food IS a theme park
Extended evening hours and a change to a popular ride’s hours are just a couple of the things changing in Animal Kingdom next month.
Animal Kingdom
We want to make sure you have a smooth and worry-free vacation without any surprises, so here are FOUR changes coming to Animal Kingdom next month!
One of our favorite things to do in Disney World is to visit Animal Kingdom and see all the adorable animals. The park houses so many cute critters, from flamingos and otters to kangaroos and giraffes. If you’re also an animal lover, then Disney just released the best news you’ll hear all week!

Disney just added a brand-new African Painted Dog to Kilimanjaro Safaris. Everyone, say hi to Prospect!

Kendi is a 27-year-old white rhino who has lived at Kilimanjaro Safaris her whole life. So keepers immediately spotted a slight cloudiness in her right eye. Kendi had cataracts, a condition that clouds the eye lens and can lead to blindness if left untreated! Disney took us behind the scenes of Kenzi’s surgery and recovery, and we’re bringing you along.
Something NEW has arrived on the savanna at Kilimanjaro Safaris, and we think you’re going to love it!

Every time a new baby animal is born at Animal Kingdom, we get so excited — I mean, who doesn’t get excited about adorable baby animals?! Recently, we shared that a new baby giraffe had been born at Animal Kingdom and would soon make her debut on the Safaris, and now, that time has come. We’ve got a first look at Ivy, the new baby giraffe!

Do you need a Lightning Lane strategy for Disney’s Animal Kingdom? I’ve got you covered!

We’ve used the various Lightning Lane systems in this park dozens of times (maybe even hundreds, at this point!), and we’ve got our strategy down to a SCIENCE. So here, I’m breaking down everything you need to know about Lightning Lanes in Animal Kingdom, and how to navigate your day with or without them.
Disney World is enormous. It is a city wearing mouse ears. It is a vacation destination built on snacks, logistics, and a frankly alarming number of tiny details most people walk right past while speed-walking to their next Lightning Lane.
Main Street, U.S.A.
And sure, plenty of Disney fans know the usual trivia. Hidden Mickeys. Secret menus. Forced perspective. The whole “yes, I do know where the best bathroom in EPCOT is, thank you for asking” energy. But even if you’ve been to Disney World a bunch, there are still some weird, wonderful, wildly specific details hiding in plain sight. Some are real Imagineering flexes. Some are backstage-level oddities. And a couple are legends that Disney fans refuse to let die, because honestly? They’re too good.
Here are the Disney World secrets, details, and bits of delicious park lore that even frequent visitors still miss.
When it comes to Walt Disney World’s busiest – and most popular – attractions, may riders have specific desires: Specific time of day to ride, specific ride vehicles, and even specific seats.
TRON
Whether you are using Lightning Lanes to skip the lines or you’re waiting a while in a standard queue, you’ll want to have the best riding experience possible. There are certain attractions that we think have better seats than the rest of the ride vehicle. But how do you know which ones they are and how do you get these seats? Well, we have a former Cast Member ready to help.
We love visiting Disney’s Animal Kingdom because it’s just so different from Disney World’s other three theme parks. It’s part theme park, part zoo, and full of all kinds of wonderful creatures we love to see and learn more about.
Kilimanjaro Safaris
We’re also excited when new animals arrive in Animal Kingdom, especially babies. However, a new adult white rhino just recently became a new citizen of Animal Kingdom, and we would like to introduce you to him.
Disney World is big, like really big. We go to the parks every day, and every day Disney World just feels bigger and bigger, especially when you’re in the middle of EPCOT’s World Showcase or looking for the way out of Galaxy’s Edge in Hollywood Studios.
Magic Kingdom
Believe it or not, there’s a ride bigger than ALL of Magic Kingdom. Yep, a single attraction is bigger than the six lands and castle, and you might only see a fraction of the space when you ride it. Place your final bets in three, two, one…
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
