 Hey friends today, we are hanging out at Disney's Animal Kingdom There are tons of new food items and experiences all around the park And I figured I'd come out and show you some of them So we're gonna ride some rides eat some food and have a wild Animal kingdom kind of day Anyhoo, let's go do this. I I can definitely say it is a good day to have a wild time in Animal Kingdom The temperatures in the 80s and it is beautiful out That was cool to see the big Disney 100 sign in front of the Animal Kingdom entrance And this is also the first time I've been back in the park since they celebrated the 25th anniversary So there's tons of things that we get to check out today And then also some of the new food for Asian American Pacific Islander month and I'm excited I'm excited to eat some food and just hang out. I love this park One of the most popular things in Animal Kingdom right now are the Pumbaa Popcorn buckets and the Timon Sippers And they actually have lots of them. So I think I'm actually gonna get them I mean, I'm really excited because they're really cool-looking And it's nice to see something other than Simba because usually they do a lot of Simba popcorn buckets You know what I mean? And $40 later, I am a proud owner of a Timon Sipper and a Pumbaa Popcorn bucket Look at that. I'm double doing it and it's $40 and you also get like a bottle of water and a box of popcorn on the side and Yeah I love them Well, I can see what's happening What and they don't have a clue who they'll fall in love And here's the bottom line Freos down the two. Oh We're gonna keep moving along But I wanted to point out that I'm happy that I'm wearing my Macaw Roosevelt shirt today Because the Macaw show is about to happen and I'm sure we'll see tons of them flying around and also I might be regretting my decision even though I love these popcorn buckets and the zipper But my neck is not gonna like this in probably 20 minutes Because it's already scratching up the back especially when you're double doing it Figured I'd stop and look at the wait times for today and so far it doesn't look that bad flight of passage is 80 minutes Navi River 65 Kilimanjaro Safari is only a five minute wait. Look at that expedition ever 15 minutes 20 minutes for Cali River Rapids I think we're gonna have a fun day and ride lots of rides Those wait times look amazing and honestly I kind of feel compelled to run over to Kilimanjaro Safari's because it's only a five minute wait But one of the places that has a whole bunch of new food items is the Nomad Lounge And that is usually hard to get into but my friends happen to be there And I am going to go join up with them and then maybe afterwards we'll ride Kilimanjaro Safari's But I do want to try some of the new food in there why I can Here is the Nomad Lounge and it's actually located right next to Tiffins and just some of their Drinks that they have on the menu. I'm sure we're gonna be looking at the things that are brand new But they've got really cool things like the tempting Tigris Jen's tattoo Some Poketuna and a lot of other good stuff They also have the Tiffin bread service here that you can get which is really really good Usually I always like dining outside, but you have to take what you can get because it's you it's it's hard to get in here It's a long wait to join the walk-up list So we're gonna be dining inside, but it's still just as pretty in here and I'll show you around a little bit This is the indoor dining area and they have a bar that you can sit at or they also have little comfy chairs over here But the one thing I want to point out That's really cool are these little tags here that you can purchase and leave a little note They'll hang it up They have them hanging here and then they also have them hanging above the bar there. I think that's just real fancy I ran into my friends Allie and Dom and they already have some food here And I'm already jealous because look at this in espresso martini and there's an elephant on the top there It's kind of like it's I think that's chocolate powder maybe but that is so cool and then also the churros Look at those Yeah Yeah, this strawberry people have been begging for it to come back. I'm so happy that it's back now I Just found out that the churro sauce isn't the same strawberry sauce It they used to have like a spicy strawberry, but this is strawberry lava and it's a new sauce and now we got to try it Here is some of the new food for the Asian American Pacific Islander heritage month They've got Bangkok crispy chicken wings and that looks like it's got caramel sauce on it And then also a coconut mango cocktail So I think I'm gonna actually try them both a little Bangkok chicken wings and coconut cocktail That's a tongue twister My friend Allie runs a tiktok page called Allie Wood Studios and She covers a lot of gluten-free stuff here at Disney and the churros are actually gluten-free In fact, she said most of the menu here is gluten-free So just wanted to point that out for anyone that is looking for some gluten-free help check out her page Allie Wood Studios Here are the wings they look so good nice and saucy there and Also, here is the cocktail. They said it's an edible flower. So this is the coconut mango cocktail Parrot Bay they got some Stoly in there mango puree coconut milk. I don't know I'm not I'm not the biggest fan of Stoly vanilla vodka, but maybe it'll actually mix good with the coconut and then like I said these ones actually have Caramel peanuts and cilantro on it. So you gotta watch out for the peanuts, but they do look good I'm definitely gonna try to eat that edible flower. I usually whenever they have edible flowers They really don't taste like anything, but I kind of like eating flowers. So here we go Can't say I'm a fan. I like it It's got a real it's got a it's got a it's got a texture. I can tell you that got a texture It's it's it's very shocking because it tastes like thick It looks watery, but it tastes thick and you can really taste like the coconut in there Mixed with the vanilla and the mango. Maybe it's just a combination of things, you know, these drinks are better though How's the espresso martini? Yeah, see I should have gotten it I might actually order one now, I think I'm gonna order one Yeah Now it's time to dive into these delicious looking wings though and honestly I have high expectations I really love the food here at Nomad Lounge and they really don't disappoint. So here we go Oh, yeah That's good Update we got another espresso martini and that is a turtle look at that look it Wow Honestly, I am a fan now. I am so much a fan of Nomads. Yep Well Nomad Lounge was awesome the wings were so crispy and the sauce was delicious I didn't like the drink so much But I did end up getting one of those espresso martinis and it was cool because I got a zebra on it But it got mixed up a little bit. So I didn't want to show you guys It like didn't it didn't stay together as it was but the turtle and the elephant were remarkable I wonder how many other animals they actually have and now it's time to move along and maybe go ride expedition Everest Looks like Kevin down about in front of the tree of life She really is exploring the wilderness Look at her go I Think Kevin's gonna actually show us the way to expedition Everest this way It's time to head on in for expedition Everest the wait time is only 15 minutes But I'm not even too sure what I do with my Tumon and Pumbaa I don't even know what do I do with them because they're not gonna fit in there the pouch or anything So I guess I'm gonna lay them on the ground I Think it's so funny because when I'm walking around I don't realize I got like this big Pumbaa hanging out So like I bump into people It's kind of like he's ramming in like in the movie We're gonna have to put them down here I think Tumon a fan here. Let me see To moan looks like a little kangaroo in a kangaroo pouch Oh Dream I wonder if we're gonna get the bird. I don't see them. Oh wow. They really got us hanging up here for a second There we go, oh, I guess you made it back with us. I'm on it boom. They got me on that last stop there. I Don't know why they stopped like that I Made it back down. I Love riding expedition ever said I almost lost my wallet on there But to moan was securely tucked away in his kangaroo pouch and Pumbaa was just on the ground But I can't believe they just stayed there like I thought they'd fly out But they have like metal cages on the side and now we're gonna move along I think we're gonna go do flight of passage Maybe make our way over to the Valley of Mora down in Pandora and just kind of enjoy animal kingdom a little bit longer I Love when we were actually walking over to Pandora and transitioning from like the wilderness to Like the Valley of Mora and you can hear the sounds change. It's really cool, too I wouldn't mind pumping this in at my house But the insect sounds Listen to that That's something to fall asleep to right there or I could just move back to the country. I Really wish they would add some more new food to Pandora other than the new stuff They added for the movie like they don't do like specials that are included because I feel like it's separate from Everything else in the park because it's like a different like land and they want to keep to the theming But I'm sure they could come up with some new food every now and again You know what I mean not just for the new movie release The most recent food that they actually added to Sautuni canteen was this ocean moon bowl right here It's very colorful. It's blue noodles tuna watermelon radish and then also this moose down here But that's like been the most of it. I mean, I love all of the food here though Like so it's it's hard for me not to come here and get like the sliced grilled beef or the chopped Ward grilled chicken and I'm not the biggest fan of tuna But that just looks amazing like I feel like I should try it look at that They got rainbow carrots and avocado and cucumbers. Maybe we'll come back and do that one day. I Love that Simone and Puba are riding all these rides with us They get the right expedition ever so now we're going on flight of passage and they're gonna go in the stowaway area there So they're gonna be able to watch it. I Know that they really just can't actually see but they're not real But it's kind of fun. It adds to like a little storyline the adventures of Timon and Pumba at Animal Kingdom Oh even you Even you Yes, he would Pumba's gonna eat all the bugs Right I gotta wear shades on your flight by flight of passage shades I Honestly, it's pretty crazy the fact that flight of passage was only a 30 minute wait today It's definitely worth it to come to Animal Kingdom before like a little bit before the park closes Because a lot of people tend to park up and they go to like Magic Kingdom or Epcot where they have a nighttime show and Since the park was at seven a lot of people are gone by then and that's just your testimony right there 30 minute wait for flight of passage that is crazy, and I loved it. It's such a great ride It was really cool how I got to set the camera up like that So I hope you enjoyed it and now I don't know maybe we're gonna keep walking around. We only have like 30 minutes left I forgot that Animal Kingdom closed so early I mean I like coming later in the day because it's like you know a little bit cooler and you get on more rides But I'm sad. I miss Animal Kingdom at night. I want to see the bioluminescence We're gonna stop in Island Mercantile and see if they've got any new merchandise Animal Kingdom is always coming up with something new. A lot for Pandora Especially as soon as you walk in The other day I saw this Lion King Spiratures and I thought it was cool And then I found a whole bunch of like retro Lion King stuff Look at the the hat the hoodie right here the shirt this all reminds me of like that time That's really cool like that era of Lion King. This is nice, and they even have some Christmas ornaments It's good to see some more Lion King merchandise They also have a lot of the 25th anniversary still left over I know these bags these bags these bags These bags look at these bags these bags were very popular and look at that Oh, and even this one here more adventure is out there. Look at that I think that's Kevin on there. That's a nice spirit Jersey. That's actually really really cool I like that a lot. I wish I could buy the sign. They sold me this sign. I'd put this home I I display it properly even that island Mickey thing up there. Let me have the props. That's what I want Now that we've gotten some shopping done. I think it's time. We actually start making our way out of Animal Kingdom I don't want to go but the park's closing and I think we're gonna park hop maybe hop to another park Maybe Hollywood Studios. Maybe Epcot. I'm hanging out with some friends. So we can't stay here So we got to go somewhere else might as well keep it going and bring you guys along with us I don't think I'm gonna keep Timon and Pumba though with me I think I'm gonna keep them in the car, but it was fun hanging out and my neck is killing me man Whoo, I just took it off. I bet you I got a bunch of scratches back there These things they really scratch the back of your neck and I tried putting it like underneath my Like collared on my shirt, but it keeps on riding up because they're so heavy. They're actually very heavy Let's say it's probably about five pounds. Maybe ten pounds. I don't know I Ran into some friends and I think Timon is actually gonna be going home with Mike Look at that He was actually on his way out and I decided to give him my to moan because they stopped selling them, right? There's still plenty of them in there. They just stopped serving, but it's cool to see to moan actually Going on another adventure, but it was nice seeing you guys Yeah, another journey there we go. Well, thanks guys. Have a great one It's nice that to moan is going home with Mike Wheeler He wanted to get one but they stopped selling them So, you know, I was like you can have mine and now it's just me and Pumba and oh in fact now our trios down to two We've went from animal kingdom to Hollywood Studios at the perfect time look at this It's like the golden hour a sunset is happening. The lights are turning on oh Anytime anyone says hey you want to go to Hollywood Studios before it gets dark. I'll always say yes I'll always say less What a treat Hollywood Studios is open till 10 p.m. Tonight 10 p.m. And the last showing of Fantasmic is at 1030 this is amazing Wow Usually they're closing up shop at 8 or 9 o'clock and they're actually doing after hours after that So after hours event tonight and the park closes at like 10 o'clock. That's that's incredible We're not staying for the after hours event But I might be persuaded into sticking around for Fantasmic a little late-night Fantasmic action sounds pretty appealing to me. I Just had a magical moment happen for me I was on my way to baseline and I was walking through the pathway where they have a little stand that sells bananas it's a banana stand and They were like hey do you want some bananas and I was like yeah want some bananas I think they were closing down so they ended up giving me two bananas and let me tell you something This is a really big deal because these bananas are two dollars and fifty cents a piece Like that's how much I would have paid for them if they don't just give it to me So you always know there's money in the banana stand Now I have made it over the baseline. I've got my bananas and also I just wanted to say hi to mr. Swanson in Connecticut. Thanks for watching the videos Hello Are you there hello Nothing like hanging out at baseline eating a banana listening to music drinking some water The bananas Hello bananas Baseline is definitely one of my favorite places to just hang out and drink at Hollywood studios Now I do like going into the tune-in lounge because that's a good spot, but look at this atmosphere in here Isn't it so cool? It's always beer o'clock here It's like I got a whole new wind and I'm ready to go and ride some more rides In fact, I think we're gonna make our way over to Slinky Dog Dash and maybe do a nighttime ride Little nighttime ride on Slinky and then phantasmic. This is the combo we needed Looks like Slinky Dog Dash is a 40 minute wait though. Look at that doesn't look like a 40 minute wait Wow, what a night what a day we've had so far Once we got up to Slinky Dog Dash We realized the line definitely looks a little bit longer than what it says because it said a 30 minute wait So I think we're gonna actually go to Toy Story Mania So that way we can make it in time for 1030 a phantasmic because that's the overall. That's that's the endgame. That's the plan Time to Take a visit with the good old prospector here The prospector where's mr. Where's potato head? Look at that I What is going on? I mean is he still back there you think? You can kind of see it maybe I can hear it We have to make sure our glasses are you know good to go got to test them out beforehand You don't want to lose. We're going all out now. It's me and Dom first Ali and Kristen and They're going down. I mean, I don't even know Oh, it's going down They don't even know They don't even know I love coming to this side. Look it. We're in Andy's room We're just walked in the doorway Big old plug there This is my favorite one mouse trap a Game of zany action on a crazy fill in the blank Contraption yeah We're taking this very seriously, so I'm not going to be able to film much because I'm going to focus on playing But I'll let you know what the scores are afterwards. Don't worry. We're keeping track My eyes That's to be a close one 37 that's hard to do when you have two competitive people. Oh, we didn't get to see what they got Best in the equal I didn't get best this hour. Who was in this who was riding this earlier best this hour 659 We both got the deer though What a competitive run on Toy Story Midway mania I ended up pulling the W But it was really close with Dom He's really good at it and when you have two people with the equal skill set it takes away So we could have gotten a lot better high scores, but we totally rocked it the guys one and yeah No, it's a phantasmic It looks like everybody's grabbing ice cream before phantasmic hand scooped ice cream brownie sundaes Ice cream sundaes a cup or a cone This is the spot Hollywood scoops What'd you guys get I got Vanilla punch sundae with extra whipped cream extra whipped cream. What'd you get I got a sundae with mint chocolate chip and cookies and cream Oh, and look at the line of people getting into phantasmic right now Yeah, we don't have to get in that line. It's not gonna sell out We're going to stroll in Half past even though that is a gigantic line. There's plenty of space and there's no need to rush This is why we get in Russian plenty of space plenty of space We waited to the last second and ended up getting the best seat in the house look at that We're gonna be able to get a good look at Moana and Mickey They're all gonna be right there. It's gonna be so awesome. I Think the show is starting And Tom is getting a pretzel Man fun Some and dare I say an awesome way to end the night and Yeah, fun day at Animal Kingdom got to go ride some rides try some of the new food hop to Hollywood Studios did Phantasmic, I wish we could have done slinky dog dash, but the timing just wanted to work.
