Animal Kingdom is such a great park. So many areas to explore, hidden gems, and unique moments. I also always feel more calm in that park than in any other.
Our absolute favorite park! 😍 I often say that if I lived locally, I'm sure I'd hit DAK every other day. We could sit in the Pandora area or at the base of the Tree of Life all day just looking around at all the ambient beauty and listening to the sound loops, and feel completely at peace with our Disney day! Flight of Passage and Navi River Journey are also some of our favorite attractions out of any park(s) in the world, and for vastly different reasons - one is so exciting and emotional, the other so zen and calming. So glad to see Safari Mickey and Minnie return after all this time away, too; we will never again take character hugs for granted! Great use of Lightning Lane(s), and great safari too! Is the back row not the best? 😁Will forever be on the lookout for a box on the ground at Disney from here on out! Thanks for sharing, Jackie!
So true, I used to not be that into character meets or hugs, but now they mean so much! And oh yea back row is best for me for sure!! That was such a good run through, I couldn't believe our luck with the new animals and the lions!! AK is def going up in the ranks for me as a favorite year after year.
Hahaha listen, screaming on Everest is the proper thing to do! Were you sitting next to me?? I loved how we got the bird, haven’t seen it last few times I rode!
Love Animal Kingdom! The safari ride is always different every time you ride it and a fav with my family. Everest is right up there too! The bowls at satuli canteen are the best!
The next time you get a chai tea get a shot of chocolate with it. I make them all the time. Its soooo good. Love watchin ur videos. I live vicariously through ur trips until i can make it there.
I hope they always keep adding onto Animal Kingdom, it’s nice to see animals getting along..Love your park strategy for rides, so many tips..On hot days a ride on the Kali river rapids always does the trick..we love the charm of the park and great foods on the run…great job as always, your our favorite ..thanks
I found on this day that all the characters and cast members seem to be in really good moods and that can make all the difference for having a good day!
I love when the quick service restaurants use plates and silverware. In the end I feel like I sat down to a real meal and less trash is better for the environment
I love the montage at the end of all your videos they are always so satisfying to watch. Makes me wish I was there. Oct 2023 I'll be back and I can't wait. Untill then I'll continue to watch all your amazing videos.
Hey Jackie having a wonderful time with friends hanging out let's do ride this year and some lunch and Dessert 🎂🍰🎂 this week have fun this is Jenna Dabao
This park looks like so much fun! Hoping sometime to get there. I was in Kenya for about 8-9 month many years ago and makes me feel back "at home" so to speak. Thanks for another wonderful video.
Love animal kingdom, I could spend all day there! The fried tofu we tried last trip down and my daughter and I shared we chose rice and it was very good! Definitely recommend if you are willing to try different foods! Thank for the video!
Thanks for sharing Jackie! This looked like a fun day, other than the heat😁, that frozen chai looked so good, and Everest is one of my absolute favorite rides!🙂
Definitely looks like a great day! On the few times that I have been to Animal Kingdom, we have always been in a hurry with rides and things and haven't had the chance to really appreciate the park. Also, I'll definitely have to try out that frozen chai next time!
Hope that you are having a good day. I always love watching people ride the boat ride with the lovely Animatronics. The songs are quite catchy too. The blue raspberry treats are quite pretty..
Thank you for the explanation of Genie +. My son and I visited in May, and we were able to get on the rides on our list. Also, thanks for the All Stars Sports review,.we enjoyed our stay there. We are from WV.
I found out that I’m going to be working the food stands in DAK asia for my college program today, so being able to watch this video right after was perfect timing!
How exciting!! Honestly DAK cms always seem the most cheerful and fun, seems like a good team and it can seriously make or break family's day so it's an amazing opportunity!!! Good luck and hope I see u there :)
Loved the video. Animal Kingdom is my favorite . I have not been there in approximately 20 years and a lot has changed. I love the safari ride the best. Thanks for taking me along . Keep up the good work.
Na'vi River Journey's the best! Definitely recording the ride from the front row! When I rode Expedition Everest the second time, it was raining while heading up and I got soaked! It looks difficult for me to record the ride since it's a little too fast especially for the backwards part. My family and I rode the safari both day and night! In the Pandora restaurant, I got a Bao Burger and it was so good!
Loved the video!!! I always love your montages at the beginning and end, but ESPECIALLY love these at Animal Kingdom with the beautiful animals and birds and scenery.
Jackie your laughter at meeting mickey and minnie was so genuine you had me cracking up. at 13:08 I have never seen your face that red before especially if you compare it to the end of the video. Must have been one heck of a hot day there.
I was just so happy and they were SOOOO sweet with everyone!! Oh yea haha I've been that red before, especially during the summer, I was HOT HOT HOT and sweating all day, I kept wiping my sweat before I would record to try to be presentable hahaha! But the drink def cooled me off.
I love Animal Kingdom. Last time I went on Na'vi River Journey, though, the animatronic shaman at the end was missing and they had a movie screen instead =( Glad to see her back for you!
Ahh I hate when that happens! Whenever I see the “b mode” screen, I’m like nooooo! It’s the coolest animatronic and the centerpiece of the ride. Hope next time the Shaman of Songs is working for you!
Hi Jackie!! I just love Animal Kingdom. I also really enjoy Navi River Journey. It’s so calm & relaxing. I just wish they would’ve made it wheelchair accessible. My husband is a quadriplegic & can’t transfer so he can’t ride it with us. I wish he could’ve enjoyed it too. We’re so glad Disney makes a lot of their rides so that he can ride while staying in his chair. I’m just not sure why they didn’t do this one; but it’s always a great day at Animal Kingdom!!
@@SuperEnthused Thanks Jackie! Yes, we enjoy Disney so much because of all the things we are able to do together. It really is the MOST accessible place & that’s one of the things that keeps us coming back!
It's been consistently good, even when other places have been inconsistent. And I like that there is usually a lot of seating for everyone so you don't have to struggle for a place to sit.
Can't believe we were there on the same day and I didn't pass you :) but we also did the boat ride and saw Safari M & M (they nose touches in our visit too)! Looks like you had a great time too. Have you ever had the Dino-Bites Cold brew coffee float (cold brew with a giant scoop of vanilla in it) it's my fave drink at AK.
I found your videos after the Star Wars Hotel one when I was trying to see as much as I could on the new hotel. But I've been loving watching more and more of them since then and this one I absolutely loved! Getting to see parts of couple of my favourite rides (and the yeti one I was too scared to try when there), wandering round the parks in general (I love the signage in AK too!) and seeing some of the delicious food (that cold chai latte looked amazing and the food in Pandora!) I always enjoy your videos now but this one is the best thing I've seen in a while! The fun fact about boxes on the ground is amazing! Would love to see you do a tour of galaxies edge and see some of the themed food etc! Just missed that section opening by weeks when I was last over.
Mickey and Mini meet and greet looked fabulous, I love Everest very much at AK looked like you had a fabulous day ! The safari is great just before it gets dark the lions come to life ! Amazing loved it 🥰! Great vlog x
I am enjoying this one so much, I’m watching it again! I appreciate you letting us ride in Pandora without talking over the experience! I don’t know of anyone else that does that. You just let us relax and enjoy it! Thanks 😊
New to your channel, love your videos! The stirring the slushie made me laugh and think of those disintegrated paper straws. Hate 'em. That slushie spot is a secret it seems nobody cares about, we always go there (and I bring my silicone straws!). AK is my favorite park. There's something extra magical about it because it is one of a kind.
So lovely to see Safari Mickey and Minnie are back! We met them 3 years ago this week and so loved the experience that the photos are still our saver screens on our phones and iPad. Another great vlog … thank you Jackie! : )
Great vlog Jackie 😍 So interesting to hear about how you got your Genie + selections a nd those wait times . Love to see Navi River ride, so cool always fills me with such tranquility and wonder! Awwwww, so cute to see the Mickey and Minnie meet back!!!!🥰 Omg Jackie you;re so chilled on Everest giggling away - no screams! wow! Loved seeing all the animals, especially the lions 🦁Animal Kingdom is just the best! x
Haha Debbie it’s so funny bc sometimes I scream on Everest but this day, the group in front of me was so excited that I was just giggling and so happy at their screams haha!
I always enjoy your videos on Animal Kingdom as that is the only park I have not visited however my wife got tickets for Animal Kingdom for her birthday in November and I get to go by default. Life is good.
Jackie you've made me want to visit Animal Kingdom. I hadn't been since '98. Kay wasn't sure she'd like it but I think you've helped convince her. Next trip to Florida will probably be in '24. We usually stay for 2 weeks. Hopefully we spot you a d Sam and can treat you to dinner or drinks on us. Thanks for all of your entertaining content.
Animal Kingdom is my fave. Mainly as I'm an animal lover, but the themeing and decor is beautiful. Great that Safari Mickey & Minnie are back. Your Safari was pretty amazing, learning about Mufasa was very cool. I've got so many photos of that lions butt🤣 What do you call a group of elderly Wildebeest? Old Gnus.
My twin sister and I are going to be in Florida this Sunday. We will be in Orlando next Wednesday, at City Walk, and then we will be at Disney Springs. Hope to see you there. Plus, we will be at Bush Gardens on Friday for the first time. We have been to the one in Virginia.
Jackie, I've been watching you for some time now, but not sure if I have commented on any vids yet. That bowl you had for lunch looked awesome. We opted for the BBQ at Flame Tree ( I think). It was good, but yours looked better. I also watched your vids when yall came to Georgia to Senoia and Barbie Beach. LOL! I live maybe 30-45 minutes from Barbie Beach. I know Senoia quite well. Anyway, I love your vids and your reviews on everything.
