Jambo Kristine! Welcome to planDisney.
Your wild adventure at
Disney's Animal Kingdom Theme Park is right around the corner. Make time to catch my two favorite shows
Festival of the Lion King and
Finding Nemo: The Big Blue... and Beyond! Check the
My Disney Experience Mobile App under the "Tip Board" for showtimes.
Unfortunately, if you cannot utilize the
Locker Rentals to hold your luggage for the day, you will need to have an alternate plan. Off the top of my head, I have two suggestions for you. I would consider keeping your luggage at your hotel and allotting enough time to use rideshare services. The rideshare drop-off location at Disney's Animal Kingdom Theme Park is very close to the front gates. Secondly, car rentals are very affordable in the Orlando area. Consider a one-way car rental for the day. This way you get the benefit of keeping your luggage in your vehicle, your ride to the airport is waiting for you, and you get more time in the park.
My favorite midday break at this park is a relaxing visit to
Nomad Lounge. When you are close to the lounge, join the walk-up list right from the app by selecting your party size, and the current date and tapping "Now." Try out the
Tiffin's Bread Service with a specialty cocktail or craft beer.
Keeping it Magical,
Cindy
