Disney’s Animal Kingdom Update

First up we have, what I believe will be an amazing addition to the park and keep people in the most beautiful of evening parks into the late hours next summer, Rivers of Light. This nighttime show looks to be a cross between Fantasmic! and World of Color on the water ways between Discovery Island and Expedition Everest.

First we have the walkway to Pandora which is being expanded to accommodate the flood of guest that will head right there for the first rides of the day.IMG_9298

Next we have a broader view of the Rivers of Light work with the large amount of cranes in the distance installing the world of Pandora and placing the walls around the massive show building.IMG_9260Now to warp up this update a bit of trivia. IMG_9281Did you know that the voices of the penguins, who figure they can’t fly a little to late, in Finding Nemo The Musical are actually Robert Lopez and Kristen Anderson-Lopez, the song writing duo of the show, Disney’s Frozen and such Broadway hits as Avenue Q and Book of Mormon?
