 Hey friends tonight. We are hanging out at Disney's Animal Kingdom I'm looking at trying a couple new snacks around the park including a grape soda flavored cupcake That sounds so interesting But also I wanted to ride some rides and also check up on some attractions that are actually being torn down at the moment Anywho's let's go do this Take a look at this. We were just in time for wing it encounters. I think it's gonna happen any second now How magical would it be to see a sky filled with macaques. Oh boy. Oh Wing it encounters is only about a two-minute presentation in front of the Tree of Life But I love it because if you didn't know what was happening You're just walking right by there Dozens of macaques actually just flying right next to your head and it's such a unique experience. I Think we're gonna head right on into dino land USA Like I said earlier, I wanted to check out an attraction that is sadly actually getting torn down at the moment back here It's sad to see any Disney attraction getting teared down, but this one kind of really wasn't my favorite attraction It's not that it wasn't a bad ride It's just something I personally didn't like riding and it looks like they've got a whole bunch of construction around it ready to tear it down And here it is the primeval world now This has been a long speculation that it was going away, but Disney recently filed a permit for construction put up the walls and This really extinct isn't it funny that sign actually says that this really extinct and like I said wasn't my favorite ride But I don't know. I'm not too sure what's gonna happen Are they gonna tear it down or is it really just gonna become extinct? I don't know Maybe they might just replace it with another good ride Let me know what you guys think about primeval world in the comments I figure dino land still has two attractions in it It still has dinosaur and it has the triceratops spin So I mean two attractions in one land is possible. I mean look at Star Wars Galaxy's Edge only has two attractions, but one of them is rise of the resistance. So that's kind of a big deal and Since we're over here before we go get ourselves some cupcakes and snacks Maybe I'll take a spin on triceratops spin. I mean this ride actually is really fun It's more like Aladdin's magic carpets than Dumbo. I only wrote it for the first time not too long ago, and I loved it Also because this ride is completely outside We don't need to wear a mask while riding it and I wonder if that's the same thing for Kilimanjaro safari We're gonna have to find out because that's really interesting No water in the triceratops spin now looks like it's all dried up and we are lucky number three Dino number three now if you go in the front it raises it up And then I think the back actually tilts it like this way so each way is actually a different function I don't know if I pointed that out. That's the same way with Aladdin's magic carpets But of course I'm gonna sit up front because I want to go all the way up. I want to go all the way up That really started off very very fast That's the way Look at oh wow the views up here are really really nice. I love it a little meteors, too And you can actually just sit back and take this one to actually tilt you a little bit That is so awesome All right, let's bring her down bring her down now I Know it's a kid ride, but this is really really fun. I really do like these kind of rides I love Dumbo and I love the magic carpets. It's it's fun and I like the music, too We're coming down. Oh, we're going up. Nope. Nope. Oh boy That was a lot of fun and now I think it's time we go get ourselves the cupcake that I've been looking forward to a great Soda cupcake now It's actually a great soda flavored cupcake custard in the center and it's from the movie up I mean if you seen the great soda pin and I'm excited like I said it I like to try things that are unique and kind of strange. I'm not the biggest fan of cupcakes But this one definitely has something special about it We're gonna have to head back out to Discovery Island because I think it's that flametree barbecue I'm not too sure it's either there or maybe they're at multiple spots. It's a part of a bad series of cupcakes All right, I found my seat and I got my cupcake and now it's time to dive into this and it is very pretty It's a very pretty purple cupcake It says it's a vanilla cupcake with grape soda flavored custard filling grape soda flavored frosting an edible chocolate Grape soda badge medallion which is right there and Yeah, I think we're gonna have to cut it open first because I want to see what it looks like on the inside But I have to get the paper off This is gonna be a struggle. It always is a struggle with these. Oh, oh, I bet you that icing is really messy I noticed they gave me a net a wet nap with it All right, here we go tear. Oh wow. Look at it. So pretty in there. Look at that. Oh, this is really cool I might like this one a lot. Oh, oh, we're gonna lose it. I'm trying to be so graceful, but it's not happening. Oh Success look at that. All right. Now we're gonna cut right down the middle here No, oh There's like Papa. Oh, no, I lost my medallion. I Just butchered half of that cupcake. I lost my grape soda medallion Oh, well, gonna have to move that to the side there and now I've got icing all over my hands I'm glad they gave me that little wet nap But look at that. I was not expecting all of this inside of this cupcake So now that we saved one side of it, there we go, that's the side we're gonna be in off of It's like cupcake down. Okay, here we go Wow, yeah, this pop rocks Pop rocks inside of a cupcake that is really awesome And I could taste grape soda. It literally tastes like grape soda. Wow. I mean, this is super super sweet And the cake isn't that great But the cupcake is fun to eat like this is really fun to eat because you get that grape soda flavor the pop rocks popping like crazy I like this. I really really like this. Holy moly Seriously, the best part about this cupcake though is the Grape soda custard in the center here. That's the stuff right here and the pop rocks I can go without the icing. I mean icing is okay, but I I'm not a big fan of it. Oh boy Messy cupcake though The thing with cupcakes is usually there's just big glob of icing on the top and you always end up with more Icing than you do cupcake, but this is a funny little experience and kids probably love it Especially the fact that you can actually add little pop rocks in there pop rocks pop rocks inside the cupcake It is fun Sadly, we're gonna have to say goodbye to the second half of the cupcake Now it's time to move along there are three different other cupcakes for the badges They have the flamingo one here and a couple of other ones I think one a restaurant of source But I don't think I can actually make a full day of eating like four cupcakes. That'd be a lot You know what I mean? I couldn't even eat all of that one half of it landed on the table And I was like, well, I wasn't missing out a much because like I said There's so much icing on top that you just get full up real quick And plus I do want to get something to eat a little bit later on like an actual meal meal Like I said, I'm interested in getting some dinner later Maybe at Sahtuli canteen or at the yak and yeti quick service. Oh, hi friends. How are you? Like I said, I want to get something to eat But I do want to wait a little bit because I want to ride some rides and plus I just ate half of that cupcake I do love me some Sahtuli canteen. I love some grilled chicken and red potato hash I mean, oh man, that sounds so good right now But I get it all the time and I've never really tried the yak and yeti quick service And I don't know. It's like try something new or stick with something that is just really really good We're gonna have to think about it until then. I think we should go ride expedition Everest There she is Expedition Everest and take a look down here. It looks like they're putting things together for the kite show That's actually gonna start here at Animal Kingdom on new nighttime show that's starting on the 50th anniversary And I'm excited. I mean, I would come here and check that out But harmonious and then the new fireworks show at Magic Kingdom I feel like this one is falling to the wayside not too many people are gonna be here at night But you could do this and technically go do Epcot and see harmonious in the same day Huh, that sounds like a challenge actually Now I'm just assuming if the show starts at 7 o'clock or 8 o'clock You definitely would have time enough to get from here to Epcot to see harmonious like debut. I mean Definitely seems like a rest though. I'd rather Stick out a good spot for her money is We'll take a peak see at the wait time. They do have a single rider line So we can always hop in that if we wanted to it says 15 minutes for a standby I think we'll do standby because I'd like to request a front row or a back row if you do single rider There's no request like you just go wherever they need the single rider. So 15 minutes definitely worth the wait This ride is considered indoors so you gotta wear a mask actually on it and I think we're going back row Definitely don't want to lose this bad boy, but I can never fit it in the bags So I always feel bad. So I'm just gonna have to hold on to it or like let my knee hold on to it Or I can just leave it on and then when we get to the drop, I put my head on my hand my hand on my head I Should ever says always one of my favorite rides and it's set to actually go down for I think three months in January So is it possibly like is it possible that we could be getting the Yeti back? I mean that would be really really amazing if you guys don't know the Yeti actually used to be able to move and swing at You now it's actually stationary and it's basically like a strobe like effect or what they call disco yeti But I don't know if three months is enough time. Let me know in the comments where you guys think I feel like they would need more than three months to actually fix the Yeti Another thing they recently announced including the closure of Expedition Everest for three months is the Finding Nemo show is Actually gonna be rethemed and they're gonna have a new show and I like that But I hope that most of the performers are there that one was a really cool show because I'd love seeing all the gigantic puppets I think those that was like one of the coolest appeal to it You know what I mean? So hopefully it is heavily relied on Performers and I hear rumors that there might be some screens and stuff at it and I'm hoping that's not the case But we'll see, you know, we always just wait and see Earlier I was talking about getting something to eat at either Soutouli Quentin or the quick service at Yak and Yeti the local food Cafe, but I think we're gonna have to check out the Yak and Yeti's menu first before I decide on like I know what I'm gonna get At Soutouli Quentin, but let's just see what they have. Maybe maybe there's gonna be something that pops out and catches my eye Looks like they've got some honey sesame chicken sweet and sour tempura shrimp. Oh, you know what? I have eaten here before I've had the Korean fried chicken sandwich and it was okay, but it was nothing amazing. It was no Soutouli Quentin So I think I'm just gonna go with what I like and maybe get myself some Soutouli Quentin One day I'll come back and try something different from here Maybe if I do it would be the tempura shrimp or the American Kobe cheeseburger, but I love Soutouli Quentin I Really like that idea because then we can also see what the wait time for Flight of Passages and Navi River journey and Just kind of enjoy Pandora, but before we do that I did want to stop and do Kilimanjaro safaris only because it's a five minute wait I mean, it's not only because of that, but you can't walk by the safari if it's a five minute wait and not go on it Look at that. Like I said, you can't pass up a five minute wait for Kilimanjaro safaris And you don't even have to wear your mask. It's optional So since this is a fully outdoor ride and you're just kind of walking through the huts here You don't have to wait with your mask on It looks like nobody is waiting to ride. They just have Everything just right look we got some people there. This is really awesome though Here she comes Simba one Look at how empty our safari is But it needs to remain fully Now we can tell that you copy in the giraffe are really now bongo both male and female So it's a little harder to tell the difference with black rhino. Look at the black rhinos There's one right there. I'm gonna come up a little further and then holy moly inside along the wall back there Now black rhinos are more solitary and a little more active at night time So which means they cannot generate their own body heat or maintain their own body temperature like humans can't So in order for them to warm up they'll lay out in the sun and in order for them to cool down They'll head into the water or open those gigantic mouths of theirs and release Now if you take a look to your left hand side, it might be a little hard to see over the bush But please do still stay seated in front of the den. There is a spotted hyena walking around Now spotted hyenas aren't pretty cool. Their hierarchy isn't quite based like other animals are they have a female-based hierarchy So she's gonna cross the road real quick. So we're gonna let her cross the road Now patterns and zeolans are the largest antelope species The male can stand up to six feet tall at the shoulder Giraffe hanging out over here now a tower is what a group of giraffe together is called now these specific ones are Masai giraffe Masai giraffe never seen this many giraffes that they have one two three four five six seven eight nine ten 12 giraffes now giraffes are the tallest land mammals They can get up to 20 feet tall when they're full grown the tallest one on the reserve is around 19 feet tall There are also some white rhinos walking around over here that white rhinos get their name from the african term Vite, which means wide doesn't mean white. It's just to the right of the white rhinos on the right hand side There's some water bucks back there. There's also some ostriches on at the right Largest flight list birds, but they still have wings So instead of using that to fly they use them to help them steer when they're going 35 miles an hour Now those that was such a great safari so many of the animals were on about I loved it in that one time Well that one part with a white rhino like was like right next to me I was speechless. I don't even know what to say I kind of was just recording it and then it just crossed behind us So it was like five o'clock and if that's the time they feed them I highly suggest coming at feeding time because everybody was out eating and it was so much great It was it was an amazing safari When we got off I noticed that look at this we found a poachers vehicle look at all the tusk in the back there I didn't even know they still had this here a long time ago It was actually a ride that was actually Warning people about poachers and everything like that and they ended up taking it away, but look at right there Whole bunch of tusk right in the back of the vehicle Now it's time for dinner now. It's dinner time and I am pumped. I'm definitely get myself the bread potato hash I don't know if I'm gonna get half roast beef and half grilled chicken But man, oh man, I love stuff so we can't team and maybe a little dessert too And here we are and I am excited We're gonna create our own bowl and I think I can get the combination Roasted sliced grilled beef and chicken We'll do that because I got a little chicken and a little beef but you could get shrimp or crispy fried tofu and then you pick your base between rice and black beans red and sweet potato hash which I love noodles or salad and then you pick your sauce between green onion vinaigrette black bean vinaigrette or creamy herb dressing and I think I'm gonna try the onion vinaigrette But on the side definitely on the side for that one and then maybe a dessert. We'll see I'm not too Fancy about the blueberry cream cheese mouse mouse moose Huh, I might want to get the chocolate cake because I know that's banana filling on the top and I love a little banana I Placed my order and now it's ready and it looks so so good And I actually got something a little extra that I didn't know I could do and now I'm excited Here is the combination roast beef and grilled chicken with the red potato hash And I got the onion vinaigrette on the side But also I noticed that I could order the noodles as a side and it was four dollars I don't give you many noodles though for four dollars But I really wanted to try them in case I ever wanted to try the noodles as my base instead of the red potato Hash, so I decided on getting those and then also This little fancy drink. I was super thirsty and it's a pandorian sunrise. It's non-alcoholic And I don't know I mean it just looks really good I know it has melon power right in it and it comes with a little pineapple on there, so we got a nice little feast here First things first. I'm gonna try the noodles. Look at that just in case I Do like them. I'll know in the future to actually get them as my base, but I wonder if there's as good as Ohana I don't know. I don't know how to really oh, I gotta throw them around a little bit more. There we go That's still a pretty big bite. I'm gonna try to knock some off there. Oh, okay Here we go Definitely not as good as Ohana noodles. I mean they're pretty decent But I think I'll stick to my red potato hash because that is just too good. Look at that It's got red potatoes and sweet potatoes on there, and I love it Now I want to try the pandorian sunrise Oh That is really refreshing I like that a lot. Oh wow very good, but it's not refillable That's only sad part so I could drink this like in probably two sips not like a big cup either And he was five dollars, but seriously very refreshing But now it's time for the main event a little bit of chicken a little bit of roast beef. Oh Nope. Yep. There we go and a little bit of potatoes got to get it all in one bite The perfect combination because it's a natural combination get it Honestly though, I think I said that the last time I got this the thing that stands out the most to me is The red potato hash like this is so so good I wouldn't literally just eat the potatoes and not get anything else. It is that good But I had a little grilled chicken a roast beef to it makes it a little bit better I'm gonna stick with saying that this is my favorite way to build a bowl here I think next time I'm gonna see if I can get a side of rice and beans and see what it's like But until then just the way I like it this way also I wouldn't mind trying the shrimp either looks pretty good the shrimp and noodle combination might be a much better Combination in the noodles. I'm not too sure if it's because I didn't put any sauce on them But oh, hona noodles don't have any sauce either. Those just seem super dry and not much of a taste of them at all It's not like I didn't like them. It's just nothing that was just like bang You know what I mean? Nothing that did not have that oh, hona effect or any other noodles or like the noodles that Tepanito to die for I'm not a big fan of the boba balls though I don't know why I just don't think they belong inside this dish And so I kind of pushed them to the side over there. Do you see them? You know, let me know what you guys think but boba balls can stay out of my food That hit the spot I decided I'm not getting dessert because I got those noodles So I figured that was just that was kind of like my dessert But my appetizer at the same time and now maybe we'll go explore and see what the wait times are here in Pandora I'd like to see what flight of passage is I hear rumors that it's been like 10 minutes but I mean we'll have to look when we get there and Maybe we can ride one. I don't know. We'll see how it goes. Oh, well, it says 25 minutes That's not too bad, but I think we'll check to see what Navi River is like Sometimes Navi River could be longer than flight of passage. So I'm hoping that's not the case today still though 25 minutes for flight of passage is a really good wait time and Navi River looks like it's 15 minutes, maybe I can't read we get to see when we get up there 15 minutes for Navi River. That's not too shabby. So I think we're actually gonna go ride that instead Actually on second thought I think we are gonna avoid that idea. It started raining I can feel the raindrops happening. The sky is getting a little dark and we've been here for a pretty good time today We've been here a while So I think I'm just gonna call it a day and try to get to the car without getting a downpour on So I hope you enjoyed the video. I enjoyed making it and We'll see you next time Bye. I definitely made the right decision because it is about to be a downpour on Animal Kingdom I feel good about that. I finally was able to beat the rain
