Disney's Animal Kingdom for my last visit to WDW Theme Parks for Summer 2020.

Today's adventure brings us to Walt
0:02
Disney World for my final visit to one
0:06
of its theme parks for this July 2020
0:08
trip. And it will be taking place at
0:11
Animal Kingdom.
0:14
I'm ready. Looks to be plenty of parking
0:17
available.
0:19
It's about 11:00 a.m. on Friday, July
0:22
24th.
0:24
Still no tram service at the moment.
0:28
just parked over here at the the edge of
0:31
the lot.
0:38
Always a good rule of thumb to document
0:38
the spot. I'm in Peacock 15. That way
0:42
you don't have to rely on your memory
0:43
for later. Welcome everyone. Adam the
0:46
Woo here. Even though I am not departing
0:48
the state of Florida till the end of the
0:50
month,
0:53
going into the Disney parks is going to
0:57
be completed today. Making four visits
1:02
to Epcot, three to Magic Kingdom, three
1:06
to Hollywood Studios, and two, this will
1:09
be two out at after after this. It will
1:12
be two at Animal Kingdom.
1:15
I have fully documented
1:18
July, the reopenings of WDW.
1:22
It's been fun.
1:25
I'm inviting you to join me,
1:29
shall you? Which, if my math is correct,
1:33
puts it at a dozen 12
1:36
solid days, not in a row, but 12 solid
1:39
days spaced out throughout the course of
1:40
this month.
1:46
No park hopping, individual parks on
1:46
different days. 12's a good round
1:49
number. Certainly a time I will look
1:51
back on as a historical
1:54
moment,
1:56
that's for sure. All right, it's
1:58
screening time. Time for a screening.
2:01
97.6.
2:12
As you make your way in, you pass these
2:12
very beautiful waterfalls and rock
2:15
formations. And after turning the
2:18
corner, you're presented with the Tree
2:19
of Life straight ahead. Going to head
2:21
over to Expedition Everest. Oh, yeah.
2:24
One of my favorites out here. And it's
2:25
interesting because the Yeti's up at the
2:27
top of Everest, but he also has an
2:29
establishment here, a restaurant called
2:30
the Yaken Yeti. I guess his partner must
2:33
run it while he's up there frightening
2:35
folks at the top of the peak. This would
2:37
be pretty nice to get around the park
2:38
in. Yeah, this would this would really
2:40
get you around in in style right here.
2:42
Oh man, it's just saying come on over. I
2:44
am. I am. Oh, dang. He's also got a
2:47
palace. He has the the the Palace Hotel
2:49
opening next season. Does not appear to
2:51
be too long of a wait. At least that's
2:53
what I could tell from this angle. There
2:56
comes the ride vehicle. Oh yeah. I'm in
2:59
road number seven and tagging along
3:03
world of Micah. Oh yes. Fancy meeting
3:06
you here.
3:07
Yeah, man. Very fancy.
3:16
We're about to go up, up, up, and up.
3:16
Oh, look at those view. I'm holding on
3:18
to my hat and I have the strap wrapped
3:21
around my elbow. I don't hopefully that
3:24
works. You think that'll
3:26
tight? Hold on.
3:34
The dank track is out again.
3:34
This happens every time.
3:40
I need to get a hold of someone around
3:40
here and let them know about the hair
3:43
ties. Oh, we're going backwards.
3:44
Backwards. We're going back. This is
3:46
like days. This happened the last time.
4:02
Oh. Is that it? That's the end of it,
4:02
right?
4:02
Yeah, it is.
4:03
Oh, man.
4:05
Woo. I think. Oh, who's that?
4:09
I think that's the Yeti right there.
4:13
Oh, he's fixing the crash.
4:16
Okay, you're fix Wait, what's happening?
4:18
What's happening right now?
4:20
We're dropping.
4:21
Wait, we're
4:43
Oh man. Oh, we're done. This is This is
4:43
going on way too long. Oh my god. Okay,
4:45
we're done. We're finished. We're
4:47
finished. No, we're not finished.
4:50
There he is.
4:56
A piece of cake.
4:56
Yeah. Fine. I handle I handle that like
4:59
a champ.
5:00
Yeah, me too. No sweat. No sweat.
5:08
I might have to do that a couple more
5:08
times. What's going on?
5:14
Put the hand back. Oh, I still got it.
5:14
Little bit attached to my elbow.
5:28
We are
5:51
And now on to dinosaur. It says standby
5:52
entrance only 5 minutes.
5:54
It's passed. Wait, it's it's fast. It's
5:56
a blast and it's in the pass. I messed
5:58
that up. They just informed us it's
6:00
going to be about 10 minutes while they
6:02
clean the vehicles. So, a little bit
6:04
more than five minutes, but it's good.
6:06
They have to they do this uh
6:08
occasionally every every few rounds,
6:09
which will give me a chance to dispense
6:12
a little bit of this self-d dispensing.
6:14
I'm still not 100% sure what they use
6:16
that they're spraying out of that
6:18
container,
6:20
but they have the plexiglass up between
6:23
the between the rows and using that
6:26
little spray container.
6:36
It seems what they do is after they
6:36
spray it down, they run all of them
6:38
through the entire attraction on the
6:40
cycle just to air it out. So, it's a
6:42
little bit of a waste, you know, just
6:44
once the stuff is applied, you have to
6:46
you have to have the air going through
6:48
the breeze going through the dyno ride
6:49
and then loop back around and then we
6:52
board. So, you'll notice how these are
6:54
empty
6:55
from cycling through. Spacing out the
6:57
seats as well. There's no one in front
6:59
of us. They have the plexiglass. And
7:02
over here, no one between. I guess we
7:04
both technically we can sit next to each
7:05
other. We did on Everest, but we're
7:07
choosing not to.
7:15
All right. Where's it up?
7:15
I was just told to remove my glasses and
7:17
my hat.
7:54
Wow, that was intense. That just
7:54
happened.
8:00
Don't need to go to a chiropractor
8:00
anymore.
8:01
It's all part of the experience. Yeah.
8:03
States's only 5 minutes for the safari.
8:05
All right, it's happening. Hello.
8:13
Up in front of the Well, it's not
8:13
Plexiglass, but it's Danny 702 and Eddie
8:15
here in front. Can you guys hear me up
8:17
there?
8:17
Yeah, I can hear you fine.
8:18
Can you hear me?
8:19
What?
8:26
Hello there.
8:26
And we are also moving around this
8:27
termite mound here. And termites, they
8:30
make these mounds as hard as concrete.
8:32
They like to use dirt mixed with a bit
8:34
of saliva and gum. They chew it all up
8:37
and spit it out. They cut really hard
8:39
concrete like this really long purple
8:41
prehensil tongues. Those tongues help
8:43
them to reach high at food like those
8:45
branches and leaves there. Their tongues
8:47
are around your longest finger to your
8:50
elbow.
8:50
Oh wow, look right there.
8:52
So long in fact that they could pretty
8:54
easily lick their own eyeballs. They
8:56
really
8:56
Hello.
8:59
And the purple color of their tongues
9:00
just helps to prevent their tongues from
9:02
getting sunburned. Comes in handy if
9:05
they couldn't find any good watering
9:06
holes nearby.
9:09
Now, elephants do have the second
9:11
longest childhood. The young ones like
9:13
to hang out with mom for about 13 to 15
9:16
years of their life. Of course, the
9:18
males are typically kicked out first.
9:20
They like to preserve their water by not
9:22
sweating until they reach over 115°
9:26
F.
9:32
Now, they are one of my favorite animals
9:32
here on the reserve. They have a
9:34
wonderful success story.
9:42
And these beautiful guys were in fact
9:42
100% extinct out in the wild until a
9:45
couple of conservation teams decided to
9:47
come together and they helped breed
9:49
them. Then they re-released them out
9:51
into the wild. So, they are no longer
9:54
extinct. That project is known as
10:21
Everyone on the right, watch your hands,
10:21
our feet laid, short, sliding up, and
10:22
watch your step getting out. Planet
10:24
wash. I've never done this before. About
10:26
to board a train. Oh, this is gonna be
10:28
fun. Ride a train together. How about
10:33
your gift
10:44
between your party and keep your face
10:44
covering on?
10:47
Have you guys ever done this before?
10:49
I have. Mic's done it. Danny's done it.
10:52
Eddie, have you ever done it?
10:53
Okay. It's going to be our first time,
10:55
you and I.
10:56
No spoilers. No spoilers.
10:58
Well, he's not here.
10:59
Oh, okay. I don't want to know what
11:01
happens.
11:02
On the boat
11:14
Just a little bit.
11:14
Wow. Take a look at this. That's cool.
11:16
That's just the restroom.
11:18
Oh.
11:19
Oh my goodness. There's a bunch of goats
11:20
over there.
11:22
Reminds me of the Disneyland goats back
11:25
where Big Thunder Barbecue used to kind
11:27
of be and Big Thunder Trail before they
11:29
turned it into one of the entrances of
11:31
Galaxy's Edge. I miss those goats. I'm
11:34
kind of living vicariously through the
11:36
Walt Disney World goats at Animal
11:38
Kingdom. Being reminded of the Anaheim
11:40
goats.
11:43
I
11:43
see that face, but I'm confused. Have
11:45
you been good or bad?
11:49
That's a bad joke. They're all waiting
11:51
for their afternoon feed. So, John just
11:53
like I see. I can see that moving
11:55
around.
11:56
See that hunger in their faces.
11:58
I thought you guys were making eye
12:00
contact with me for a second, but really
12:02
you just want some cow.
12:04
Are you coming over to say hi? Oh,
12:06
you're just going for the food. Okay.
12:07
See, see how it is.
12:09
Her main trainer is in there and usually
12:10
that's when they get pulled out. Like I
12:12
think she might have for me.
12:20
So, I just the food in her yard and then
12:20
the gate and then I need some chicken.
12:22
Aren't you going to get a meal?
12:45
That's Daisy. until she was born just in
12:45
January. So, she's about 6 almost 7
12:47
months old.
12:49
And then that's a I put some water in
12:51
there. So, she'll probably she'll walk
12:52
around and get all muddy, too. She's
12:53
super cute whenever she does that. And
12:55
Charlotte really loves the attention
12:56
from other animals as well. So, between
12:59
both of the pigs, they'll actually go
13:00
and they'll just lay down inside of a
13:02
pile of hay.
13:03
That's a good idea right there. Staying
13:05
cool in the mud.
13:07
Love that attention.
13:12
Yeah, it's like a little puddle of mud
13:12
there. I've always heard that Animal
13:14
Kingdom is the warmest of the theme park
13:16
properties. And this might drive the
13:18
point home. They're keeping their candy
13:20
bars in a cooler. They do not keep the
13:22
chocolate outdoors cuz it might melt.
13:23
And there's some M&M's and Snickers up
13:25
there also in a frozen cooler. So, what
13:28
is this, Micah? That's the side profile
13:30
of Belaloo the Bear from the Jungle
13:32
Book.
13:32
Oh, yeah. I see I see Belaloo there.
13:34
It's like kind of incorporated into the
13:35
brick work in this in this little
13:37
restaurant area. I would have never
13:38
known about that. Nice. That's Belaloo.
13:40
If you're going to go with the final
13:41
ride, it might as well be final
13:43
attraction, I should say. Expedition. I
13:45
can hear the screaming. They're making
13:47
an announcement right now. And standing
13:49
here inside the the Yeti Museum. It's
13:52
almost like a roadside attraction of
13:55
sorts when it comes to Yeti
13:57
paraphernalia.
13:59
Oh, it's bright. I got to get these
14:00
glasses on.
14:02
Get my glasses. I can't see without my
14:05
glasses. See without my glasses.
14:08
All right. Round two.
14:11
They say the second time is more
14:13
meaningful.
14:14
Okay.
14:15
It's way over there. You can see for
14:17
miles
14:19
and miles. You think the track
14:22
There's no way the tracks out.
14:26
Most likely. Yeah.
14:31
So much.
14:31
There's still hair ties over on that
14:33
side also. And for whatever reason,
14:35
there's hair ties on that. It's going
14:36
backwards. We're going back now. Oh,
14:39
here we go. Oh, yeah.
14:41
Oh,
15:43
I hope it's not over. I only think it's
15:43
over. There he is. Right there.
15:46
I handled that like a pro. How'd you
15:49
guys do back there?
15:50
Yeah, we're still here. I handled it
15:51
like a champ. I was nothing. Walk in the
15:55
park.
