Disney’s Animal Kingdom has some exciting new experiences on the way!
Tree of Life
We’ve been celebrating Easter all around Disney World with sweet treats and seriously impressive egg displays, but you may have forgotten about another special occasion comin’ up in April! Earth Day is April 22nd, and Animal Kingdom is celebrating with a whole bunch of Earth Week celebrations.
We’ve popped into Disney World’s WILDEST park a few times in the last week!
Pandora
Disney’s Animal Kingdom is a pretty cool place to hang out. We love eating the food, riding the rides, and (of course!) checking in on the animals. Now, we’re here with a quick update on everything NEW in the park!
It’s that time of the week! We’re back to check out the average wait times in Disney World over the past week!
Cinderella Castle Decorations
Disney World has been at capacity for over a week now, and doesn’t look to be any less busy anytime soon. Even though Park Pass Reservations continue to be booked up, the wait times in the parks have managed to go DOWN. Today, looking at the average wait times in ALL four Disney World theme parks!

We’ve gotten an update on some of those BIG movie releases we’ve all been waiting a while for, and quite a few things reopened or became available again in Disney World. So, now let’s jump into the 8 biggest Disney news stories from this week that you NEED to know about!
ICYMI, a Disney World mountain is having a big anniversary this year!
That view tho 👀
We’re of course talking about Animal Kingdom’s own Expedition Everest, which is celebrating its 15th anniversary. And because Disney knows one of the best ways to mark any occasion is with a line of merchandise, we’ve seen new Everest anniversary merch popping up in the last few weeks!
If you’re heading to Disney World in April, you’ll now have a bit more time to enjoy the Taste of EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival, your favorite rides in Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and more at all of the parks.
Hello, you beautiful fountain!
We’ve seen Disney extend park hours for quite a few days in early April. But, now they’ve done it again for more days in the month.
Hello to all our DFB Friends!
Tree of Life — it’s so magnificent!
Guess where we’ve been? Disney’s Animal Kingdom! And we’ve been looking for all the new stuff that’s popped up since we were last there, so you can stay updated! So let’s go!
Since reopening, Disney World has implemented several health and safety measures to keep guests and Cast Members safe.
Pandora
Not only are there face masks and social distancing markers, but many attraction and shops have received a plexiglass makeover. Many rides have gotten a plexiglass makeover in the queues, the loading area, and the attraction vehicles themselves, and today we noticed that more plexiglass has been added to an attraction in Disney’s Animal Kingdom!
EDIT: Since the time of posting, more Disney Park Pass Reservation options have opened up for guests traveling to Walt Disney World in late March and early April. Click HERE to learn more and see our most recent update!
Spring break season is in full swing at Walt Disney World!
Magic Kingdom
Because schools around the U.S. tend to have differing spring break periods, it makes for a long spring holiday season at Disney. We tend to see the crowds start in March and last through the beginning of April. And, this year is no different! Park Passes have been filling quickly and, if you were hoping to visit Disney World in the next few weeks, it looks like you needed to plan early because park passes are VERY limited.
