If anyone knows the history of Animal Kingdom, it’s Molly! So excited to watch this video! Happy 25th anniversary Animal Kingdom!🎉

I loved the poacher storyline! I do remember seeing poor dead momma elephant. It really made you want to get the poachers. Also in addition to the swaying bridge, they had the radio going with a pretend spotter airplane and where there were no animals, the driver would race to where the poachers had been spotted while you hung on to your kids for dear life so they wouldn’t go flying out of the vehicle. Ahhh, great times…

“It’s tough to be a bug” was more terrifying to me as a kid than “Extraterrorestrial”

Molly crying because of Brother Bear is peak Mammoth Club content.

Like you know she REALLY knows what she’s talking about.

Eisner is so underrated. In order to hit on some great ideas, you’re gonna crash and burn on a ton. But he was fearless and a lot of what we love today is because of him.

Molly this is your calling .the history you share is like no other ..every video I learn more history in the parks..Great job 💐

LOVED all the “younger Molly” pictorial goodness!

This is literally your sweet spot: history/backstory + shoving food unceremoniously into your mouth + great drinks = Trifecta!!! Sets you apart from all the others - keep these videos coming!!

A yellow butterfly! What a treat!

My family calls them “Ben Butterflies” as we started seeing them EVERYWHERE shortly after losing our stillborn son, Ben in May 2016. It’s always special to see them, but at Disney, it’s even more magical and I’m pretty sure this is the first time I’ve ever seen one in a YouTube video. 💜

In my opinion, DAK is the best theme park that also has animals in it. The park really does not feel like a zoo at all. The animals are incorporated so naturally that it feels like your sharing the space with them instead of just looking at them through an enclosure. Not to mention all of the conservation work this park has done over the years!

Watching this on the plane ride to Disney is so surreal! ❤ Will be getting the Lion King ears with Simba and Nala! 🤩🤩🤩

Jane Goodall was a chimp researcher. Dianne Fossey was the gorilla researcher 😉

I’m blown away by the amount of information you’re able to pack in one hour. 😱 The content is so unique and very thoughtful. Your channel should be called “Amazing Molly” because you amaze us and also there is so much that amazes you too. 🙌🫶

I liked hearing about attractions not around anymore. A series where you went to current attractions and talked about what they used to be would be neat (like alien encounter and delta dream flight, backlot tour, great movie ride etc.)

Love how excited Molly got for the Brother Bear flotilla. I was working at a movie theater when that movie came out and a parent stormed out complaining that they were talking about spirits. Ah, memories.

Perfect Sunday morning = luxuriating while honouring the best WDW park!

I remember the poachers and as a wild thorn berry fan, I thought it was exciting 🤣 I was seven ok and knew it was all for show. My mom kind of forgot until I brought it up. Then I told my fiance about this when in line for Kilimanjaros and it was the talk of the whole line. Great time to kill time lol

I was crying over Grace too! I’ve rewatched Animal Kingdom probably 10 times. Physical therapists and OT are amazing. Makes such a difference for kids and animals.

[SimplelilSteph]

As a 32 year old woman who grew up watching Disney movies and shows who also developed a passion for animals and wild life and nature and had a dream to visit Disney World solely for the purpose of seeing Animal Kingdom and who finally last year on her 31st birthday got to visit it in person, I simply ugly cried through this whole video lol but the best kind of cry! Where you're crying but somehow your heart still feels full. This was probably my favorite video so far!! Thank you for everything that you do!! Can't wait to see what's next

I really wish other disney vloggers would put the time and energy into covering events like this the way you guys do. Instead of showing up late and complaining about parents holding their kids up to see the characters maybe be creative and think of other things your audience might find interesting. I hope your hard work continues to pay off, you deserve the subs and views so much more than some of these other blatantly lazy vloggers.
