🎙 What is episode 24 about?

In this episode, Willem and Rick take a virtual walk through Animal Kingdom Orlando. They take you through themed areas such as Pandora - The World of Avatar, Africa, Asia and DinoLand U.S.A.

Along the way, they discuss attractions and shows not to be missed, from Avatar Flight of Passage to the Festival of the Lion King. They also share tips on the best places to eat, relax and make the most of this green Disney park. In addition, they talk about the unique atmosphere that sets this park apart from other Disney parks: more nature, more animals and a more leisurely pace that really makes you feel like you're spending a day exploring.

🔍 What makes this Disney park unique?

There are countless reasons why a day in Animal Kingdom Orlando is a must-do during your trip to Florida:

  • Pandora - The World of Avatar With the spectacular attraction Flight of Passage
  • Kilimanjaro Safaris through the African savannah with giraffes and elephants
  • Expedition Everest: a roller coaster featuring the legendary Yeti
  • Festival of the Lion King: a colorful show full of song and dance
  • Evening shows and atmosphere who bring the park to life

Those who visit Animal Kingdom quickly realize that this park offers a very different experience than, say, Magic Kingdom or EPCOT. The combination of impressive rides, live animals and natural areas here makes you sometimes literally forget that you are in an amusement park. The pace is slower and there is a lot of attention to detail, making for a relaxing, yet adventurous day.
