    Don't miss the Animation Experience! We drew "Scar" from he Lion King and it was a blast. An animator teaches you, step by step, how to draw a Disney character. I don't know of anything that is more at the heart of Disney than this experience. We loved it! Makes for a nice souvenir. (Mine was the best of our family's efforts, as voted on by....me! LOL)

    The Flaska Reclinata looks like a space ship that crash landed and got reclaimed by nature, but it also burst open when it crashed which let the plant life of Pandora intertwine with microscopic life that was inside the ship.
    And when it sprays water on you it's actually using you as a pollen transporter

    Wanted to share another fun hidden thing in AK, but when you're in the outside line for Flight of Passage behind the floating rocks there is a crevice in one of the farthest rocks to the right where Ikrans (banshees) are hanging out in. They are small to seem like the rocks are far away. I noticed it first time in line, but my family thought I was lying until I pointed it out at a different part in the line.

    15:58 as far as the Dinoland re-theme to the Tropical Americas… figurines of dinosaurs were found in Mexican cultures.
    And there are burial stones with ancient indian dinosaur drawings on them found in Peru.
    Kind of curious to think about, considering this most likely dates back to before dinosaur was even a coined term.
    Just saying that those sculptures can still fit in the Tropical Americas if you really wanted them to

    The My Disney Experience must have been watching, because they now have the locations of the charging stations in all parks! Feathered Friends in Flight is an amazing show with great cast (birds and people!) and a great place to sit down and rest in shade! Hoping they keep bar tender, Jimmy, from Restaurantosaurus at the newly designed area! The gift shop at Expedition Everest used to sell "prayer flags," but no longer - wonder why - culturally inappropriate?

    Animal Kingdom is my Monday (first full day) park when I go.
    I love DinoLand and hate to see it go. It is fun theming (1960's roadside attraction, including Burma Shave style signs). Dinosaur can fit into the America land since DinoSue was found in North Dakota. But I wander what will happen to all the artifacts displayed there at present.

    Indiana Jones would be more appropriate for Hollywood Studios because the movies mainly focused on people. Encanto MIGHT work because it gave a lot more focus on animals than Indiana Jones did...I personally think they should keep DinoLand-just rip out the carnival part and turn it into an attraction themed to prehistoric mammals.

    • @kdusel1991
      @kdusel1991 Місяць тому

      I think they're probably changing it cuz it has the same ride system as dinosaur and that makes it easier to build on that rather than tearing it down and putting in a new ride. That being said I hope the new ride is good and well themed!

    • @derekdarvell
      @derekdarvell Місяць тому +1

      They are adding Indiana Jones to Animal Kingdome because it goes with the idea of Indiana Jones in the Jungle. However, Indiana Jones Stunt Show goes more with the idea of Hollywood Studios because its focused on showing how the stunts are done and how Indiana Jones is made. I never really took a focus on Dino Land as it is not anything to do with Disney.

    Why am I obsessed and love Disney’s Dinosaur?
    I practically grew up watching Dinosaur, and it’s where I got my childhood love for dinosaurs. And it’s my all-time favorite Disney film. Since the company was going to replace DinoLand U.S.A. by turning it into the new South American land with Encanto and my number one favorite ride DINOSAUR was going to transform into an Indiana Jones ride and I was NOT happy about it. I have so obsessed with dinosaurs since I watched one of the Disney movies that had dinosaurs and I certainly did NOT ask Disney to replace DinoLand USA because I've tried to tell everyone that the dinosaurs are always part of the animal kingdom, but unfortunately, they did not listen. I really hate getting ignored and people should've known that the dinosaurs are NOT monsters, they're animals.
