May 4th | Race Day | Animal Kingdom
Couldn’t decide between celebrating May the 4th, watching the F1 Miami GP, or visiting baby tiger Bakso at Disney's Animal Kingdom Theme Park … So naturally, we did all three. One minute we’re yelling “This is the way,” the next we’re screaming “Forza Ferrari!”—all while trying not to cry

When you’re trying to blend in with the Animal Kingdom vibes but still need to look cute enough for a photo with the Tree of Life. Serving safari looks that say “I could hike a trail,” but also, “not without AC nearby.” 😅 #disneyworld #disneyworldoutfitidea #animalkingdomoutfit #animalkingdo

WHAT WE DID IN ANIMAL KINGDOM
Animal kingdom is where you’ll see the most ids eg characters walking around. And where you’ll get some of the best treats. It was less busy than the other parks. The rides were still a little long, but they would have their off hours. #animalkingdompark #animalkingdom #animalkingdomdisn
