Every single staff member we came into contact with was super friendly. Even other visitors were commenting on this. Their safety practices are thorough. I felt comfortable with their safety practices. The wooden roller coaster is way more than it looks. For a small coaster, it packs a lot of punch! We ride front seat and back seat. If you are prone toto neck and back issues, do not ride the back cars lol. Why did i not give five stars? My very favorite ride in the planet is the tilt a whirl and before getting our wristbands were specifically asked if it was running. It starts at 6pm on weeknights. We left the park for a few hours and came back at 6pm only to be told that was the only ride not operating. I know this happens but i was super bummed. It really was the main reason we went there.

They told me they did not believe me that my husband and son were in there and caused a scene! The most ridiculous thing I've ever seen here. We were just here a few months ago and did not have this problem. I feel like they were being very racist because they let a whole black family of kids very younger come in and never even question them, but then the white people come in and give us a hard time. It's not a black-and-white thing but they made it that way and my family is actually half black ... their behavior was ridiculous. He actually told me that I need to go watch my kids. you've been coming here for seven years. I've never experienced anything like this.

Go here in the morning first thing to avoid the crowds and sometimes the overbearing heat! Excellent experience for family and kids to se especially in the morning as the first ride to avoid the crowds. There were so many animals already roaming around in the morning as they're just waking up and likely grazing food to start their day. The guides are funny and very knowledgeable for the kids and everyone will have a great time going on this ride. At the end, there's a little photo op to do do with some Safari jeep and overall, it's a really great start to enjoy the day at Animal Kingdom!

Oh, I really liked this ride. It's possible that's because it was the first ride we went on at…read moreDisney World. But it's a super ride and perfect for small children. My two year old was probably a bit confused about what was going on when we climbed into our safari vehicle, and I'm not sure she was totally on board throughout the ride to be honest. Although we've been to Lincoln Park Zoo, she was very very young at the time and would not remember being this close to an animal that wasn't on the level of a dog, snake, or turtle. So whilst I think being mere feet from giraffes, elephants, and wildebeests was unexpected, she said she enjoyed it. The driver was informative and didn't make the embarrassing jokes that the "captain" of the Jungle Cruise did, for which I'm thankful. In addition to the aforementioned animals, we came across black and white rhinos, lions, hippos, cheetahs, flamingos, and more. The ride was leisurely and comfortable, and there's no height requirement so anyone can ride. This was a lot of fun to start our first visit to Disney World. It's a very popular ride, apparently. 45+ minute wait times are not uncommon. We used a lightning lane to cut through most of it but we did have to wait 10 minutes or so before we got on. I'd definitely recommend lightening lanes for this one!

I love this park! If you do as well, the Boardwalk Inn, Beach & Yacht Club, and Swan hotel are…read moregreat options for staying on property. Also I believe these are all deluxe resorts, which offer exclusive late hours on a specific night. A quick 10 minute walk brings you to the International Gateway entrance, skip the long lines at the main entrance putting you right between France and the UK. I always find myself spending a lot of time in each country, all offering their own food, attraction, shopping, etc. In France, the shopping and Ratatouille ride. Japan has a great store to walk through. America offers a free concert series at their amphitheater during festival season. Try a Moonshine sour from the Regal Eagle Smokehouse. Norway for the Frozen ride & their princess breakfast is delicious(try the cheesy potato casserole, It's my Favorite!). Creations toward the front of the park is one of THE BEST merchandise stores throughout all 4 parks. A large selection of all things Disney collaborated into one store, if I'm looking for a specific item I can typically find it here. Don't skip out on Club Cool right across the way sponsored by Coca-Cola offering free samples of sodas from around the world.

We arrived at Epcot during a graduation trip for my daughter and her three friends and were stopped…read morefrom entering because of a note placed on our account by Tyler at Animal Kingdom. That is why this review belongs here. A dispute at one park followed us to another and disrupted the celebration we had paid for. We had been Disney annual passholders for over five years and had spent hundreds of thousands of dollars with the company. This trip was my graduation gift to Yasmine and her three friends: a week at Myrtle Beach followed by a week at Disney. The original dispute began at Animal Kingdom when a ride was down as we tried to use our paid Lightning Lane access. I asked for a replacement pass. The interaction escalated into residency questions after I mentioned we had flown in. We had flown from Myrtle Beach as part of this two-state graduation trip and had one-way plane tickets documenting the journey. Then we were stopped at Epcot because of Tyler's note. Other members of our group were subsequently cleared after providing documentation. Yasmine remained blocked. She had turned 18 less than 30 days earlier and had been an annual passholder with us for years. I accepted that turning 18 meant she could be required to provide her own residency proof. What I challenged was why she had to provide a Florida-issued ID when the other seven members of our group were cleared without one, and Disney's website lists alternative residency documents. During this ordeal, Yasmine and her friends were made to sit outside in the heat for three hours. Later that day, they passed out and became severely ill after that prolonged heat exposure. Disney wanted approximately $500 for Yasmine to enter for two days. This was supposed to be a celebration of their graduation. These are the memories we were left with instead. I escalated our complaint. On October 5, Rick from Executive Correspondence called. When I asked about the different documentation requirement, he said Disney had the right to ask. He told me the website required one of three Florida IDs. I read him the provision allowing alternative proof of residency. He said he was looking at the website and did not see what I was seeing. He repeatedly disagreed that we had been discriminated against and refused compensation or a refund. I still did not receive a specific explanation of why Yasmine's documents were insufficient under the published alternatives. We canceled. You do not have to be a Florida resident to care about how a company handles a family's problem. Consider how you would feel arriving at another park and finding that an earlier dispute now prevented entry, then discovering that even an executive escalation could not get you a clear explanation. Our experience left me feeling that Disney was more concerned with keeping our money than meaningfully addressing what happened. After years of loyalty, I no longer trust it with our family's celebrations or vacation budget.

Toy Story Land at Hollywood Studios nails the concept it is built around. I walked into an area…read moredesigned to make me feel like I had been shrunk down to toy size and dropped into Andy's backyard, and the execution of that idea was thorough. Giant game pieces, oversized footprints, building blocks used as architecture, and Christmas lights strung overhead as decoration all reinforced the scale in a way that rewarded me for actually looking around rather than just moving from ride to ride. Slinky Dog Dash is the anchor attraction and delivered as a family coaster that works for a wide range of ages. It is smooth, fast enough to feel exciting, and the Toy Story theming throughout the track layout is well integrated. Wait times regularly stretch past an hour, so prioritizing it early in the day or using Lightning Lane is the practical move. Toy Story Mania is an interactive 4D shooting game that holds up across multiple rides and was genuinely competitive and fun for my group. Alien Swirling Saucers is the gentler option that skews younger, but it is an easy yes for anyone who does not mind spinning. Woody's Lunch Box is worth building a meal or snack stop around. The totchos and grilled cheese are the items that keep coming up for good reason, and the Lunch Box Tarts are worth grabbing for dessert if I want something to eat while I keep moving through the land. The one consistent practical note is that the area has very little shade and gets genuinely hot during the middle of the day. Coming in during the early morning or staying into the evening is the right call. At night the land takes on a different quality with the lighting, and it is worth lingering in if my park day extends into the evening hours.

Don't get me wrong, I'm a huge Disney parks lover, buuuut... I have to be honest…read more What I don't love about this park is the lack of space. Everything feels very "crammed" together--tight, crowded, and packed in. Add the long lines and the lack of shade in this particular park, and at times it can feel almost unbearable. That being said, it's still Disney, and there's really nothing that can compete with that. Personally, I highly recommend Tower of Terror, one of my favorite rides, and the newly revamped Rock 'n' Roller Coaster, now themed to the Muppets. And for Star Wars fans, the Star Wars area is simply incomparable. You really feel like you've been dropped right into the movies. Toy Story Land is a must with little ones, although I still feel like something is missing there. Maybe it's just me... We'll see what happens when the long-awaited Monsters, Inc. area finally opens. As always, my recommendation is to bring your own snacks and something to eat, because food inside the parks is ridiculously expensive. And definitely bring a refillable water bottle! There are several water stations throughout the park with bottle-filling taps, so you can easily refill it instead of buying.

It's a limited capacity room, so you may have to wait in line outside for people to exit before entering. There are lines inside also for both food and drinks.

I never imagined that…read morerequest at Animal Kingdom would escalate into frozen admission passes, questions about fraud, and three hours outside in the Florida heat for my daughter and her friends. We had been Disney annual passholders for over five years and had spent hundreds of thousands of dollars with Disney. This trip was a graduation present for Yasmine and her three friends: a week at Myrtle Beach followed by a week at Disney. There were eight of us altogether. The dispute began when we tried to use our paid Lightning Lane access and the ride was unavailable. I asked for another pass. During the interaction with an employee named Tyler, whom I found confrontational, the focus shifted to our Florida residency after I mentioned that we had flown in. We had flown from Myrtle Beach. It was the first half of their graduation present, and we have one-way plane tickets documenting that journey. Flying into Florida does not establish that someone is not a resident. By then, our group had already spent two days at the theme parks and two days at the water parks. On the fifth day, our passes were frozen. During this dispute, Yasmine and her friends were made to sit outside in the heat for THREE HOURS. Later that day, they passed out and became severely ill after that prolonged heat exposure. Instead of enjoying the graduation celebration I had planned, I was watching these young people suffer. That is the memory Animal Kingdom left our family with. Other members of our group were subsequently cleared after providing documentation. Yasmine remained blocked. The demands for proof extended to asking her to log into her school portal. Disney wanted approximately $500 for her to enter for two days. I understand verifying residency. My question was why my daughter had to produce a Florida-issued ID when the other seven people did not, and why the alternative proof listed on Disney's website was insufficient in her case. The executive follow-up made the experience worse. On October 5, Rick from Executive Correspondence told me Disney had the right to ask. He stated that the website required a Florida driver's license, Florida state ID, or Florida-based military ID. When I read him the provision allowing alternative residency documentation, he said he was looking at the website and did not see what I was seeing. He repeatedly disagreed that we had been discriminated against. He refused compensation and a refund. I still did not receive a specific explanation addressing the discrepancy. We canceled. More than five years of loyalty ended with me feeling that Disney was determined to keep our money but unwilling to meaningfully address what happened. Before you commit your family's vacation budget to this park, consider that the experience you are buying includes how you are treated when something goes wrong. In our case, a request about paid access to a closed ride became an exhausting ordeal, and escalating it brought no meaningful resolution. I chose Disney to celebrate my daughter's graduation. I cannot replace that milestone or erase what happened to her and her friends. I deeply regret trusting Animal Kingdom with that celebration.
