Disney's Animal Kingdom

Hey everyone! Happy Earth Day! Since Earth Day is the day that Disney's Animal Kingdom opened back in 1998- I thought I would talk about it today for a little bit!

Animal Kingdom is one of the most interesting parks in my opinion because I actually went when it was brand new! I forget if my first trip to Disney was 1998 or 1999- but either way it was pretty close to when Animal Kingdom opened! So even though I haven't been there through a lot of the more recent changes... I've been there through some changes and I'm excited to see the newer additions!

One thing I really like about the park is that it's never really the same park twice. It's mainly themed around actual animals... so you never really know what you're going to see! They have a really nice safari ride that is literally different every time you go to it. You never really know what you're going to see. The Tim Tracker did a video on the safari after a rain storm and all the animals came out to play afterward and it was really cute and he had a great time. Either way- you get to see some animals... and it's a really fun look at the animals in animal kingdom. This is definitely a must do attraction at Animal Kingdom.

And honestly... most of the rides in Animal Kingdom are really detailed and must- do attraction. Just waiting in the queue line of Expedition Everest is really really cool. The ride itself is amazing too- but the queue is really cool and really detailed. Dinosaur I think is one of my favorite rides that is really fun and very detailed. And it's not like a roller coaster or a simulator or anything- so I feel like just about anyone could do Dinosaur... although it is a little scary! I was pretty shocked when the big T Rex came out and they take your picture... It's really funny.

I've never been to Pandora- but I'm really happy that they added that. Not only does it look incredible and immersive and wonderfully done... but now they actually keep the park open longer than they did before! They have a nighttime show, and projections on The Tree of Life- which is all really cool. It's just nice that being open longer allowed them to all these other possibilities.

Also... I just love that they have characters in Safari outfits. I remember getting all the stuffed animals as kids and I just thought they were so cute. You can meet Mickey and his friends in their Safari Gear at one of the restaurants there which is really cool. I remember having a Winnie The Pooh Canteen that had a fan on it and Winnie the Pooh in his safari outfit... it was really cool.

So yeah. That's everything I have about Animal Kingdom right now! Hope you guys are having a good earth day and let me know what your favorite things about Animal Kingdom are!

Bye!
