food IS a theme park
We love keeping our readers up to date on the latest happenings around Disney World, which is why we’re coming at ya today with an update on what’s new in Disney’s Animal Kingdom!
Animal Kingdom
Whether you’re visiting for the latest entertainment or you want to shop for those must-have souvenirs, we have some updates to share with you today!
Disney’s Animal Kingdom is not just a theme park, but also a sort of zoo, sort of a nature preserve, and sort of a smorgasbord of some of the BEST food at Disney Wold. Not only that, but Animal Kingdom has some of the most unique attractions of all the Disney Parks, from Kali River Rapids to Na’vi River Journey (not to mention, one of our favorite shows, Festival of the Lion King).

Although there are plenty of opportunities to see animals throughout the park, one of the biggest things that bring guests to Animal Kingdom is the array of rides — dark rides, thrill rides, and everything in between. So which rides are the BEST of the best and which ones are…not so much?
If you’ve been to Disney World before, chances are you know that feeling: you just want to get from one side of Magic Kingdom to the other, but you’re met with a wall of crowds or a parade or cavalcade, slowing you down big time! Well, did you know that there are SECRET walkways that can help you avoid those crowds?

Okay, so maybe these walkways aren’t a complete secret, but there are often-overlooked walkways in the parks that can help you save some time while getting from point A to point B — or, at least it will make your walk more pleasant and crowd-free. With the 50th Anniversary Celebration bringing in plenty of visitors, it’s more important than ever to be aware of where the shortcuts and alternate routes are in the parks!
When it comes to favorite lands at Disney World, everyone has their own opinion!
Fantasyland
While some Disney fans think Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge is one of the best-themed lands in all of Disney World, others think that World Showcase is completely underrated by EPCOT guests. And some guests love the charm of Fantasyland, while others prefer the bioluminescent details of Pandora. No matter how you cut it, though, Disney fans think some lands are overrated, while others aren’t. So we asked you, our DFB readers, about the lands at Disney World! And here’s what 23,000 of you said!

If you’ve ever been to Disney World, then you know that ride preshows are essential to the story.
Rise of the Resistance Preshow
The preshows set up the events for the ride and often contain some quote-worthy scripts and one-liners. Many of them have massive fanbases filled with people who can quote them from beginning to end. And recently, a popular pre-show character finally made his way to Disney World!
