Creator's Key Takeaways

I know I always say Animal Kingdom is my least favorite, but it is absolutely a gorgeous park.

I was a little too harsh on Animal Kingdom and I apologize to the Animal Kingdom fans out there and to Animal Kingdom itself.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Hydrate and wear sunscreen as it is a hot park.
Eat meals during off-times (11:00 or 2:30) to avoid crowds.
Use mobile order for quick service dining.
Arrive early to see animals before they retreat to the shade from the heat.
