Hi Julie,
Welcome to planDisney!
Up Close with Rhinos is one of the
Enchanting Extras Collection experiences that my family has enjoyed the most. Typically you can
book online, but you can also
call to speak to a cast member to check availability and reserve this experience. Remember the
advanced booking window details for Enchanting Extras. Currently, this experience is only offered once per day at 11:00 a.m. so you will want to book as soon as your advanced reservation window opens!
When my family experienced this tour, it was incredibly interesting. Our girls loved learning about the rhinos, their care, and, what was probably most fun, we got to see their personalities. One of our girls wants to study Zoology now and this experience was one of those that inspired her to consider it as a career. Of course, our girls also loved the transport vehicle ride backstage and getting to see areas of the park that are not normally visible to guests, so if you will have children with you, the entire experience is an adventure.
If you have some time or are unable to book Up Close with Rhinos, also consider the
Caring for Giants Tour. This one also fit within my family's budget and was perfect for our girls. They enjoyed hearing more about the elephants' daily activities and, now, you would get to meet the newest addition,
baby Corra!
Julie, I am sprinkling some pixie dust hoping that you will get that Up Close with Rhinos tour booked! Mark your calendar to be sure you are online and ready to make the reservation as soon as your reservation window opens. Keep up the
practically perfect planning!
Magic and memories,
Donyell
