading back to the day after I get back from France. We stayed for ten days in late June (possibly the worst time to travel to Disney World) and started our first vacation together at the so-called happiest place on earth.

We stayed at the Animal Kingdom Lodge with a view of the savanna that only belongs in Africa. It was pretty surreal to wake up every morning and have the kind of view you only get on an African safari. We actually saw a giraffe fight, which was as odd at it sounds. I highly recommend googling a video of it. They basically just swing their entire necks and whack each other with them.
The food at Jiko was incredible. It being Disney, they even had a completely separate vegetarian menu that had some delicious choices on it. I'm always surprised to go to a restaurant and have options. We had some crazy good food there and ended up going back again for another dinner, which is saying something since we like to switch things up a lot night after night.
Here are some pictures from our visits to the Animal Kingdom Park, Magic Kingdom, Epcot and Hollywood Studios.
