Creator's Key Takeaways

I'm very impressed that we're getting an attraction with an audio animatronic because all of this I don't know why they wouldn't lead with that, but I think uh what I'm going to talk about next is probably why Disney didn't lead with that.

That's the bad part. Um, so I totally understand people being upset about that. I get that. That's that's not great.

I'm very torn here. I I would ask you what your comments are, but I assume everyone's going to be upset there's no human animator, and rightfully so.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Get to Animal Kingdom just a little bit before 6:00 PM during extended evening hours to do other attractions before the list opens.
Hurry up and grab Dino Land USA merchandise at Island Merkantile before it's gone for good.
