My Favorite 2020 Holiday Offering at Disney’s Animal Kingdom

Posted December 22, 2020December 25, 2020 Paula BrownPosted in Disney's Animal Kingdom, WDW Blog

Two years ago during the holidays I spent a few days talking about my favorite things about the holidays around Walt Disney World. My list would have been the same for 2019. The exception would be Disney’s Animal Kingdom, because they didn’t do Christmas right until 2019. The 2020 Christmas season looks quite different than […]

Legendary Imagineer Joe Rohde has announced that he will retire on January 4, 2021. He made the announcement on Instagram. Rohde has been with the Walt Disney Company for 40 years. He is the creative genius behind almost all of Disney’s Animal Kingdom, including Pandora. Thank you, Joe Rohde, for 40 years of magic. You […]

Questions About the Return of Park Hopper

Yesterday I told you that a modified version of Park Hopper is going to return to Walt Disney World on January 1, 2021. This is indeed good news, and one step closer to “normal”. The problem is that the post from Disney Parks Blog was a bit vague on how things will work. It has […]

If you plan to head to Walt Disney World this holiday season, I have some advice for picking your Disney’s Animal Kingdom day. Check the hours before making your Disney Park Pass reservation. Of course you should always check the hours anyway, but there’s a specific reason at Disney’s Animal Kingdom this holiday season. There’s […]

Changes for the Holidays at Disney’s Animal Kingdom

If you read what I wrote last year at this time, you know how much I loved Merry Menagerie at Disney’s Animal Kingdom. The puppets based on winter animals were adorable, and the puppeteers were all so skilled! It was easy to suspend disbelief and interact with the animals as if they were real. Sadly, […]

Ten Second Tip: Trails at Disney’s Animal Kingdom

Don’t forget the trails at Disney’s Animal Kingdom! These are great when you’re tired of waiting in lines, or when you need a little bit of a break. What I like about the trails is that I can go at my own pace. If I want to watch the meerkats for an hour, I can […]

Ten Second Tip: Satu’li Canteen and Mobile Ordering

My favorite quick service dining option right now is Satu’li Canteen at Disney’s Animal Kingdom. The food is fantastic, and it does not even come close to “normal” theme park food! One added bonus is that it does not take too long when you use Mobile Ordering. Some places lately have been quite slow, but […]

Rope Drop and Three of the Parks

Posted October 5, 2020October 4, 2020 Paula BrownPosted in Disney's Animal Kingdom, Epcot, Magic Kingdom, WDW Blog

I’ve mentioned that rope dropping at Disney’s Hollywood Studios is essential if getting a Boarding Pass for Rise of the Resistance is at the top of your must-do list. I also mentioned earlier that if the newest ride isn’t all that important to you, you might not want to rope drop at the park. But […]

Character Cruises at Disney’s Animal Kingdom

Meet and greets at Walt Disney World are temporarily on hold because they can’t be done safely, but that doesn’t mean that there are no characters. I think that I’ve seen more characters in the parks since they reopened than on a typical day pre-pandemic. Last week I was able to get a last minute […]

Ten Second Tip: Feathered Friends in Flight!

Most live shows are not currently running at Walt Disney World because of a disagreement between Disney and the Actors’ Equity Association. At Disney’s Animal Kingdom, there is one replacement that is running. Feathered Friends in Flight! is held several times a day on the Caravan Stage. That is where Up! A Great Bird Adventure […]
