We moved out of Florida almost 5 years ago. My family loves seeing your videos. We miss Disney and Universal. You take us home every time.❤

i can confirm the kilimanjaro during rain point. my sister and i did it during the rain this january and the animals looked so happy. i’ve ridden kilimanjaro safari many many times and this was by far the most active i had ever seen them

Ever since the EPCOT hauls and continuing to take away from what made it so special imo, Animal has become my favorite of the Disney Parks for its cohesion (tho it looks as even it will sometime lose most of it too). It’s simply not a trip to Animal without doing Everest and Dinosaur for me, and Pandora is imo the best land Disney has built since trying to find the same success Universal had with Harry Potter.

Festival of The Lion King is a must-do show! It's so colorful and entertaining!

[traciecombs]

The Bird Show is a must do & AKs streetmousphere is just magical! Also...the Africa Trek experience is the best thing we've ever done! Can't recommend it enough!❤

This is the park I'm looking forward to. I haven't been to Disney since 1987, so lots of changes. But I'm an animal person, so this is what I'm looking forward to. Love me some EPCOT and I'm sure I'll love Hollywood Studios, especially the Star Wars area, but yeah.

[callieleechford]

Animal Kingdom at night is definitely the best! It’s so beautiful! Def an underrated park!

[mymasmith]

BIRD SHOW! Yes the jokes are corny, but my kids and my family all love it.

[ImNatalie]

LOVE THIS!! You, naturally, have one for every park... right?!!
This is our new mission on our visit

Have you ever noticed that in the Columbia Harbor House, there is a portrait of the back of a ship in stormy seas on the colonial side? On Haunted Mansion where the collection of portraits is, there's one with a ship on a stormy sea. My theory is it's the same ship same scene at different angles.

I think the maddest I’ve been at Disney was when I rode the safari and some grumpy dad kept whistling at the sleeping rhinos and lions, ignoring the cast member telling him to stop. All because they made him sit with his family instead of letting him choose his seat

[jbmiller]

1. Safari; 2. Gorilla Walk; 3. back trail to Pandora; 4. Flight of Passage; 5. Eat at either Satuli Canteen or go to Asia and eat at Yak & Yeti Quik Serve (good bargain for chicken fried rice); 6. Jungle Trek; 7. Expedition Everest (use single rider line); 8. Park hop to Magic Kingdom (dinner at Liberty Tree Tavern or Skipper Canteen - People Mover - then “Happily Ever After” Fireworks.

I am going to Disney in 11 days and I watch you to get me hype since day 109

[SunandSweettea]

I love AK! My favorite park. The animals, the food, the drums and dancers, street corn, learning how to draw at RPW…I could go on. ❤

[AR-rfkm]

I always like listening to you, you have such a happy excited voice. I love it

[raptorwares]

There were very young giraffes blocking the car for a good five minutes when we were on the safari.
It made my mom VERY happy, because they're her favorite animal

[DennisOBrien]

Animal Kingdom is my fav park. I never miss anything there

[Cfreemans]

Thank you, AJ! My family has saved all your “25” videos for our trip, WHICH happens to bridge the changeover from Genie+ to LL Multi Pass. Can’t wait to see how this plays out!

[pauldaley]

Yup, definitely use LL for flight of passage. When my wife and i went on it in may, we had lightening lane and waited about 10 to 15 minutes, the folks riding alongside us waited 3 hours. LL for that day cost us $17 each. Considering the ride...well worth it

Thank you for this guide to Animal Kingdom. On one of my upcoming trips in September or October, my aunt wants to spend some time visiting this park. I like the quiet of Animal Kingdom . It reminds me sometimes of the Bronx Zoo.
