Welcome to planDisney, Laura! It's lovely to help a fellow Guest from the UK plan a trip to The Most Magical Place on Earth... let the memories begin!
Animal Kingdom has a special place in my heart, as it's home to my absolute favourite ride,
Avatar Flight of Passage. I love flying through Pandora on a Banshee and then stopping off at
Pongu Pongu for a Night Blossom!
The
Up Close with Rhinos Tour looks incredible, so I can see why you’re keen to book it! Currently, U.K. guests aren’t able to book
Enchanting Extras until they’re in the U.S. So as soon as you land in the US, I would swiftly soar to your
My Disney Experience app or the
Disney World website and check availability for this experience! I often find that other Guests' plans may change, so I’m wishing upon a star that you’re able to snag a reservation for this popular experience during your trip.
You may also want to look at
Caring for Giants at Animal Kingdom or
Starlight Safari at
Animal Kingdom Lodge for unique animal encounters.
Top Tip: Animal Kingdom hosts one of my family’s favourite breakfast spots,
Tusker House Restaurant. We had children of all ages in our group, and there was something delicious on the menu for everyone. Don't forget to snap a
PhotoPass picture at the Tree of Life while you're there, it's a lovely souvenir of your day.
I hope you have the most wonderful holiday in August, Laura, and make memories to last a lifetime.
If you have any more questions, you always have a friend in me at

Magic Awaits,
Abi
