Animal Kingdom 2


 Sunday and we're back at Animal Kingdom.



Jack is our RDP - Rapid Deployment Person.  We deploy him to run ahead and get Fast Passes which is a ticket for a ride at a later time without queuing. You can only hold one Fast Pass at a time and they go quite quickly.  This is Jack holding the very first Fast Pass of the day - he has outrun all the other Disney goers to get the first tickets for Expedition Everest.  Top work!

We went out to the Rafiki Planet Watch  - the veterinary/educational area of the park where you can handle reptiles etc.  There are glass windows all round so you can watch procedures by surgeons on the animals.  Fortunately there weren't any scheduled when we were there but if we'd waited we could have seen a porcupine having a blood sample taken.  In Busch Gardens they have a similar set up and we saw a duck billed platypus having it's annual check up.   The surgeon talks you through it as he's going along and you can ask questions from the viewing side...it's very interesting.


Not sure this one really fits.
