Maddy is 14 - we can't quite believe it! For her big birthday surprise we took her and Mya to the Wild Africa Trek at Animal Kingdom. (Disney link here!) She had absolutely no idea:)
For the special tour, you get two Disney tour guides for a small group of about 10-12 people so you can ask anything you want to know about the animals throughout the 3-hour experience. They were incredibly knowledgeable and took photos of everything as part of the package for the day. They have those really good cameras (and photography skills:)) so you can completely focus on just enjoying the experience :)
We started out with a hike through the forest...
and stopped to feed the hippos...
The girls were fearless on the rope bridges!
Even directly over the crocodiles...
No hands!
We got within a few feet of the crocs but stayed safely above them. Thankfully they are not good at jumping :)
After the crocodiles we went out to a little hut to have an African-themed lunch on the savanna surrounded by the animals...
And then we had a guided tour back to the pick up point...
It was perfect:)
Safari trekking is hot work so after a little rest the girls finished up the day in the pool with Maddy's new inflatable...
Thank you Mya for helping us give Maddy such a special birthday :)
An amazing day for an amazing young lady...we love you Maddy - Happy Birthday!!!
