Jambo, Alice!
Welcome to planDisney! We are DELIGHTED you stopped by and honored to help you plan your upcoming trip to Disney World! That’s the kind of news that deserves confetti, fireworks, and maybe even a celebratory Mickey-shaped treat! Whether you're chasing thrills, meeting favorite characters, or just soaking up the MAGIC, you’re in for an unforgettable adventure.
Speaking of adventures, you are in for one wild ride—literally! The
Starlight Safari at
Animal Kingdom Lodge is one of the most incredible, most underrated experiences at Disney World. Imagine cruising through the savanna at night, as zebras, giraffes, and exotic hoofed friends roam just feet away. It’s like stepping into your own Disney+ nature doc!
Now, let's talk about those trucks! Each open-air safari vehicle typically seats around 10 to 12 guests. If your party is larger than that, you’ll likely be split into two or more trucks—but don’t worry, you’ll still get to wave at each other between giraffe sightings! For really big groups, it’s a good idea to book early and mention your party size so Disney can do their best to keep everyone close.
Each ride is guided by a Cast Member full of animal knowledge and Disney charm, so it’s not just a ride—it’s an interactive adventure under the stars. Just make sure everyone in your group is eight or older, as that’s the age requirement for this experience. And yes, there are night-vision goggles for everyone, which makes it feel even more like a VIP adventure!
As you continue to plan, make sure you check out the
Disney Parks Blog for the most up-to-date information regarding all things Disney. Mickey and his pals have some exciting surprises planned, and we don't want you to miss any of the fun!
If you have other questions, please do not hesitate to ask. We are here to help in any way!
Have a MAGICAL day!
