Creator's Key Takeaways

we actually stayed here when we reviewed animal kingdom lodge a few weeks ago and we were blown away that honestly our favorite things to do here were things that you did not need a hotel reservation to do

the one thing that can be a little tricky about coming here if you don't have a hotel reservation is how do you park you cannot park on the resort unless you have a hotel reservation or a dining reservation

a 250 pound person can actually stand on this egg and it will not break how cool is that

did you know that flamingos aren't naturally pink they're actually kind of whitish and they get that pink color from their diet they eat a lot of krill shrimp which contains a lot of beta-carotene

Creator's Tips & Advice

Park at Disney Springs or Animal Kingdom and take a shuttle to the resort if you don't have a hotel reservation
Ask a cast member at Pembe Savannah for the off-the-path tour, as it may still be available
Visit around 4:30 PM to catch feeding time for a great view of the animals
Check out the digital animal spotting guide via the link in the description before you arrive

YouTube Video Description

Jambo! In the second episode of our Free at Disney World series, we're going off the path at Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge for a unique, behind-the-scenes tour of one of their four savannas that is home to a famous (and famously flirty) feathered resident. Then we'll check out the other savannas that are home to giraffes, zebras, wildebeests and more! We'll learn some fun facts about ostrich eggs and find out what makes pink flamingos so pink. Finally, we'll catch the spectacular sunset at the appropriately-named Sunset Savanna and enjoy some surprisingly inexpensive white wine ($19 for a BOTTLE...at Disney World?) in a paper cup. Click play on this video and let's get to it!
