Hi there, Cathrine,
Thank you stopping by planDisney with your question.
Disney's Animal Kingdom Theme Park is my favorite in all of
Walt Disney World Resort because of its emphasis on education and conservation of wildlife around the world, so I too hope to one day experience Caring for Giants and Up Close with Rhinos.
Because these are such popular tours, they regularly fill to capacity. I just spoke to a very friendly Cast Member who provided some insight into the reservation process as well as a helpful tip for securing your dream reservation. The window for booking your desired Enchanting Extra will open for the length of your stay 60 days from your
Disney Resort hotel reservation arrival date. She suggested calling at 6 AM on day 60 to reserve a date towards the end of your vacation as it should have more availability for your party. This is because once a date reaches the 60-day window it is available to all guests. She mentioned that she has seen these experiences fill up from online reservations at midnight when the window opens! Of course, for these
Enchanting Extras to sustain this level of popularity, they're sure to be memorable experiences. I do recommend that you keep checking back as your vacation approaches to see if any reservations become available. Guests do sometimes change their plans.
Even if you are unable to secure one of these coveted experiences, you're sure to have plenty of quality animal sightings on
Kilimanjaro Safaris, Maharajah Jungle Trek, and Gorilla Falls Exploration Trail. I hope this was helpful, Cathrine, and that you have a magical vacation. Feel free to stop back by with any additional questions that arise!
Cheers to 2024,
Lizzie
