Hello there, Melissa!
Like you, I’m also Team Rope Drop. Early Entry for Guests staying at Disney Resort hotels is such a perk because you can go on so many attractions during this time. I like to show up 30 minutes before the 30-minute early entry window begins so that I’m one of the first people in line to enter the Walt Disney World theme parks. So much for feeling like Sleeping Beauty when I’m on vacation!
You can find all of the attractions that are planned to operate during the early entry period on the
Early Theme Park Entry website. Unfortunately, at this time,
Kilimanjaro Safaris is not on the list. I usually like to start my day with
Avatar Flight of Passage and
Expedition Everest - Legend of the Forbidden Mountain, and then I head over to Kilimanjaro Safaris once it’s open. I also like going on Kilimanjaro Safaris in the evening because you’ll see totally different animals moving around. Avatar Flight of Passage is one of my favorites because you get to ride a banshee through the World of Avatar, and you can actually feel it breathing! If you’re looking for a light breakfast snack after riding Avatar Flight of Passage, I always grab a Pongu Lumpia, a pineapple-cream cheese spring roll, from
Pongu Pongu. No matter what, you’ll feel like a Wildnerness Explorer visiting this theme park.
Did you know that Disney’s Animal Kingdom Theme Park just celebrated its
25 anniversary on Earth Day? I just love that the Disney Conservation Fund demonstrates how Disney is dedicated to protecting the magic of nature by giving back. Feel free to
follow up if you have any other questions.
May the magic be with you!Melanie
