Jambo Phteve!
Welcome to
planDisney! Thanks for stopping by as you prepare to embark on your
Walt Disney World adventure. The magic begins in just a few days, so let's answer your question.
What a sweet partner you are to organize a unique experience for your girlfriend!
Disney's Animal Kingdom Theme Park offers a few
behind-the-scenes tours that may interest her. Review the details for
Caring for Giants and
Up Close with Rhinos to see if either will work for you and if there is availability for your dates. Reservations are recommended, and these tours are popular, so be sure to book your preferred experience right away. For a more immersive experience, consider the
Wild Africa Trek. This is more of an expedition than a tour focused on animal care, but a few of my planDisney pals recently did this and had a blast. Check out their video linked with this answer!
During your time at Disney's Animal Kingdom Theme Park, don't miss
Conservation Station. Board the
Wildlife Express Train to Rafiki’s Planet Watch, departing from Harambe Station in the Africa section of the park. All exhibits and experiences here are included in your theme park admission; you'll encounter a veterinary treatment center, nutrition center (see what tasty treats are being prepared for park residents!), science center, and more. While you're here, try your hand at
The Animation Experience. I'm no artist, but the lively Cast Members draw me in, and I always enjoy myself.
I hope this is helpful and gives you some ideas for spending a special day at Disney's Animal Kingdom Theme Park with your girlfriend. This park serves some of my favorite food and beverages in Walt Disney World.
Nomad Lounge (for drinks and snacks),
Satu'li Canteen (quick service), and
Yak & Yeti™ Restaurant (table service) are a few of my picks for dining here. Thanks again for visiting us at planDisney, and best wishes for an unforgettable trip!
