I want to run the Disney Marathon -- the fun-filled race that takes a goofy runner through all four of Disney theme parks seeking happy memories and to earn the celebrated prize of a Mickey Medal.
Well, today, I felt we came pretty close -- visiting three theme parks: Wild Animal in the morning and through the midday, Hollywood Studios in the afternoon and Epcot in the late and evening.
We were pleasantly surprised with the Kilimanjaro Safari which involved a real Jeep-like vehicle driven by a narrator who is seeking out real animals -- close up and personal. The journey took us over muddy trails and flowing creeks, and with large crocs and Simba croaching, we were definitely at the edge of our seats.
But there was one show that beat them all, even seeing the real-life Safari creatures, and that was the Cirque du Soleil-inspired stunts, dance and music showcased at the Festival of the Lion King -- a must see.
It was a delightful experience, featuring happy, powerful songs from the greatest animated movie of all time.
Safari Ride: Where we saw Nile crocodiles, Giraffes, Rhinoceroses, others and even a sleeping Lion, up front and very close.

Spectacular Festival of the Lion King show -- as big as Broadway combining the pageantry of a parade with tribal celebration.
