Disney World Is Going Thru Some Major Changes- Animal Kingdom Is EMPTY / Walking On Rides & NO Lines
Disney's Animal Kingdom 2025

Today's adventure begins, as a recording
0:02
of Thursday, October 2nd,
0:06
2025. I have arrived at the parking lot
0:09
of Disney's Animal Kingdom theme park,
0:12
and you can see plenty of parking spaces
0:14
left. I have parked here towards the
0:17
back end, but there is tons more room.
0:20
It is not a busy day. I checked the wait
0:21
time earlier at home on the My Disney
0:24
Experience app and thought, "Wow, due to
0:26
the storm that culminated this morning
0:28
and has now passed, it's not very busy."
0:31
So, popping over. It's also a good to go
0:35
day. Don't even need to make a
0:36
reservation. Welcome everyone. Adam the
0:39
Woo here. It's about 1:30 p.m. I believe
0:42
the park usually closes earlier than the
0:44
other three parks. There are four total
0:47
WDW parks. I have to be completely
0:49
honest, out of the four, this is the one
0:51
I go to the least, but I have been going
0:53
here more than I used to. Starting to
0:57
get a little nostalgia for Animal
0:59
Kingdom. Opened in 1998, same year that
1:02
the Tampa Bay Rays started as well. I'm
1:06
going to pop in and just see uh see
1:08
what's happening. Been a while. Also,
1:10
some things have closed. Some
1:11
construction updates are happening. It's
1:14
been a little while since I've been in
1:15
here. So, let me pop in. Join me. It's
1:17
good to have you here. The sun's coming
1:19
out, shall you?
1:22
Park closed at 6:00. It's 1:33 now, so
1:25
plenty of time because the wait times
1:28
are super mellow. Check out the safari.
1:31
15 minutes for Kilamjara Safari. Not bad
1:35
at all. 5 minutes for Guerilla Falls
1:38
Exploration Trek.
1:41
Five for Wilderness Express Train. Let's
1:44
get over here to the nitty-gritty.
1:46
Dinosaur.
1:48
A whopping 5 minutes
1:51
and only 15 for Expedition Everest. Oh
1:55
yeah. Oh yeah.
1:58
That's beautiful. I'm going to pop in,
2:00
grab a coffee, meander around a little
2:03
bit,
2:05
and then do an attraction or two.
2:07
Definitely got to do Dinosaur because
2:09
that's going to be closing into early
2:12
2026. And as much as I travel, I hardly
2:16
ever know if I'm going to be here on a
2:17
final day. So, got to get the got to get
2:19
those last dinosaur rides in. I'm sure
2:21
this won't be my last one, but it'll be
2:23
one of my last. It's always amazing how
2:25
well she blends in to the foliage. And
2:28
then when she steps over, then you can
2:30
see her walking around. But when she's
2:32
over next to the bushes and the ferns,
2:35
she's a lot more in disguise there.
2:37
>> Oh, now she's going up against the pole
2:39
there. She just blends in so well.
2:42
That's always kind of cool when you
2:43
first walk in seeing that. That is a
2:47
cotton top tamarind right there that I'm
2:49
looking at while I'm drinking my piping
2:51
hot caffeinated beverage that I just
2:52
got. He's kind of like tucked away
2:54
underneath. But now he's on top of that.
2:56
Cotton top tamarind is what they're
2:58
called. There's another one right over
3:00
there kind of walking the walking the
3:01
tight rope. He's not one. He's be camera
3:04
shy. He's looking the other way. Oh,
3:05
there's another one up top there.
3:06
There's another one right there. You
3:08
kind of see it through the through the
3:09
fencing. Here we go. Let's go. Here we
3:11
go. Take a little gander there with the
3:14
cotton top tamarind. This one, look at
3:17
this one. It's like upside down. It was
3:18
It was like hanging upside down getting
3:20
the leaf right there. It was nice. There
3:24
was not one person at Starbucks. I just
3:25
walked right in and uh grabbed a cup and
3:28
joe. Went with a pumpkin spice latte
3:30
because it is October and it's in full
3:33
Halloween season this entire month. Even
3:35
here at Animal Kingdom, they are just
3:38
out in full force after the ride. These
3:40
things are so so dang cool, right? Look
3:43
at that thing. A view of the tree of
3:44
life here. Kind of obscured by some
3:46
other smaller trees in front. But the
3:47
reason I'm standing here is because of
3:49
these pink flamingos. And obviously I do
3:51
think of John Waters that film, but more
3:54
than John Waters film nine n00 times
3:57
more than I think of the John Waters
3:58
film. I always think of Thre's Company
4:00
and I think of Terry in the intro at the
4:03
LA Zoo standing next to the pig
4:06
flamingos. Every time I see any see
4:08
flamingos anywhere, I always always
4:10
think of Thre's Company. In fact, I
4:12
didn't even think of the other reference
4:13
until I was just standing here and I
4:14
said it out loud. Uh, two totally
4:16
different types of entertainment, folks.
4:18
Uh, John Waters and Pre Company. And
4:20
behind the flamingo are two lapidfaced
4:24
vultures. They are hard to see, but
4:26
they're way back there. There's two of
4:28
them kind of perched on those two pieces
4:30
of wood back there. I think one of them
4:32
just uh is like scratching its neck or
4:35
something. They're kind of like on
4:36
either side of the screen. Like one
4:38
right there in the center of the screen.
4:39
You can barely barely see them. And then
4:42
the other one right there in the center
4:43
as well. So there are two lapitaced
4:48
vultures or leetfaced vultures with a
4:52
wingspan up to 9 ft. And you got to
4:54
wonder how long it's going to be before
4:55
they take this sign down. Dino Land USA.
4:58
Lots changing back here. I see a crane
5:00
back there. I see a big crane over this
5:03
bridge. And they have removed a lot
5:04
since the last time I was here. It's
5:06
looking empty. And take a look at the
5:08
crane way up there. This is really
5:11
vastly emptier than it was the last time
5:13
I was here. The whole carnival area over
5:15
there, the boneyard that they had up
5:16
here that you could go up and dig around
5:18
in the sand and find the dino bones. All
5:21
that's been removed. I guess the only
5:23
real thing back here still would be
5:25
Dinosaur the Ride. The whole, you know,
5:27
the gift shop that was back there is
5:29
closed. You still see the buildings.
5:31
Triceratops spin all that
5:34
>> erased from existence.
5:39
>> Piece of heavy machinery right there
5:40
next to next to the dinosaur. What's
5:43
that? Trilobytes.
5:45
How you pronounce that?
5:52
Possibly. This is going to be the new
5:52
area which is going to have Encanto and
5:54
some other things.
5:57
You have to go all the way around.
6:00
You
6:00
>> get the dinosaur in the
6:02
restaurantosaurus.
6:03
>> Yeah. See,
6:06
>> here's the encanto area
6:08
>> right there. This is going to be
6:11
dinosaur. It's going to be a new
6:13
overlay, completely redone. Same ride
6:15
track. It's going to be Indiana Jones, a
6:17
new Indiana Jones type of excursion from
6:20
what I'm hearing is not going to be the
6:22
same as Indie out in Anaheim. So,
6:25
that'll be kind of nice to have a
6:26
different Indie, but it's the same ride
6:27
vehicles, same ride track. I've even
6:29
heard too. I've never completely
6:31
confirmed that, but even Dinosaur and
6:33
India, I guess, are the same ride track
6:34
or at least very very similar. So, it'
6:36
be kind of a I don't want to say an easy
6:38
overlay, but at least they're not
6:39
building from scratch. They just got to
6:40
tear down the dinosaur theming and put
6:43
and put Indie in there.
6:46
Yeah. Take a look at this little
6:49
corridor walkway through here.
6:52
Construction update.
6:55
Man, this is something. I haven't been
6:57
here in a while. I haven't been here
6:58
since all these walls and everything
7:00
went up.
7:07
This could be a haunt on its own. You
7:07
got some scarectors in here jumping out
7:09
at people.
7:11
Little walls everywhere. Yeah, pretty
7:13
soon this logo is going to be a thing of
7:15
the past. This logo
7:19
soon to be extinct.
7:21
That is for sure.
7:35
>> You know, in all reality, there has been
7:35
so many things changing on Walt Disney
7:37
World property in the LA, you know,
7:39
announcements in the last couple years.
7:42
I'm trying to think of another time in
7:43
recent
7:45
recent time frame in the last 10 years
7:47
where there's been this much this many
7:50
changes coming to WDW.
7:53
Been a while. It's fast. It's a blast.
7:55
and is soon to really be in the past. I
7:58
mean, it's the theming is in the past,
7:59
but this whole attraction is about to be
8:02
way back in the past. Just think years
8:05
from now, we'll look back at this and
8:06
people will be like, "What? There was a
8:08
dinosaur? There used to be a dinosaur
8:09
ride, even though it's been here forever
8:11
and ever and ever." You know, you think
8:12
of 20, 30 years from now, they're going
8:14
to be like, "All they're going to know
8:16
here is in the Indiana Jones." They're
8:18
not going to know this creature. What
8:20
are they going to do with all these
8:21
bones?
8:23
Where are these going to end up? Or this
8:25
one. Or this prop. Where is this thing
8:27
going to go? That thing won't fit in the
8:29
archives out in
8:30
>> Burbank.
8:37
I mean, to quote Indiana Jones, it
8:37
belongs in a museum.
8:40
>> Probably won't go in one though.
8:42
Probably be a dumpster somewhere.
8:53
There's another turtle underneath the
8:53
root system of that tree.
8:55
>> There's a goose.
9:04
Oh, there's a snake.
9:04
And the line pretty much starts right
9:05
here. They're saying it's a 15minute
9:07
wait. I think that's pretty accurate,
9:09
which this thing will get up to, you
9:10
know, 45 minutes to an hour sometimes.
9:12
So, I can handle 15, that's for sure.
9:16
15's almost just a walk on. And pretty
9:17
much the next room after this, you're in
9:19
the pre-show.
9:32
Tell me
9:32
your eyes.
10:21
Time travel commencing tus 10 seconds.
10:21
I'm counting.
10:23
>> This is secret.
10:25
>> Stop for a second.
10:42
>> Okay,
10:42
>> let's go get that dino computer. What
10:45
are you tracking?
10:55
>> Raptor.
10:56
>> Time to get serious.
10:58
>> Identify. What is that?
11:05
That's right. Move it.
11:05
>> Oh, wow.
11:08
>> Warning.
11:09
>> Get them out now.
11:11
>> Hold on to that wall.
11:14
>> Here we go.
11:14
>> Brace yourself. This is it.
11:23
>> Yeah, that's exhilarating. Look at this.
11:23
Now, this is the queue now.
11:25
Look at the amount of people that are in
11:27
this. No one's even walking in over
11:29
there. Slow
11:46
I've never seen this shirt before.
11:46
That's cool. The future is truly
11:50
in the past. also have hats,
12:08
>> So, used to you used to walk out this
12:08
way and you'd walk over into the really
12:10
quirky, kitschy gift shop that was over
12:12
here, but that's all blocked off now.
12:14
Man, I love that gift shop, too. All
12:16
right, going back through the land of
12:17
walls.
12:19
Got butterflies on this side. Oh, they
12:21
have butterflies on the other side, too.
12:22
I just didn't notice them first time I
12:24
walked past this. Future's going to be
12:27
the tropical Americas.
12:30
No more dinos.
12:45
>> I was noticing that Expedition Everest
12:45
was only a five, maybe 10 minute wait
12:47
after I got off Dinosaur. I don't think
12:49
I'm going to do Expedition Evers today.
12:50
I do it every time I'm here. It's just
12:52
uh I feel like maybe I'll just do go
12:55
over to Harambe and go over to the
12:57
safari and do that. Do something a
12:59
little bit a little bit mellow.
13:00
Dinosaur. I don't know if it's just me,
13:02
but just older I get. It is it's pretty
13:04
rough. So is Indie. Sign out front said
13:07
10-minute wait for the safari. There's
13:10
the booking office.
13:12
Keep on strolling through.
13:15
This might be a complete walk-on.
13:26
And again, I don't know how many animals
13:26
are going to be visible after. It looks
13:29
like it might actually rain again
13:31
shortly because there's another couple
13:33
storm clouds rolling out. So, see how
13:35
that goes.
13:38
>> I mean, I walked right up to basically
13:40
where the lightning lane merges with the
13:42
regular line.
14:09
>> They're only they're only utilizing one
14:09
side.
14:11
>> So, usually if it's a busy day, they
14:13
load both sides. This is just just using
14:15
the one side today. It's
14:18
>> a one-sided death.
14:28
>> Photography chips. It's not possible to
14:28
stop the vehicle for photographs. Have
14:29
your camera ready. Animals might be app
14:31
might appear at any point.
14:35
Please disable camera flashes after
14:37
sunset. Well, the park closes before
14:39
sunset. It closes at 6:00, so won't have
14:41
that issue. Sometimes the parks open
14:42
after sunset, but more times than not,
14:45
it closes before sunset.
14:52
>> This old school camera, well, actually
14:52
high-tech camera
14:54
>> sitting in the back row, sitting in road
14:57
number.
15:01
I think it's rolling in right now. Here
15:01
it comes. Pulling into the station.
15:04
>> It's the safari vehicle. Nitro. Ninth
15:08
row on this far corner.
15:11
Wi-Fi.
15:13
>> If there's any of those little ones you
15:14
have sitting next to you or on your lap,
15:16
they must remain safely seated at all
15:18
times. This road is very bumpy and not
15:20
really driving, so it's for everyone's
15:21
safety. If you look above your head,
15:23
you'll find an animal spotting guide.
15:24
It'll help you identify some of the
15:25
animals out here on a reserve. And if
15:27
you're planning on taking any photos of
15:28
those animals, I do recommend you
15:30
putting your phone or camera in live
15:31
action or sports mode so you get the
15:34
best photos possible as I did not make
15:35
that many stops from the animals. They
15:37
did not stop us.
15:38
All that said, we did just enter the
15:40
little Aturi forest. Here in the forest,
15:41
animals love to use camouflage as their
15:43
main form of defense. So exciting.
15:45
>> That means use their color in their
15:46
patterns to hide in the trees and the
15:47
bushes. So just keep your eyes there.
15:49
Over to your right hand side is going to
15:50
be an oppos.
15:52
>> Now these striped legs of an okopy may
15:53
make you think they're related to
15:54
zebras, but they're actually related to
15:56
the giraffe.
15:57
>> They can tell because of their skull
15:58
shape and because their prehensile
16:00
tongue
16:02
prehensile in your life, you can pick
16:04
these up with that tongue. Same figures.
16:06
They can also clean their own ears,
16:08
eyes, and nose with it as it is about 18
16:10
inches long. Their eyes, females will
16:12
have a golden eye while males will have
16:13
a dark brown or black eye. There's a
16:15
black rhy over to your left hand side.
16:16
If you look past the log, you might be
16:18
able to see him. He's on the left side
16:20
next to the half wall.
16:26
>> Our black rhinos are the smaller of the
16:26
two species of rhino we have here on our
16:28
reserve. They weigh about 3,000 lbs.
16:30
They can gall
16:32
four of their feet come off the ground
16:33
as they run.
16:36
Now, they are a forager.
16:38
>> Look at the nest up there.
16:42
>> Unfortunately, rhinos, they are
16:43
endangered. That's because they're being
16:44
coached for their horns. So, a lot of
16:46
people think that their horns have a
16:47
medicinal value to them, meaning that
16:48
they can be used in medicine. But they
16:50
do not, and they're made of the same
16:52
material that our hair and our nails are
16:53
made out of, that is keratin. That's why
16:55
it's super important. We spread good
16:56
information about them. If you look over
16:58
to the left hand side, kind of at the
17:00
top of the hill, you might be able to
17:01
see a kind of orangey rustal animal with
17:03
horns. That's the a bongo. see the
17:05
bongo. So, bongos are known as the
17:06
ghosts of the forest because they are
17:08
very shy and highly reclusive. Not any
17:09
sign of danger though, by the way,
17:11
you'll probably never see them again.
17:12
Both male and bongos, they will have
17:14
those horns. The way you can find any
17:17
more out here. We made our way to the
17:19
outskirts of that forest. It's called
17:20
the Santi River. Now, the Santi River is
17:22
home to more aquatic animals. So, just
17:24
keep your eyes to the water.
17:26
>> Bananas. [laughter]
17:28
Over to our right hand side, we're going
17:29
to have a couple of pig pelos. They're
17:31
the really big white and gray palas that
17:32
we see. Our pebbles, they get their name
17:35
because their backs are in a bright
17:36
shade of pink during many season. That
17:37
goes all the way up their cheeks to make
17:39
it look like they are blushing.
17:41
They're what we call a colonial nesters.
17:43
That means they nest in groups of about
17:44
500. They're also one of the only
17:46
pelicans that will nest in trees.
17:56
>> That is because hippotus actually means
17:56
rivers in Latin. They do not actually
17:58
swim. Instead, they're going to walk,
18:00
run, or bounce from the bottom of the
18:01
river, pushing themselves up. Whatever
18:03
they need some air.
18:05
See if we can't catch up with them.
18:06
There's two. They're walking just next
18:08
to this little island here.
18:09
>> Right there. See them?
18:12
>> Right there.
18:14
>> Look at there. There it is.
18:17
>> Say hi, hippo.
18:20
>> Bye, hippo. They can't hold their breath
18:22
for about eight minutes at a time. They
18:23
can close their ears and their nostrils
18:25
stay in feet of water. If they have the
18:27
fall sleep while they're underneath the
18:28
water, they do not need to wake up.
18:29
Another one over to your left hand side.
18:31
Just there it goes.
18:34
Oh, there's your
18:37
Morris and now crocodile. Looks like
18:39
they are over to our left hand side.
18:41
Now, the one that's kind of halfway in
18:43
the grass is doing something called
18:44
thermore regulating. So, when they have
18:46
their mouths open like that, they're
18:47
either a little bit too hot or a little
18:49
bit too cold. So, they're going to help
18:50
maintain a steady body temperature by
18:52
doing that.
18:53
>> They're going to be about 16 ft long.
18:54
Females are the best palms. They're
18:56
actually GOING TO TAKE THEIR EGGS in
18:57
their mouth, roll them around a little
18:58
bit, and then crack them on the inside
19:00
of their teeth. Now, when they do that,
19:02
it helps them a little bit easier.
19:04
They'll travel thousands of miles across
19:05
the other sides to find whatever it is
19:07
they're looking for.
19:09
The zebra we see over to our right hand
19:10
side are the hearts and mountain zebras
19:12
that we can tell for two reasons. One is
19:14
because of their shr and the other is
19:15
because they have a dooap. Let's see if
19:18
we can get a view of that dap. If you
19:19
look to their neck, they do have a
19:21
little fluff of skin hanging down.
19:22
That's what a dooap is. It actually
19:24
helps them to cool down. So they'll send
19:26
blood to that dap. The wind cools it.
19:28
They circulate it through their bodies.
19:30
>> And again, the other reason is because
19:32
those stripes, if you look, they have a
19:34
white underbelly. Their stripes do not
19:36
go all the way around them. And that's
19:37
how we can tell. Now that is actually
19:40
really important and helps them maintain
19:41
a day by temperature. Over to your left
19:44
hand side, just next to the other zebra,
19:46
there is going to be a couple of stable
19:47
antelope. Now they sit in a very
19:49
interesting form. They're all looking in
19:51
a different direction. In a fight
19:52
orflight response, they will choose to
19:54
fight. So when they fight each other, it
19:56
actually doesn't work out.
19:57
>> Pressure is about 250 on average to help
20:00
them deal with that blood pressure. They
20:01
have a pretty big heart. The blood's at
20:03
the very top of their head. It's about
20:05
five It's about 2 feet in length and it
20:06
weighs about 25 lbs.
20:09
>> Maybe look
20:15
should have been over there with Jenny
20:15
draft.
20:16
>> No, they actually only have seven
20:17
vertebrae in their necks even though
20:18
their necks are incredibly long. That's
20:20
the same amount of vertebrae that we
20:21
have in ours.
20:23
Looks like we're going to get really
20:24
close to these ankle cattle. Now, their
20:27
horns work the exact same way that the
20:29
zebras do live does. So, they send blood
20:31
up to the honeycomb like structure in
20:32
these horns.
20:35
Look at the towels.
20:36
>> The wind will cool it and they will
20:37
circulate that through their bodies.
20:42
>> Wow.
20:42
>> Again, they are the ankle cattle.
20:44
They're also called the cattle after the
20:45
villagers who docuate them. Then when
20:49
baby giraffes are born, they have about
20:50
a six foot drop. That drop will jump
20:52
start.
20:53
They'll be up and running within the
20:55
hour.
20:57
>> There's also a curly top. They have the
20:59
same tongue back from earlier. It's
21:01
about 18 hours long.
21:04
>> They'll eat for about 20 hours every
21:05
single day. The other hours of the day,
21:07
you might think that they are sleeping,
21:08
but they'll only sleep for about 30
21:10
minutes every single day.
21:12
>> That they don't do it all at one time.
21:13
Instead, they do it in short little naps
21:15
throughout the day. 1 2 minutes a night.
21:17
elephant.
21:18
>> The elephant I saw over here. See the
21:20
elephant?
21:22
>> There's monkeys over there.
21:23
>> Looks like there might only be this one
21:25
elephant over. All right.
21:27
>> Now, I know I said that males like to be
21:29
by themselves, but sometimes they do
21:30
form what we call a bachelor herd. So,
21:32
bachelor herds are made of younger males
21:34
who just kicked out of their family herd
21:35
because they join a different herd or
21:37
make one of their own, but most of the
21:39
time they'll just stay under her mom.
21:42
So, there's a hierarchy in those herds
21:44
if mom does have multiples. So, if we
21:46
just want to kiss, we'll kind of fight
21:48
it out to see who takes over the knee
21:50
shark position.
21:56
Now, we are going to keep our eyes out
21:56
for them. Looks like they
21:58
>> might look
22:00
as long as
22:07
look right here.
22:07
>> Once again, white rhinos. There's going
22:09
to be another one over to our left hand
22:12
>> Oh my god.
22:19
You got another one coming up right in
22:19
front of us.
22:20
>> Right now, if you get a good look at
22:22
that mouth, they have a more square
22:23
shaped mouth. That was because they
22:25
actually got their name from a
22:26
mistransation. That mistransation is of
22:28
the word vit. So vit means wide shape of
22:32
their mouth again.
22:44
>> 2 and 1/2 ft tall. They're great. Great
22:44
animals to keep. They clean up the yards
22:46
from any loose home there. They also
22:48
provide milk. Now that
22:50
>> all those goats
22:50
>> can be used to make dairy items as well
22:52
as soap and lotion which villers use to
22:54
sell.
23:08
>> That was a pretty good
23:08
>> pretty good ride on the
23:10
>> safari. Again, Disney World opened in
23:14
71. Also, yesterday was Disney World's
23:17
anniversary.
23:19
>> October 1st, 1971. Animal King opened in
23:22
' 98. It
23:23
>> was also Epcot's birthday. Epcot opened
23:26
in ' 82.
23:32
>> One thing about the safari, as much as I
23:32
love it, it goes, it almost goes a
23:34
little too fast. It almost like a little
23:36
too fast. really hard to really get any
23:39
kind of good footage or photos. Even if
23:42
you're just take trying to take
23:43
pictures, the thing just moves along so
23:45
fast. Oh, here comes Kevin.
24:17
>> Even Kevin, she is confused by all the
24:17
construction walls.
24:20
>> What's behind there, Kevin?
24:27
She's here with the
24:27
>> train.
24:57
>> My favorite thing I like.
24:57
>> All right. Walked over to World of
24:59
Avatar now. Checking the wait times on
25:02
the app. It looks as if Na'vi River
25:05
Journey is 35 minutes
25:08
and Flight of Passage was 20 minutes.
25:10
Since when does Flight of Passage have a
25:12
shorter wait time than Na'vi River?
25:14
That's amazing. So, I am going to call
25:17
Na'vi Rivers Bluff
25:20
and I assume that it is shorter than 35
25:23
minutes. I'm going to walk over there
25:25
and look. I'm going to look walk over
25:28
there. Look, this doesn't seem too busy
25:29
back in here. Yeah, the 20 minutes.
25:33
>> The 20 minutes is for Flight of Passage.
25:35
The 30 is for Na'vi River. Let me test
25:38
it out. I mean, 20 minutes for Flight of
25:40
Passage is insanely low.
25:43
Let me test this out.
25:53
I'm going to say 10 minutes.
25:53
I am going to go on record and say 10
25:55
knots. I'll be able to tell once I get
25:58
up here and see the queue.
26:03
Oh,
26:04
it's a creature making some noises.
26:06
Might be saying that I might be off base
26:07
with my 10-minute.
26:10
Definitely not a half hour. Definitely
26:13
not.
26:15
a half hour. Oh, maybe I'm wrong.
26:18
Okay. Uh, the queue looks pretty full.
26:21
Okay, I stand corrected. It probably is
26:23
a half hour. Uh,
26:31
15 minutes. No, I'm going to stick I'm
26:31
going to stick by 10. I'm going to stick
26:33
by my 10.
26:35
I'm put the timer on. Just turned it on.
26:39
Just turned it on.
26:49
I've definitely seen this queue much
26:49
busier
26:50
than it is right now. 11 minutes 27
26:54
seconds to where Lightning Lane merges
26:57
into the Lightning Lane merger. 11
27:00
minutes and I'll be on the ride in
27:02
probably 3 minutes from here. So, I just
27:04
passed Lightning Lane in 11 minutes.
27:08
Just like that. Minute later, I'm on it.
27:35
Heat.
28:08
I think my favorite part of that
28:08
attraction. I mean, I just love all the
28:10
the black lights when you're going
28:11
through there. Kind of wish it was a
28:13
little bit lengthier. See, the time you
28:15
start getting really into it, it's over.
28:18
But I really do enjoy that boat ride.
28:20
And the animatronic at the very end is
28:22
just so cool.
28:44
I'm kind of tempted to see what Flight
28:44
of Passage is.
28:46
I mean, if it's only if it's a walk-on,
28:48
how can I say no to that? I mean,
28:50
sometimes that thing gets to be an hour,
28:52
hour and a half wait.
28:54
This has to be a joke. I mean, it was
28:57
less than 15.
28:59
Oh my gosh. Could you imagine if this is
29:02
true? If it really is 10 minutes
29:06
for Flight of Passage, that is unheard
29:09
of.
29:35
I think the majority of what the wait
29:35
time is is just going to be walking up
29:37
here.
29:40
Haven't even stop forward motion yet.
30:07
still have not stopped forward motion
30:07
yet.
30:45
All right, slowing down just a little
30:45
bit right here. Still haven't stopped.
30:48
Just slowing down.
30:56
I've been in line 3 minutes and 30
30:56
seconds.
32:01
Not even any time to stop and check out
32:01
this impressive little animatronic. That
32:04
is just so freaking cool. But keep
32:07
moving. Not complaining though. I'm
32:10
going to get on this thing in less than
32:11
10 minutes.
32:36
>> Not even 8 minutes going in the
32:36
pre-show.
32:38
>> Amazing.
32:41
I'm telling you, this is like unheard
32:44
>> All done here.
32:45
>> They're all clear.
32:46
>> Great.
32:47
>> Now, let's go over how all this works.
32:50
Like I said before, you're going to find
32:52
you your avatar matches.
32:58
>> Let's get you into the link chamber.
32:58
>> Welcome in everyone. You will be
33:00
restrained at a height above the ground
33:01
and the floor is going to move. picked
33:03
up if you're height, prone motion,
33:04
sickness, or cannot remain seated for 4
33:07
and a half minutes and would like to opt
33:08
out. Please let me know in the next
33:10
room. 13 follow me. 93 will follow
33:13
behind the front row.
33:17
>> Attention drivers, stow your gear on the
33:19
back wall and then get onto the link the
33:21
way we showed you in the video. Then put
33:23
on your flight.
33:24
>> That was a lot of fun.
33:26
I've probably only done Flight of
33:27
Passage maybe five times in my entire
33:29
life
33:30
and I feel like each time I go on it, I
33:33
actually enjoy it more than the prior
33:35
time. Starting to starting to enjoy it a
33:38
little bit more now. The last time I
33:41
went on it, it's probably I don't know 7
33:43
8 months ago, it was when I first saw
33:46
both the two Avatar films that are out.
33:48
I had never been in here
33:54
since watching the films until the last
33:54
time I was in here over in the world of
33:57
Avatar.
34:02
So now I kind of have a little bit more
34:02
appreciation for this land, even though
34:04
I had been in this land dozens of times
34:07
before I'd seen the films. And I'm
34:08
looking forward to the the third and
34:11
fourth. I think there's going to be a
34:12
fourth one.
34:19
Oh, there's a bird birds of paradise
34:19
flower right there.
34:22
So, it took me 7 and 12 minutes
34:25
to walk at a brisk pace. I would say
34:27
probably 5 minutes of that. I didn't
34:30
even
34:31
stop forward motion at all. And I to be
34:34
honest, I never stopped forward motion,
34:36
but it slowed down towards the end.
34:43
But even walking at a brisk pace, it
34:43
took me seven and a half minutes to walk
34:45
to the pre-show. And then the pre first
34:47
pre-show was five minutes and then the
34:48
second pre-show was five minutes. And
34:49
then the attraction itself is like a
34:52
4-minute ride.
34:57
But just walking to the front, just
34:58
walking to the first pre-show,
35:00
7 and 1/2 minutes.
35:07
That's how far back it is up in there.
35:07
This might rival Indiana Jones, the
35:09
Indiana Jones ride, the Temple of the
35:12
Forbidden Eye at Disneyland at Anaheim.
35:15
That one's way, way back in there. This
35:18
one might rival that and actually be
35:20
long take longer to walk
35:23
to the first section to get on the ride
35:24
vehicle than even that is.
35:27
You get your steps in though. But man, I
35:30
just walked right on. Just walked right
35:31
on.
35:52
What a great day.
35:52
Walked on everything.
35:56
>> Beautiful.
35:57
Had a good safari run. Really good
36:00
safari run. Sometimes the animals aren't
36:02
that abundant
36:06
that time of the day,
36:09
but they were out and they were just
36:10
right next to the vehicles, which were
36:11
great.
36:14
Yeah. Animal Kingdom Day for the win.
36:23
Going to head home, watch some
36:23
postseason baseball. My Rays are
36:25
eliminated, but there are three
36:28
wild card games that are tied up. one
36:31
and one and all three of those games
36:33
tonight decide which of those three
36:36
teams
36:37
advance to their to the next level for
36:39
them.
36:41
Of course, my again my Rays I'm not in
36:44
the postseason
36:46
but I'm still going to watch a little
36:48
postseason baseball. How can you not?
36:49
It's freaking great. I just got no horse
36:52
in the race.
36:54
I do love some baseball though.
36:58
And that's going to do it for today.
36:59
Hey, thanks for watching. I appreciate
37:02
it. Glad you tuned in. Glad you stuck
37:05
around.
37:11
It's a good day. I just stepped on a
37:11
leaf. I did have a wild time. I did.
37:15
Wait a second. Where's it at?
37:18
I did have a wild time.
37:26
I had a wild and empty animal kingdom.
37:26
Animal Kingdom was empty. I mean, there
37:28
were people in there. It wasn't like I
37:29
was the only one in there, but in
37:30
comparison to how Animal Kingdom usually
37:33
is, that was empty. I'll see you in the
37:36
next video. The vlog is over.
