Jambo and hello, Roshell! A day on safari
and walking down the middle of Main Street, U.S.A. That's the heartbeat of a holiday!
Looking at the calendar for July 24,
Disney's Animal Kingdom Theme Park is open from 8 a.m. until 6 p.m.
Magic Kingdom Park opens at 9 a.m. and lights up the night until 10 p.m. Since you are starting at Magic Kingdom, you can park there and start your day in the shadow of Cinderella Castle. When you are ready to roam with the wildlife,
Disney Transporation can whisk you off to Animal Kingdom. In my experience, buses between theme parks start running an hour after the theme park opens. After you have roared through the safari and soared through Pandora, you can take the bus back to Magic Kingdom to end your day with the pop and sparkle of
Happily Ever After.
You can also drive between the theme parks. Just show your parking receipt, and you can change parking lots throughout the day without having to pay again. Because parking for the Magic Kingdom is at the Transportation & Ticket Center, I would use the bus for the park-hopping portion of your day. You will get dropped off right by the Magic Kingdom gates and can dash more quickly into the magic.
Did you know the
My Disney Experience app can help you navigate the parks, including transportation options? Just use the "Get Directions" function and the app will guide you where you want to go, including estimates on how long it will take.
