It’s always a good idea to get to the parks early, but this is especially true at Animal Kingdom – Get to the park for opening and head straight to the Kilimanjaro Safari Ride and catch the animals awake before the heat gets too much for them... and you!
If you’re lucky enough to get a second day at Animal Kingdom, head over to Kali River rapids at opening time, they’ll probably be no queue – when we did this we got to ride 4 times straight off! Only took us about an hour to dry ;-)
There are over 4 million trees, plants, shrubs, vines, grasses, ferns, etc. representing 3,000 species.
Mickey’s Jammin’ Jungle Parade starts in Harambe, heads toward Camp Minnie-Mickey, circles around the Tree of Life, routes toward Asia, and then turns left back toward Harambe where it concludes.
When in the queue for It’s Tough to be a Bug, get the kids to count how many animals they can see carved into the tree and it’s roots, it really helps pass the time.
If you have a traditional camera with film, bring twice as much as you think you’ll need, and extra memory for those with digital cameras, we always seem to take far more photos in this park than any other.
