Smoking Truck Towed From Kilimanjaro Safaris in Disney World

By Leave a Comment

It’s no secret that things don’t always work the way they’re supposed to in Disney World.

Tree of Life in Animal Kingdom

We’ve seen rides have animatronics removed when they didn’t just work right. We’ve seen animatronics do some weird things while on rides. Sometimes rides even close because it’s having some technical difficulties (Rise of the Resistance, we’re looking at you). However, what happens when you’re on Kilimanjaro Safaris in Disney’s Animal Kingdom and the ride breaks down while you’re on the savannah? Well, now we know!

An Attraction FINALLY Reopened in Disney’s Animal Kingdom

By 1 Comment

Sometimes, we need an outlet for our energy. Let’s be honest, we all feel a little extra peppy and excited when we first enter the Disney World parks, and our energy tends to deplete as the day goes on — those Disney parks tire us out!

The jungle trek is a hidden gem!

If you’re looking for a spot to take your little ones to burn a little energy after devouring a bag of cotton candy, we’ve got some GREAT news for you, parents!

New Study Reveals How Disney World’s Popularity Compares to Other Theme Parks

By Leave a Comment

If you’ve been here a while, you know that we’re a little nerdy when it comes to Disney.

Crowds in Magic Kingdom

Okay, maybe it’s not quite that bad, but still. You can train for months, walking laps around your neighborhood and hitting the gym, and STILL not be prepared for the heat that the Disney World parks bring…literally. You’re hitting 20,000 steps most days, sweating in the sometimes 100-degree heat, and partying from dusk till midnight — it’s a sport not made for the faint of heart. But if you’re a hardcore Disney parkgoer, then we’ve got a challenge for you: 18 hours straight in Disney World parks!

By Leave a Comment

You can find some of the most interesting and unique Disney World souvenirs inside Animal Kingdom.

Merchandise in Animal Kingdom

Between merchandise for Pandora — The World of Avatar, the park’s 25th Anniversary, and a plethora of The Lion King-themed souvenirs, there are plenty of shopping opportunities in Disney World’s newest theme park. (Although, can we really still call it “new” if it’s 25 years old?) We often have a hard time keeping a hold on our wallets in Animal Kingdom…but now we’ve got a new reason to be tempted.
