Disney Dream Girls 202 - Disney's Animal Kingdom

Welcome to the show notes for the Disney Dream Girls Podcast, show number 202 for Sunday 25th March 2018. If you want to listen, whilst you read these notes, all you have to do is press the green triangle on the audio player below.

This show is part of a mini season of theme park reviews we are doing and if you want to catch the first one, you will find it on show 195.

Previous Rope Drop Experience - Now No More

First, Animal Kingdom is the most stunningly beautiful park and it must be said that it is easy to race past the details to get into the line as quick as you can. However, remember to stop and look around - it has some very beautiful secrets wanting to be discovered.

Once there, you can find something for everyone to enjoy. From close up animal encounters, treks, trails and shows there is also a some of the best attractions in Walt Disney World. Perhaps with the exception of Dinoland USA, you could argue that here at Animal Kingdom you will find the most highly themed attractions. 

At the moment, the big hot ticket attraction can be found in Pandora, the land of Avator. At the moment, Avator Flight of Passage has a daily wait time of at least two hours so if you can't get a fastpass booked at 60 days out, be prepared to wait in a long line. However, the additional treat you get to see is the staggering theming.

Food at Animal Kingdom ranges from traditional theme park fayre all the way to high end dining. You can splurge on a boba ball refreshing drink all the way to an adult Dole Whip (a pineapple soft serve with rum) plus cocktails and beers from the themed areas. 

Ice Cream Cookie Sandwiches are a favourite

There is a great deal of 'streetmosphere'. From bands, artists but also instruments for the children (whether physical children or children at heart) to play.

The Tree of Life, which is the park icon

If visiting for the first time, we recommend at least one day to hit everything but ideally two days to be able to see the shows, meet characters and ride all the attractions at least twice. 

The animal sightings are magical

On the show we discuss touring strategies and also virtually everything you can do once inside the theme park - so give it a listen!
