See adorable sleeping lions in Disney World Animal Kingdom Safari

If you have ever wanted to experience a safari trip that included interactions and first-hand encounters with a lion, there is a place that will accommodate central Florida. That place is Disney Worlds Animal Kingdom.

That is pretty exciting. The Animal Kingdom attraction has been a guest favorite for years. The attraction simulates an open-sided safari ride through their version of the savanna of East Africa.

When we got close to the area where the lions were, I was a little nervous that we would not be able to see one because it was in the middle of the day.

I was pleasantly surprised that we in fact got the opportunity to see them, although they were sound asleep. Which is fine with me, I’m not a fan of being around woke lions who may have an empty stomach.

The fact that the Disney lions were sleeping presented me with a fantastic opportunity to capture these massive intimidating cats at an adorable moment.

Below you will see adorable sleeping lions that we photographed at Disney Worlds Animal Kingdom.
