Creator's Key Takeaways

I've done tons of Flight of Passage rope drops before, and that is probably by far the worst that I've ever experienced it.

We LOVED walking through Pandora at night, and riding my favorite: Na'vi River Journey.

Pretty good day. Got to go to SA. Got to eat at our favorite restaurant.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Arrive at Animal Kingdom early for rope drop to minimize wait times.

✓Use Lightning Lane strategically; don't waste it on short waits.

✓Get ibuprofen early for foot pain from Disney shuffle.

✓Be courteous in lines; don't run or shove others.

✓Request a window seat at Sanaa for animal viewing.

🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Waking up very early for rope drop — It's worth it to get to the park early to minimize waits during actual park time.

Foot pain from walking — Take ibuprofen early and pace yourself; the Disney shuffle can cause discomfort.

Navigating Lightning Lane system — Book earliest available attractions to maximize use; don't waste on short waits.

YouTube Video Description↓

It's Day 2 of our Walt Disney World vacation, and we're headed to Disney's Animal Kingdom. We woke up SUPER early for rope and went straight for Flight of Passage, but it was NOT an enjoyable experience. We enjoyed several shows like Festival of the Lion King and the new Zootopia: Better Zoogether. At lunchtime, we headed over to Sanaa at Animal Kingdom Lodge Kidani Village, then it was back into the park until sundown. We LOVED walking through Pandora at night, and riding my favorite: Na'vi River Journey. LIKE & SUBSCRIBE for more Disneyland tips, food reviews, and more.
