In the morning, we head to Animal Kingdom, a hybrid of Zoo and theme park where live animals are presented in a setting which presumably resembles their natural habitat (with some temple ruins thrown in in the case of the South-East Asia sector. The African Safari has probably evolved from the original jungle cruise which still exists in the Magic Kingdom, just with real live animals instead animated, mechanical ones. We had gone on the Jungle cruise the day before, twice once in the morning and late at night after the firework, when it was much less crowded. There we noticed that even the jokes of the ever smiling friendly cast-member guides which drive the boats, are completely scripted and thus identical. Except the second guide, after presumably a particularly long and stressful day is throwing in some sarcasm for free



After getting completely soaked by a water ride (the weather is unseasonably cold for Florida), we pass by the hotel to get changed and go for the rest of the day to MGM Studios, a theme park based on Hollywood. A lot of the attractions are around movie sets and stunts. Presumably the facility includes parts of a real working studio, but since movie sets are inherently fake and illusionionary, it is hard to tell what is real fake and what is fake fake, i.e. what is part of a real working studio and what is simply there for creating the illusion of a working studio for the benefit of the masses passing through on a tour.
