Capturing Disney in Pictures: A Fan’s Trip to Animal Kingdom
Animal Kingdom; tiger nap time.
Every photo has a story.
Chip & Company fan Maleah Moskoff, the owner of www.chachatea.net, made a recent trip to Walt Disney World’s Animal Kingdom last September. Maleah said of their theme park visit, “We always arrive at the opening hour of Animal Kingdom and head straight to the safari. After the safari, we walk through Asia and hope to catch tiger feeding time.” On this particular trip, Maleah snapped the above photo when they came across the tiger’s nap time.
Animal Kingdom: No butts about it...
Picture this…Right after their opening hour arrival at Animal Kingdom, Maleah took this shot of three rhinos. ”The lighting is great early in the morning, and the animals are just waking up. Plus, it’s not too hot yet. I love the picture of the three rhinos, and I may even have that framed. Our friends think we went to Africa when they see our Disney safari photos.”
Thanks, Maleah, for sending in your photo and your story, and thank you Chip & Company fans for coming along for a photographical ride!
