Animal Kingdom
Join us on a virtual walk around this park and see what new and exciting food, merchandise, and other finds we spotted during our most recent visit!
“Jambo!” from Disney’s Animal Kingdom! We’ve had quite the adventure exploring the park today, and we enjoyed our time so much, we thought we would share some of our experiences with you!

We recently shared 25 videos from our visit to Magic Kingdom, so today we thought we would look back on TWENTY videos we took today from Animal Kingdom!
Pre-shows on Disney rides contain great Easter Eggs, especially when it comes to celebrity cameos. Some famous ones over the years have included Aerosmith on Rock N Roller Coaster, Patrick Warburton on Soarin’, Gary Sinise on Mission: SPACE, and Alison Janey (well, her voice at least!) on Star Tours. And, of course, we can see a number of cast members from the newest Star Wars trilogy on Rise of the Resistance.

You really feel the FULL spectrum of emotions throughout your entire trip, so we thought we would rank them! No one asked us to, BUT WE’RE DOING IT ANYWAY. We’re starting from the absolute BEST feelings in the (Disney) world to the downright strangest!
Sometimes, geographical circumstances can keep us on the wrong side of the Disney park gates, which is a total bummer! Luckily, we have Disney+ from the comfort of our homes to be able to get us by. And boy, are there a lot of options!
Magic Kingdom
There are just some days when we are missing the Disney Parks a little extra, so we’re turning to our fave Disney streaming service for a little comfort.

Here’s what to watch on Disney+ if you want to feel like you’re in the parks!
