We Went to Animal Kingdom on Travel Day?! Disney Split Stay Begins

Our Disney split stay begins! ✈️✨ In today’s Disney Travel Day vlog, we fly from Newark Airport (EWR) to Orlando (MCO), check into Disney’s Pop Century Resort, and head straight to Animal Kingdom for 3 hours before ending the night with pool time at the resort. This is Day 1 of our Disney World split stay, and I’m sharing what a realistic travel day looks like with a toddler — airport morning, resort check-in, park strategy, and squeezing in as much magic as possible on arrival day. If you’re planning a Disney split stay or wondering if Animal Kingdom on travel day is worth it, this vlog shows exactly how we made it work.
