 Hey friends today. I am hanging out at Disney's Animal Kingdom I decided to come out and see if there's any new fancy food items I can try and also ride some rides I love Animal Kingdom It's one of my favorite parks and they have a really good selection of rides that always get me pumped up for the day So let's go do this And take a look at this. We got goofy and Chippendale And that's not a bad way to start off the day to see goofy and Chippendale floating down the river. That's so fun I think I'm gonna start off my day by heading into Dino Land USA They have a bunch of different seasonal items that change up quite often in there all the time So it's a good place to see if there's any new snacks Now that it's officially June They have a whole bunch of different items like pride month items and even Father's Day items So I'm sure we'll find something fancy. I Also low-key might want to ride Triceratops spin. I probably haven't ridden that ride in a year and a half So I think it's time. I do know that over here. They actually have seasonal ice cream sandwiches So I think I'll wait to actually check that out first. I Think it might be a smart move to actually ride the ride first because then if we eat something We don't have to go on something that's gonna spin us round and round and round. I Know Triceratops spin is a kitty ride But I like riding Dumbo and I like riding Aladdin's magic carpet kind of the same thing. Oh listen to that Strange though that primeval world hasn't opened back up yet. I mean it's just sitting here So I don't understand why they wouldn't have it running I mean if they're gonna tear it down tear it down But the only attraction that's open over here is Yeah, the Triceratops spin I Have to put my face covering on because you still need to do face covering on every attraction in indoor location And I wore my Pandora one I'm so excited. We actually got number two. So let's go get that dino. Ooh number two this way. Yes Thank you. I think we'll hop in the front. Yeah Oh, it's kind of just like Aladdin's magic carpet because the front row Raises it up higher or lower and then the back row has a lever that tilts it like backwards and tilts it forward Oh, why are we just sat in the back? Oh, we're going up All the way up I'm gonna switch it up. I'm gonna reach back here Well back up this way I'm going down Let's go back up we're going back up Triceratops Look at them they're going like this they're going crazy. Oh, it looks like we're coming in for a landing Whoa boy Okay, for real though that was a fun ride. I love the music they're like everyone's having fun at the dinosaur dance I know that the Restaurant a source has a father's day exclusive cupcake looks like it's a vanilla cupcake with chocolate chip cookie dough buttercream filling Caramel frosting and an edible image But I want to see what the ice cream sandwiches first Dino bites is right next to restaurant a source and that's something different where you actually get the ice cream sandwiches And you have to order at the window you can't mobile order like restaurant a source And they have an ice cream seasonal sandwich, but it's not that new I think it's been here for a little bit So I think I'm gonna go with the father's day cupcake. I gotta give it a try But here is the seasonal ice cream sandwich outside. I think it's been here for a couple weeks though strawberry shortcake It does look good though Also, it's getting a little bit hot out so I might sit in here and enjoy the AC for a bit This is a great place to just get out of the heat. It's very nice and refreshing. Plus we're having a cupcake Cupcake fancy me. Thank you. Good sir I'm not much of a cupcake eater. I feel like I have buyers regret I should have gotten the strawberry shortcake ice cream sandwich I probably would have enjoyed that a little bit more, but I was kind of intrigued by the chocolate chip cookie dough Filling on the inside. So I hope I made the right choice. We'll find out and here it is I think we're gonna cut this bad boy right in half. Gotta get a look on the inside. Oh Oh, wow, this actually might be pretty easy to cut usually. They're a little difficult, but this is going right down the middle Oh, there's the cookie dough It's not as like filling as I thought it would be funny not as filling And honestly, that might be a good thing because I think my biggest complaint with these cupcakes is they're always so sweet So maybe this is actually gonna be very good. I mean, I love cookie dough So we'll find out get a little bit of cake a little bit of cookie dough and a little bit of the frosting on one bite It's actually really really hard like the cookie dough is it's not so much of like a filling It's legit cookie dough like look at that That's actually cool I probably would have enjoyed the ice cream sandwich a little bit more, but you win some you lose some either way It's cupcakes. It's all cupcakes and ice cream sandwiches I wanted to make sure I don't have any green frosting on my face, but I think we're good So I think we're gonna move along and enjoy the park a little bit more. We are gonna get some more to eat I want to have din din like I want to have a dinner I'm not too sure where I want to go either satui canteen, which I haven't eaten there in a while or Some other location that I accidentally stumble upon and I'm like wow that sounds pretty good. I Think now we'll make our way over to Expedition Everest and take a little ride and come face-to-face with the Yeti And that actually brings up a very interesting question So when it comes to animal kingdom one of my must-dos is Expedition Everest like I need to come here And I need to ride Expedition Everest, but a lot of people really love Flight of Passage So like if you can only do one which one would you do Expedition Everest or Flight of Passage? I'm sorry. I love Flight of Passage, but I gotta go Expedition Everest I mean I love this ride. Let me know in the comments which one you prefer. Are you team Expedition Everest or team Flight of Passage? Here is a quick look at the wait times. I like how they added these signs. This is actually new right here They might have put this in maybe Two weeks ago, I believe and it actually gives you a breakdown. So Expedition Everest 15 minutes 25 minutes for Cali River Rapids dinosaurs 10 minutes, and then it's done by land So Asia, Dino Land, Discovery Island, where did Pandora go? Flight of Passage 50 minutes, I bet 50 minutes! Ha! I knew it It says 15 minutes, but it does look a little bit longer than that. I feel like this line moves very quick Yeah, usually this does move very fast. So I bet you it's probably 15 minutes pretty accurate Yeah, definitely about 15 minutes. Man, I'm gonna wait for row one. You gotta go row one It's coming in the station There we go. I always sit with my cell phone in my pocket on the inside Because I did lose my cell phone on this ride one time. So this one right here always on the inside Here we go We'd like to start off very quiet because it's peaceful, but this part it's scary Oh boy, hang on We have our hats still and our cell phone is in our pocket all good here That was awesome. And as soon as I got off I was like, oh I hear the music So I ran down here to see Mickey, Minnie and Pluto and look there they are making the rounds Hi friends Now I think I'm gonna make my way on over to Africa now I would ride Cali River rapids, but I really don't want to be soaking wet today. I feel actually really nice and dry I'm not too sweaty. Oh, I'm wearing my new spirit jersey the six to six one And this is actually designed as a cool spirit jersey like it's a lightweight one There's only two of them that they made so far. They made this one and then they also made the Lion King one I think they sell the Lion King one. I have it as well I'm gonna show you it like on the on the tag itself. It shows you and they're amazing So if you get a chance to get them, well worth it Since we're in the business of trying to find new things the tea stand here has a new seasonal beverage the tart and tangy an Exotic blend of refreshing iced tea with frozen lemon and mandarin syrup. I'm gonna give this a go You can also add vodka for 11.99. This might be pretty delicious a Little bit of tart and tangy. I can't wait to try this actually Whoo, like it tastes the tart. It's very tardy It's very tardy and tangy. I like it though. It's very refreshing cold It's not like I thought was gonna be like a half and half mixed drink But it's mostly all frozen because they add ice in there. So it's like adding ice to a slushie. I feel like that That's what makes it frozen Okay, now it's getting a lot better The trick is to mix it around a little bit and let that frozen lemon actually melt a little bit and then it's very delicious They serve this at all the Joffrey stand. So it's not just to animal kingdom, but it is new and I do like it But as I was walking over to Africa I have to say the backside of the tree of life is so much better than looking at it from the front You have no like crowds of people in your way and it's just got a beautiful landscape So if you ever want to take photos come back here, it's so much better Also, is anyone else very excited for Tusker House to open up? I can't wait to try it I know it's not gonna be family style, but I'm excited to see what they come up with This restaurant was always one of my favorite restaurants. I hope I can get an opening day reservation. I will be here And oh my lord, you know what else I just realized I have not been here since the festival the Lion King reopened I hope you go watch the show. I think we're going for it The next show times at five and it's 430. I think we're gonna hop in line here I have not done this since he's reopened. So I have to I feel like I love it though It's one of my favorite shows now. I feel upset. I didn't wear my Lion King spirit jersey I should have done it to celebrate the festival of the Lion King I hopped in line about 30 minutes before the next show time and I'm stopped right here There's only four people in front of me. I hope I'm able to make this show It would be so sad to be five shy away from not seeing you today because it is the last show Like this is the last showing of the day We made it in lucky us. I was so nervous. I was like, oh, no, we're not gonna make it. We're not gonna make it Looks like we got a pretty full show here. I got a not a bad spot I mean, you definitely can be a little bit worse back up there, but I'm happy right here where I'm at I'm just happy to be here to watch it in general We present a celebration of festival of the Lion King Amare Well, we have been expecting you Welcome everyone, it's me, Simba. You've all picked a very special day to visit. You see today We've come to town for a big celebration and you my friends are invited to join in the fun Boy that was amazing, isn't it? I love it and now we can come out and we can say hello to Pumba here Actually, it looks like Pumba's sleeping doesn't look like he's just sleeping. He's like just Weaving his head. 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 Archerio's down to who? Oh No, and it also looks like when we came out of the show. It started raining It's like rain drops falling on my head It's not too bad though. Just little drizzles, but I still need to get something to eat So I think we're gonna head to Satooli Canteen I put my mobile order in so by the time I get over there It should be ready and I like walking in to the Valley of Mora Start to hear all the crazy animals in here. You hear that? It's like I'm staying at Boulder Ridge But can we just talk about how much I love festival of the Lion King? It is such an amazing show. It makes me a little teary-eyed. I have no idea why I just have a great connection with it And I was so happy back honestly my mom when she came to visit that was her favorite show. She absolutely loved it I remember coming here Vacationing the first time I saw it. I didn't know what to expect and then I was like wow Like it hits you so hard and it's unbelievable and it's always stayed there as my favorite show at Disney like throughout the years always Here is a look at the menu you create your own Satooli bowl So you pull like select your protein and get grilled beef grilled chicken You can get a combination and get shrimp and you can get tofu and you select your base Rice and beans red and sweet potato hash noodles or a salad and then you select your sauce so I think I'm gonna do a combination bowl with red and sweet potato hash and I don't think I'm gonna do any sauce. I like it plain And here it is take a look at this bad boy Like I said, I got the red and sweet potato hash And then we got the combination of beef and chicken and doesn't that all just look so amazing? Technically this is a quick service meal and because French Quarter is not open I would have to say this is the best quick service meal you can get on property hands down the best This is my first time actually getting the red and sweet potato hash So I want to try to get a little bit of everything. I always like to get a combination bite. That's why I ordered the combination Not perfect bite Seriously though. This is so amazing. I absolutely love it. It is so good. Holy moly I can eat a whole another portion probably. I'll have another I Would be interested in seeing what the noodle base tasted like but I like this potato hash I mean, this is delicious and it mixes so well with the beef much too good Honestly, I can probably just come in here and eat this red and sweet potato hash on its own It is that good. I mean the roast beef and the chicken are phenomenal as well But we're really ties it all together is that right there? That was so good and now I am full like that is a big portion, too I don't think I've ever felt like so full from a quick service meal before so delicious though I hands down recommend getting anything from there next. I want to try the cheeseburger pods I think that would be interesting Flight of passage is still at a 50-minute wait, but I really feel like the rain's gonna come down pretty hard So I think we're gonna start making our way to the front of the park just in case we get caught Before I leave the Valley of Mora though, I do want to show you a really cool easter egg I think I mentioned this before in a video that I didn't even get to put out because I fell so far behind on my Pennsylvania trips there was a day I came here with Jackie and Jackie actually she put her video out But I was trying to like set up my Pennsylvania vlogs and I never got to release it I just thought about that so I have like a hidden video that I've never got to show anybody and then post it anywhere This scale for right here on the restroom is actually from MGM studios in the streets of America It was hanging off one of the buildings there And I thought it's just a cool little easter egg that they repurposed and put it over here So you got a little bit of MGM studios in Pandora. Oh But I did want to show you guys that cooling spirit jersey that was talking about like this one But they have one for the Lion King Right here they are and you can see it says Spirit Jersey Lightweight and that's the same one that I have on now. It's actually very very comfortable and it's still sturdy like a spirit jersey It's a really good spirit jersey and now since we're actually right next to the autogrado I think I want to go down there see if we can see any autos a Little bit of a tongue twister Auto grotto brought to you by outer box outer auto otter Otter otter grotto outer box All right, the autogrado is awesome. I never got to see them out there like playing around and having a good time Like they were so I think I'm gonna call it a day here. I had a lot of fun hanging out at Animal Kingdom We tried a new cupcake a new beverage We also ate some satui canteen and that was phenomenal and we got to see the vessel line cake It's a very good day. And he was I hope you enjoyed the video. I enjoyed making it. We will see you next time Bye
