have such luck other times.
Doug McKnightHOST
15:42
No. Hollywood Studios, when we hopped there after Animal Kingdom, we were maybe one of the last five cars that they parked.
Doug McKnightHOST
15:51
And then after that, they're like, yeah, go find a spot, kids.
Doug McKnightHOST
15:54
Because it was late

6 MINS LATER

Lauren ShieldsHOST
21:59
Oh, my gosh.
Lauren ShieldsHOST
21:59
We met so many people.
Lauren ShieldsHOST
22:01
So we saw Ryan, who's a cast member at Animal Kingdom.
Lauren ShieldsHOST
22:05
He was a delight to talk to.
BruceHOST
5:13
Best or, you know, rank these Disney World resorts.
BruceHOST
5:16
Disney's Polynesian, Disney's Yacht Club, or Animal Kingdom Lodge.
ConnieHOST
5:23
Who are these easy for?
BruceHOST
5:24
One, two, and three.
ConnieHOST
5:27
Okay.
ConnieHOST
5:28
Polynesian, number one.
ConnieHOST
5:31
Animal Kingdom, number two.
ConnieHOST
5:33
Animal Kingdom Lodge, number two.
JohnHOST
15:19
yeah
ClaireHOST
15:20
and the queue so like these buses were coming and going the first one came from magic kingdom but it was full and off it went yeah and then there was buses to every other part man animal kingdom had like four buses and it was already six o'clock it was shut we were like why why is there buses to animal kingdom it shut anyway we stood there and stood there and stood there and none of these buses were coming we're going to magic kingdom so when the magic kingdom bus did come it was like right and there was like 10 of us who were like elbows out like Absolutely wrestling to the front of the bus queue.
ClaireHOST
15:49
It's like being back at school.
JohnHOST
15:51
It was, because actually there was nothing very polite about it whatsoever.

1 HR 1 MIN LATER

JohnHOST
76:50
yes.
JohnHOST
76:51
For
ClaireHOST
76:51
lunch on the Saturday, Morgan and Mia went off to do their Caring for Giants tour in Animal Kingdom.
ClaireHOST
76:56
We went to Celebration Brewing Company, which is a celebration point, which is literally just off the Eiffel.
LaurenGUEST
12:15
Yeah, 44.
LaurenGUEST
12:16
There was a day that it felt and we were in Animal Kingdom,
DominicGUEST
12:20
which is
LaurenGUEST
12:21
the hottest park in the world.
AndyHOST
16:44
And it can be quieter because a lot of people will just leave.
AndyHOST
16:47
So, like, you know, it's the best time.
AndyHOST
16:48
And especially at Animal Kingdom, that's when the animals come out.
AndyHOST
16:51
If it's been raining, you get on that safari.
MattHOST
6:48
At that point, you might as well just buy it.
MattHOST
6:51
So I may go in and go to Animal Kingdom in the morning, and if there's a low wait time, I may ride a ride, but I'm going for breakfast at Tusker House, and I'm not necessarily planning on riding rides that day.
MattHOST
7:03
But if something has a low weight or we check out some characters, we go for a couple hours, we leave, and then we go to happily ever after that night.
MattHOST
7:11
That's a park day without needing multi-pass because I just don't, the focus isn't riding rides.

7 MINS LATER

MattHOST
14:14
I think, I think any of those buffet style meals there, it's, you're not, you're not eating there because except for Boma, you're not eating there because the food is like the greatest thing ever.
MattHOST
14:25
Um, you're eating there for like the experience overall and, and your family with the characters and, Man, it was expensive and feeling rushed.
MattHOST
14:33
And that one, that's like the first recommendation for everybody at Animal Kingdom, for sure.
ChipHOST
14:40
The other one that gets too much hype, and I don't get it.
Mouselet AGUEST
34:15
great
Mouselet 1HOST
34:16
good idea thanks for the context on that um yeah both of you okay next up i'll jump back to bullet two navigation here's a little fun fact for you when animal kingdom opened disney intentionally did not put a lot of signs up because they wanted people to go around the park and try to find their way and really truly be exploring they even had paths that were like not on a map to really get that feeling.
Mouselet 1HOST
34:42
And it was very unpopular.
Mouselet 1HOST
34:43
People were very confused.
Mouselet 3GUEST
36:05
literally yeah
Mouselet 1HOST
36:06
another weird thing is that you know like magic kingdom disneyland is the classic like hub and spoke style where the castle's in the middle and the land split out In Epcot, you walk in and you're like, the entire park is in front of you.
Mouselet 1HOST
36:19
In Animal Kingdom, the entire park is in front of you.
Mouselet 1HOST
36:21
In Hollywood Studios, the entire park mostly is in front of you.
Joe RohdeGUEST
29:48
So there's multiple things this means.
Joe RohdeGUEST
29:50
Floating Mountains refers to one of my last projects, which was, uh, the floating mountains of Pandora at Disney's Animal Kingdom.
speaker_13HOST
29:56
Mm.
Joe RohdeGUEST
29:56
But it also refers to these ideas of, like, unachievable things that become achievable, uh, the magic art of making you believe something that should be impossible-
EricaHOST
11:55
All right.
EricaHOST
11:57
Let's start with Animal Kingdom.
EricaHOST
12:00
My least favorite park.
JohnnyHOST
12:01
Yeah.
EricaHOST
12:13
Like Dalmatians.
JohnnyHOST
12:15
Oh, we're not talking about Dalmatians, though.
EricaHOST
12:17
We're talking about Animal Kingdom.
EricaHOST
12:18
Okay.
Jen NovotnyHOST
28:30
Like it was a not-miss.
David DollarHOST
28:32
yeah i agree i agree and honestly i'm a i like exclusive merch in parks i would love to have magic kingdom merch in magic kingdom like if i'm an animal kingdom i'm like oh let's get so and so you can't find it because it's over in magic kingdom and you have to say magic kingdom it can be something else but only in magic kingdom can you get a thing and have a play have a storybook circus that's the place where you have to get it um which sure and make it open past 5 p.m they close at like five or six oh that
Jen NovotnyHOST
28:55
too oh yeah close that's annoying
David DollarHOST
28:57
I mean, come on.

10 MINS LATER

David DollarHOST
38:29
But, yeah, bring back something where you go through the entire park, much like the Agent P's thing at the World Showcase over in Epcot.
David DollarHOST
38:37
It's something you can do with the kids throughout the entire park, or you can do it yourself, whatever.
David DollarHOST
38:41
And Wilderness Explorers over at Animal Kingdom.
David DollarHOST
38:44
Let's make this happen.
Frank CardilloHOST
60:39
Our Magic Kingdom Day was on Thursday.
Frank CardilloHOST
60:41
Last week we talked about our Hollywood Studios Day, which was on a Friday, which means – We have the Wednesday at Epcot to talk about and the Saturday morning at the Animal Kingdom to talk about.
Frank CardilloHOST
60:53
That means we got at least two more of these trip reports to do.
Frank CardilloHOST
60:58
And don't forget, as we mentioned, we have our meetup in November.
