This should be used as a promotional video for Disney World 😂 The love you have for Disney is truly infectious (in the best way 😬)! Thanks for making the work day a little brighter 😄
Molly, I hope you see this comment. Really and truly for the first time, you made me cry. You went through Gorilla Falls, and had some wonderful shots of my man Geno ( Alpha male) . The best of which was when he dragged the sheet , had his snack in hand, and quietly sat in the shade. Geno was brought over with the first group of gorillas ever to be in Animal Kingdom at its opening. He was a teenager when he came. He came from Lincoln Park Zoo in Chicago , where I was an animal keeper at the time. I did not have the opportunity to work directly with him ; but I knew who he was for sure! I was overjoyed and a little sad to see him at the same time, as he is 39 years old, which is an advanced age for a gorilla in captivity. As you saw, he was moving a bit slow. Thank you again for your great video, and love of Animal Kingdom. I definitely share that with you!
Molly you are delightful! Listening to you giggle when the hippo flipped just made my day! I've been waiting for your Festival of the Lion King reaction!
I'd so love to do animal kingdom with Molly. It's even making me think I should do a solo trip. My husband passed away 18 months ago and we loved Disney. We never knew those trails were there!!
We all have that love...that's why we're here. I like the fact that she allows her reactions to be part of her videos. She could just keep it to herself...collect herself and then carry on with the video. But she knows we get it. (And are usually tearing up with her.)
Don't tell people how great Animal Kingdom is, I like keeping it a secret. And when I saw Molly crying at the beginning I thought, "Lion King must have reopened" haha
Molly, nothing gets me more exciting about returning to Disney World than you and your videos. Thank you for jetting me go to Animal Kingdom today through your visit, You made me cry!
I love how we all instantly know at the beginning when Molly was in tears she must have just seen Festival of the Lion King. Love her! ❤️ I also just watched the Trapped video where she re-enacted Fantasmic. What an emotional day lol.
We went to Disney in February and did all four parks. Animal Kingdom was our favorite day. It felt so uncrowded and relaxing and we went on most of the rides more than once. The park is so beautiful. My kids love Expedition Everest and we went on it FIVE times with no wait. It was our first time in Pandora and we rode Flight of Passage and Na'vi River Journey twice each and ate lunch at the Canteen. We all agree it was our favorite day out of the 4.
Whoever said AK is the worst is crazy!! You have me so hyped to try those cheeseburger pods. I agree there is no worst, they're all great in their own ways.
@@SnowFamilyVacations I’m gonna go with Hollywood Studios! If I HAD to get rid of one. And I like star wars! But if I had to get rid of one, that would be it.
just caught that this is uploaded on a brief break at work…will look forward to seeing this afterwork, this evening!!! BUT, Animal Kingdom IS my FAVORITE park!!! (Love Pandora, Love Africa, as my two favorite “lands”)
I am taking my family to Disney next month. As a musician and music teacher, I can't wait for Festival of the Lion King. Of course, I'm going to be a HOT MESS just like you, Molly!
Animal Kingdom is my favorite too!! It bothers me when people say it's just a zoo. The theming throughout the park is AMAZING and I think it really changed the game for how imagineers create park lands. I remember being blown away by the detail in Africa and Asia when the park first opened... Awesome newer lands like Galaxy's Edge wouldn't exist without Animal Kingdom raising the bar on how to make an immersive themed land.
I saw you that day! They told me they weren't doing the show and so I told the back of the line. You looked at me like you wanted to rip my throat out so I never got the chance to tell you how much I love you and your videos. lol I'm glad you got in! We went to play instead!
Awesome video Molly! AK is a 2 day park for me...I adore it 💕. I am hoping they bring back something to take the place of Rivers of Light for a night time show, shame to have all that seating and no show, I really enjoyed ROL.
Thank you for sharing the Festival of the Lion King. I never in my life expected to cry watching this. When they started coming out - I can’t even contain the happy tears. We get to go back in July and I can’t wait to see this show again.
“Not going to see that in Hollywood studios!” 😂. They don’t have pandora either! But I have been 4 times now and haven’t done festival of lion king or the trails! I always head to pandora but now I know what I’m doing in March!!!
My favorite park changes all the time. I have recently said I need to go to AK more often. I avoid it because I have vertigo issues and altho I try the rides, I just can’t tolerate most of the rides at AK. I don’t mind it though, as I enjoy the shows, especially Lion King. The food is the best out of all of the parks. There’s so much shade, it makes for just walking around a pleasure. So glad you made this video Molly as I will be looking for what you shared.
Molly: birds make me uncomfortable Also molly: BUT LOOK HOW COOL THESE DUCKS ARE! We love you molly. And boy if felt silly crying before seeing festival of the lion King imagine how I felt before I had seen someone else see festival of the lion King 😂😂😭
Molly, I cried at Festival of the Lion King in this video and I haven’t even seen it in person before!! I’m so glad you got to see it again and I can’t wait to get to see it when I visit the best park again next year!
Molly- you are amazing. Thank you for the Disney and Harry Potter tours. I have a trip planned to Florida in November and it has been 9 years since I visited, so your videos are helping me plan!!!
We used to make this a half day park, but we too, have fallen in love with so many things in AK that it's now a park we take our time at. We eat and drink and ride and watch the animals. It's awesome! Molly has turned us on to the Nomad Lounge, as well. Love that place!
We have decided Molly has the most contagious laugh on coasters, could replace any food network host and shares our love of all things Animal Kingdom! Thank you Molly for all of these videos. They are so helpful and enjoyable to watch.
Yes Molly PREACH! 👏 Animal Kingdom is also my favorite! The best set of rides, the amazing animals, the activities, and of course the ENTERTAINMENT!!!! I am very sad because Rivers of Light was my favorite nighttime show too 😔 Our shared love of DAK.... another reason your my spirit animal!
I so agree with Molly. The attractions and food are awesome, but the live entertainment is what sets the Disney Parks way ahead of all other parks, Between the amazing Cast Members throughout the parks and the live entertainment Cast Members, no other parks comes close to that "Disney Experience." When the Tarzan live show was at AK my kids got to do the Tarzan yell on stage before the show and they have never forgotten that. I too truluy love Festival of the Lion King and we always "Big Blue World" as loud as we can at the Nemo show. Another great video Molly as always. Your the best!
OH Molly! Thank you for the virtual visit to Animal Kingcom…I’m 241 days out from my next visit down. I just can’t wait!! (but you helped with this small taste of our favorite park! Thank you!!!)
Hi Molly, my wife usually watches these Disney videos .. but lately I have been joining her.. I find your videos provide excellent information on the topics you cover! It’s gotten our household excited again about travelling to Disney again (on day soon, hopefully)! We were scheduled to be at Disney the day it closed last year .. so our trip like many others got postponed 😢I was wondering if you are doing any videos on recent restaurants in Epcot? What’s special at each restaurant.. must haves .. stay away from .. I’ve never been to Epcot before, so I am planning on going their on my next trip .. a video with this information would be super helpful!! Thanks! Stay safe!
I'm sitting here crying with Molly watching the Lion King show. It's my all time favorite show too. AK is my favorite park too. Its such a relaxing environment to me.
Just returned from Disney and I just didn’t love AK. Despite arriving at 7:30 the line for Flight of Passage was extremely long. Ride was cool but not mind blowing. Navi River was ok, but I’d trade it for another boat ride most any time. So few rides, so spread out, and the pathways feel crowded. Train to planet watch was broken down and we ended our day at 12:30 having ridden very little but feeling super hot and tired. I’m glad so many love it, you can enjoy it while I’m at the Magic Kingdom or EPCOT.
Aww Molly, your love & passion for Disney always fills my heart ❤️ Animal Kingdom is a beautiful park , it has so much to offer! The animals are wonderful & I loved how you could see the hippo swimming & having fun from below- so cool. My favourites are 🐯tigers, so majestic! Thank you Molly so much for all the amazing detailed info along the way, fascinating! I’m so thrilled that the Lion King Show is back, so emotional 😢💕all the feels for sure! I hope Rafiki’s Planet Watch is back soon too & you can pet the Goats & draw a character - I love all that! X
Molly I was never a high fan of Animal Kingdom but you Changed my mind today!! Your park tips and food tasting really convinced me!!👍👏 I have seen the Lion King show years ago and it also made me 😢 it's so well done and BEAUTIFUL! You did a WONDERFUL job today! I am so proud of you Molly!⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐🤗😊👍👏👏👏👏WELL DONE AMAZING video!🦖🦕🦒🐆🐅🐯🦁🐘🦏
My 6 year old loved the wilderness explorers scavenger hunt. It was really fun getting to interact with the cast members and check out the park more than we would if we were just riding rides.
I luv seeing your videos Molly...yu make everything so interesting to see n do...yu showed me trails I've never seen before n snacks...it was great to see yu at Lion King Musical...so happy it's back not just for us but for the cast there...been so long wo it....can see how yu can be emotional for it's return...thx again Molly for explaining walls..posters better that I never saw, just go to rides...a show n eat..luv seeing all the animals n that monkey hanging above eating was amazing to see...yu made the park more appealing for guests to visit....
Molly when we can travel internationally again I hope you will make it to London England so you can go to Warner Bros Studios to see where the Harry Potter movies were filmed. I think it is a must do for you!
It is my favorite too, Molly!!! Love the animals! Love all the immersive details! Love the atmosphere!! It is even better when cultural representative Cast Members are there (I love Africa, have gotten to travel to a couple of contries (South Africa, Botswana) for work and really love running into Cast Members from countries I’ve visited…so wonderful to have a visit with them there.
Molly you do an amazing job of bringing us the details a d back stories of animal kingdom. We learn so much from your videos. But I still don’t understand why your channel has to overlay other music on the shows and rides but we still love your videos
There are no words for getting the festival back! Let’s just all take a moment to ball our eyes out together!!!! So so snappy that cast is back to share their amazing talents!
28:20 fun fact: Disney intentionally keeps attractions just below the height at which FAA requires the red aircraft warning beacons 🚨 …don’t want those at the top ruining the illusion!
The bats are my favorite!!! When we went in 2019, right after the bats got there and they were still acclimating, they weren't out I definitely cried a little
All I can say is thank you for this video and your secret to having the best day at animal kingdom video. I'm actually taking a solo trip to Disney for the first time and I want to do things I haven't done before at the parks and this video for animal kingdom is everything I need to know so I can make the most of my day. I've never seen the festival of the lion king so I'm excited for that. I had no idea there was an affection section which im also excited for and I need to have a coffee by the tree of life where there's no one around cause that just looks super relaxing! I seriously can't wait for my trip.
The last time we saw the show, the cast pulled me out to imitate the sounds of Pumbaa ! Oh what fun, hopefully the cast will be able to include it again soon !
nutshelling this: Because ppl who are first time visitors don't get it. Not a huge amount of the mouse, only two real thrill rides and lately SO much closed with the big shows down and primeval whirl permanently closed (WHY???) and with how terrible theming on Dinosaur is (seriously, just give us Indiana Jones east). What those of us fortunate enough to go to WDW a LOT appreciate is the safari park / zoo like atmosphere with fantastic food and two of the BEST rides in all of the parks. Expedition Everest is easily the best of all thrill rides at Disney and Flight of Passage is just spectacular. It's still hard though, if someone told me I had to go to only ONE park all year I wouldn't pick AK even though it has my (and my daughter's heart). It's hard to admit this but if I had a full on do anything day but only ONE, I'd pick Hollywood Studios.
Animal Kingdom has the Nomad Lounge! I am anxious to find the corn on the cob snack you showed us one day. Oh there it is! There are Restaurants I haven’t visited yet! (Favorite Animal Encounter: lunch at a Sanaa window table with a Crowned Crane who came up to be social during my lunch!)
Molly is it the same actors as before lockdown? I love the king! He was such a strong baritone voice. And yes you made me tear up at work. Haha MY EMOTIONS!!!!!
People mentioned that to fix the yeti the top would have to be removed and I still wonder if during this long time of everything being closed if they could have fixed it.
Well, thanks for making me cry before noon on a Wednesday!! 😂 This video was great!! We love DAK and hopefully this video convinces others of what a great park it is!!
Zebra pants😂🤣😂 💯 accurate on food game...might be my fav park, even over MK, which I never thought I would say!!! Can’t wait to spend my bday there in June!!!
When I worked at the Plaza Ice Cream Parlor in Magic Kingdom, we did the ice cream cookie sandwiches! The cookies were so soft and delicious. Are they not doing them anymore?
I have been so excited and ready for Molly's reaction to Festival of the Lion King's return. YES!
Yes… As soon as I heard it was coming back the first thing I thought was I can’t wait for Molly to see it. LOL
I'm a trucker, jus cryin with Molly in my semi 🤣😭
This should be used as a promotional video for Disney World 😂 The love you have for Disney is truly infectious (in the best way 😬)! Thanks for making the work day a little brighter 😄

I'd so love to do animal kingdom with Molly. It's even making me think I should do a solo trip. My husband passed away 18 months ago and we loved Disney. We never knew those trails were there!!
Aw I'm so sorry for your loss :c If you're goign to make a solo trip I'm sure he'll be by your side the entire time
@@AwkwardTurtle10 thank you that's so nice of you to say that. I hope he will be.
Bev so sorry to hear about your husband, but I am sure he will be with you there !!!
I did a solo trip last fall. It was amazing. I highly recommend it.
Just yelled through my house "YES! MOLLY JUST POSTED ONE!" ... Just me? 🤣
You're not the only one! Any time I get a notification there's a new Molly video uploaded, it puts me in a great mood!
When Molly cries... we all cry :'(
I was crying too and I've only seen Festival of the Lion King twice! I think I was crying because I was happy for Molly lol
@@LPlandOFazul Right!!
We all have that love...that's why we're here. I like the fact that she allows her reactions to be part of her videos. She could just keep it to herself...collect herself and then carry on with the video. But she knows we get it. (And are usually tearing up with her.)
Yaaassss
Yes
Don't tell people how great Animal Kingdom is, I like keeping it a secret.
And when I saw Molly crying at the beginning I thought, "Lion King must have reopened" haha
me too!!!!
Same!! I went “Ooo Lion King is open!”
Molly, nothing gets me more exciting about returning to Disney World than you and your videos. Thank you for jetting me go to Animal Kingdom today through your visit, You made me cry!
I can't believe people like Hollywood Studios more than Animal Kingdom! There is so much to explore, and the atmosphere and food are hard to beat!
Molly, you are just so real talking about the things you love and enjoy. You are a joy to watch and just so awesome!
Well I have never been one to let someone cry alone. So I am sitting here crying too.
I love how we all instantly know at the beginning when Molly was in tears she must have just seen Festival of the Lion King. Love her! ❤️ I also just watched the Trapped video where she re-enacted Fantasmic. What an emotional day lol.

😁😁😁 I can't wait!!!!
Picking a favorite Disney park is like trying to pick a favorite child. I love them each the most for different reasons!
Whoever said AK is the worst is crazy!! You have me so hyped to try those cheeseburger pods. I agree there is no worst, they're all great in their own ways.
Same!! Will be the first thing I do when I go 😂
Saying there is no worst is a cop out 🤣 If someone forced you to never go back to 1 park again which one would you choose?
@@SnowFamilyVacations I’m gonna go with Hollywood Studios! If I HAD to get rid of one. And I like star wars! But if I had to get rid of one, that would be it.
just caught that this is uploaded on a brief break at work…will look forward to seeing this afterwork, this evening!!! BUT, Animal Kingdom IS my FAVORITE park!!! (Love Pandora, Love Africa, as my two favorite “lands”)
I cried with you. So excited. We have a trip planned in January
Now I know where the hippo ballerinas came from in Fantasia!
I am taking my family to Disney next month. As a musician and music teacher, I can't wait for Festival of the Lion King. Of course, I'm going to be a HOT MESS just like you, Molly!
Molly crying after festival of the lion King was me last week after I rode flight of passage for the first time LOL

Celebration of The Festival of the Lion King…Molly, my tears started when I could tell in your voice that yours started!!!! Remarkable show!!!!
Thank you for sharing the Festival of the Lion King. I never in my life expected to cry watching this. When they started coming out - I can’t even contain the happy tears. We get to go back in July and I can’t wait to see this show again.

I have a new description for enjoying a roller coaster... "Molly giggling". I do that too on all of their coasters. Just so much fun!
Seeing the animals speak to my heartstrings. Molly makes exploring the parks so much fun she is so informative.
MOLLY I’m way too pregnant to handle your tears rn I’m sobbing
Same!
Molly on all ears = AJ on dfb. Both do excellent jobs and shine.on their own skills putting these videos together. Appreciate both equally.
My favorite park changes all the time. I have recently said I need to go to AK more often. I avoid it because I have vertigo issues and altho I try the rides, I just can’t tolerate most of the rides at AK. I don’t mind it though, as I enjoy the shows, especially Lion King. The food is the best out of all of the parks. There’s so much shade, it makes for just walking around a pleasure.
So glad you made this video Molly as I will be looking for what you shared.
Molly: birds make me uncomfortable
Also molly: BUT LOOK HOW COOL THESE DUCKS ARE!
We love you molly. And boy if felt silly crying before seeing festival of the lion King imagine how I felt before I had seen someone else see festival of the lion King 😂😂😭
The last time I saw Festival of the Lion King was with my mother who is no longer here. Very special memory. 💞Thanks for sharing this Molly!!!!🥲
Molly, I cried at Festival of the Lion King in this video and I haven’t even seen it in person before!! I’m so glad you got to see it again and I can’t wait to get to see it when I visit the best park again next year!
Molly, you go ahead and cry those tears of joy. We are HERE FOR IT.
Molly- you are amazing. Thank you for the Disney and Harry Potter tours. I have a trip planned to Florida in November and it has been 9 years since I visited, so your videos are helping me plan!!!
Crying along with you…shows how much you truly love Disney and all the cast members. Animal Kingdom is a favorite of mine too.
Please come to Disneyland and DCA, Molly!!
I didn’t love AK until I did your “Best Day” plan on my last trip and now it’s my FAVORITE!
We used to make this a half day park, but we too, have fallen in love with so many things in AK that it's now a park we take our time at. We eat and drink and ride and watch the animals. It's awesome! Molly has turned us on to the Nomad Lounge, as well. Love that place!
I love the gorilla with his blanket. How he kind of spreads it out and sits on it.
We have decided Molly has the most contagious laugh on coasters, could replace any food network host and shares our love of all things Animal Kingdom! Thank you Molly for all of these videos. They are so helpful and enjoyable to watch.
Yes Molly PREACH! 👏 Animal Kingdom is also my favorite! The best set of rides, the amazing animals, the activities, and of course the ENTERTAINMENT!!!! I am very sad because Rivers of Light was my favorite nighttime show too 😔 Our shared love of DAK.... another reason your my spirit animal!
i can understand the tears after such a horrible year and to have something you love come back I get it
my biggest disney memory is when i was young, getting chosen at festival of the lion king. 15 years later, i still never forget getting chosen.
22:39 was the wrong time to be applying eye make up 😂
Love ya Molly!
I so agree with Molly. The attractions and food are awesome, but the live entertainment is what sets the Disney Parks way ahead of all other parks, Between the amazing Cast Members throughout the parks and the live entertainment Cast Members, no other parks comes close to that "Disney Experience." When the Tarzan live show was at AK my kids got to do the Tarzan yell on stage before the show and they have never forgotten that. I too truluy love Festival of the Lion King and we always "Big Blue World" as loud as we can at the Nemo show. Another great video Molly as always. Your the best!
OH Molly! Thank you for the virtual visit to Animal Kingcom…I’m 241 days out from my next visit down. I just can’t wait!! (but you helped with this small taste of our favorite park! Thank you!!!)
I clicked this from another video. I agree with you 100%. It is ALWAYS the park we do every trip. Thank you!
Great to see so much love for AK and Disney in general!
Festival of the Lion King is also my favorite show in all of WDW.. so glad it's back ❤❤
Going to DAK next month for the first time in my life and Molly has made me even more excited than I already was!!!
Nomad lounge is a must do at end of day to sit and relax with a cocktail and some great bites. Yummm
How many sunglasses do you own? Always stylin'!
Seeing a side to Molly we don't normally see...you are amazing as always.
Absolutely phenominal coverage of AK...LOVE this video. Thank you, Molly!!!
The only 'Bad" Disney park is a closed Disney park!!
Here's to THAT never happening again ;)
Hi Molly, my wife usually watches these Disney videos .. but lately I have been joining her.. I find your videos provide excellent information on the topics you cover!

DAK is already my favorite park but I LOVE watching you share and geek out over the details!
Thanks for sharing. Animal Kingdom is my favorite! Love the animals and the different lands - Africa, Asia, Dino, and Pandora!!
Molly when we can travel internationally again I hope you will make it to London England so you can go to Warner Bros Studios to see where the Harry Potter movies were filmed. I think it is a must do for you!
It is my favorite too, Molly!!! Love the animals! Love all the immersive details! Love the atmosphere!! It is even better when cultural representative Cast Members are there (I love Africa, have gotten to travel to a couple of contries (South Africa, Botswana) for work and really love running into Cast Members from countries I’ve visited…so wonderful to have a visit with them there.
I will say covid animal kingdom is just lacking that vibrancy that it usually has. The live entertainment definitely makes it what it is.
Molly you do an amazing job of bringing us the details a d back stories of animal kingdom. We learn so much from your videos. But I still don’t understand why your channel has to overlay other music on the shows and rides but we still love your videos
There are no words for getting the festival back! Let’s just all take a moment to ball our eyes out together!!!! So so snappy that cast is back to share their amazing talents!
It's my fav park also. It is the best to have a long slow day in. To just do the trails and look at the animals. It's amazing
We last went in 2016 and it was our least favorite park. This was before Pandora was open and it felt like a half day park.
I have been waiting for this video! Molly’s return to FOTLK. 😭
28:20 fun fact: Disney intentionally keeps attractions just below the height at which FAA requires the red aircraft warning beacons 🚨 …don’t want those at the top ruining the illusion!
The bats are my favorite!!! When we went in 2019, right after the bats got there and they were still acclimating, they weren't out I definitely cried a little
All I can say is thank you for this video and your secret to having the best day at animal kingdom video. I'm actually taking a solo trip to Disney for the first time and I want to do things I haven't done before at the parks and this video for animal kingdom is everything I need to know so I can make the most of my day. I've never seen the festival of the lion king so I'm excited for that.

It's still hard though, if someone told me I had to go to only ONE park all year I wouldn't pick AK even though it has my (and my daughter's heart). It's hard to admit this but if I had a full on do anything day but only ONE, I'd pick Hollywood Studios.
Wait ... but if it were reversed and I had to spend my whole year inside of a Disney Park 100% AK. No brainer.
I'll just set up camp right now.
Animal Kingdom has the Nomad Lounge! I am anxious to find the corn on the cob snack you showed us one day. Oh there it is! There are Restaurants I haven’t visited yet! (Favorite Animal Encounter: lunch at a Sanaa window table with a Crowned Crane who came up to be social during my lunch!)
Molly is it the same actors as before lockdown? I love the king! He was such a strong baritone voice. And yes you made me tear up at work. Haha MY EMOTIONS!!!!!
I had goosebumps as soon as the music started for Festival of the Lion King!
Molly you are totally adept at handling that phone/camera while you taste... I am in total awe of you woman. We love you MOLLY.... xoxo
Molly wants to travel to Disneyland?!?! You’re going to have so much fun and eat delicious snacks!!!😁
People mentioned that to fix the yeti the top would have to be removed and I still wonder if during this long time of everything being closed if they could have fixed it.
I was crying with you Molly, Festival of the Lion Is my favorite too
Oh man my mom and I loved Joe Rohde when we watched the abc specials on the parks, my mom LOVED his earrings.
Love this video Molly!! I love Animal Kingdom Park so much... you captured the sights and sounds so well!!! Thank You!!!
Well, thanks for making me cry before noon on a Wednesday!! 😂 This video was great!! We love DAK and hopefully this video convinces others of what a great park it is!!
We'll be there tomorrow. My 8 month old daughter loves animals! Can't wait for her to ride on Kilamanjaro Safari.

💯 accurate on food game...might be my fav park, even over MK, which I never thought I would say!!! Can’t wait to spend my bday there in June!!!
Goodness, Molly, You made me cry! lol Now I have to plan a trip to animal Kingdom.
This is by far my favorite Disney Park. It is truly magical and refreshing!!! Thanks for all you do!!
My favorite too Molly! I cried when I first got there, did not at the other parks!
When I worked at the Plaza Ice Cream Parlor in Magic Kingdom, we did the ice cream cookie sandwiches! The cookies were so soft and delicious. Are they not doing them anymore?
