food IS a theme park
Animal Kingdom‘s DinoLand U.S.A. is a beloved part of the park and has a lot of history and trivia surrounding its creation.
DinoLand U.S.A.
The concept behind DinoLand U.S.A. is that it started as a “highway town” where dinosaur bones were found by amateur fossil hunters. There are plenty of hidden Easter eggs and fun facts about this land, and you might already know about some of them — but we bet you didn’t know THIS trivia! [Read more…]
Possibly the most underrated theme park in Disney World is Disney’s Animal Kingdom. Exciting thrill rides, animal exhibits, Broadway-style shows, and Cheeseburger Pods — what’s not to love??
Disney’s Animal Kingdom
If you’re also a fan of this amazing park, come along with us to check out what’s NEW here since we last visited. Get ready for returning character meet-and-greets, a hiding dinosaur, and shocking holiday weekend crowds — time to dive in! [Read more…]
One of the best things about visiting Disney World is seeing the characters!
Mickey and Minnie at Adventurers Outpost
There are also so many opportunities to see them, too — they turn up in character cavalcades, in parades, and at character meet and greets. Some even roam around the parks so you can randomly bump into them. Now, characters are returning to the parks, and that includes some very popular character meet and greets in Disney’s Animal Kingdom!
When Disney World brought back traditional character meet and greets, we were THRILLED to finally be able to hug, high-five, and get autographs once again.
Hugs are back!
But, not every character meet and greet came back at once, as Disney is rolling them out in phases. Disney just announced that even MORE characters are coming back to the parks, and we’re sharing everything you need to know!
Oh by gosh, by golly– it’s almost time for mistletoe and holly! Get ready because this year Disney is spreading holiday cheer throughout ALL FOUR of its theme parks! And things are going to be a little bit different… .
Christmas is Coming to Magic Kingdom
We’ve shown you glimpses of the holiday merch, new Holiday fireworks in the Magic Kingdom, and early details for Epcot’s Festival of the Holidays, but now we want to show you EVERYTHING happening this holiday season at Disney World! If you want to join in on the merrymaking, follow along as we break down all the wintery happenings park by park! Let’s go!
Who knew dinosaurs could be so adorable?!
Dino-Bash Truck!
We love going to Animal Kingdom to party with Donald, Daisy, Chip, Dale, and all our other friends at Donald’s Dino-Bash! Their vibrant outfits and costumes make us want to get up, dance, and let out a big roar (our T-rex impression is pretty spot on, if you ask us)! But, you don’t have to be in DinoLand, U.S.A. to spend time with the gang. Now, you can take them with you wherever you go!
We’ve shown you Magic Kingdom and Hollywood Studios (along with Toy Story Land) all dressed up for the season, now it’s time to highlight the Animal Kingdom. Their Christmas decorations are always fun to see as they incorporate themes from the park attractions and regions represented in the park. Plus, while we were taking in all the decorations we found some new menu updates as well as some must-have merchandise!
Christmas Greetings from the Animal Kingdom
Whether this is your first or 10th visit to Animal Kingdom during Christmas be sure to take some time to look at the ornaments on the tree at the entrance to the park. They are both representative of the park, and also feature some favorite Disney characters!
It’s time for a party with Donald Duck — and friends! — at Donald’s Dino-Bash in Animal Kingdom!
