Celebrating Earth Day At My Least Favorite Disney World Park - 25th Anniversary of Animal Kingdom

Earth Day 2023 at Disney's Animal Kingdom

[@denisematthews6215]

Adam, I am truly sorry to hear that Animal Kingdom is your least favorite of the Disney parks. It makes me kind of sad, only because I was an animal keeper for 15 years in Chicago, and one of our gorilla groups was sent there to be a part of the opening animal collection there. Quite honestly, Animal Kingdom and EPCOT would be the two I would most likely hit. I get it, though, everyone probably has a least favorite when it comes to the parks. They all can’t be everything to everyone!

[@TheDailyWoo]

Never said I disliked it . Just all the others I love more

[@denisematthews6215]

Sorry, hun, I didn’t think you disliked it. Please don’t misunderstand what I said. I love daily watching your videos, and don’t want you to dread it when you see I’ve made a comment on one of them.

[@carolpaterson5]

My Fav park fr sure! AKL is my fav hotel too♥

[@QuincyDisneyVegan]

​@@denisematthews6215 AK and the waterparks are the parks I've not yet visited. I've been to the other three and Disney springs, but not those!

[@KatySandersOfDanPoint]

​@@denisematthews6215 stand your ground. He implies he doesn't like the park from his vlog title.

[@gstevens6948]

Your extremely mindful and purposeful omission of sweets and being more conscious about your health is indeed admirable. I admire you persistence and stamina to be more mindful about your health.

[@NathanSpies]

Animal kingdom is my favorite Disney Park! That’s mostly because it seems more relaxing than magic kingdom or Hollywood studios. Also I just like visiting zoos.

[@joevictor53]

I've only been to Disney World once about 7 years ago and I was expecting the Animal Kingdom to suck after hearing bad things about it online. I enjoyed it so much. It was so relaxed and felt different to the other parks. I wasn't really running around trying to get all the rides done. I feel the same as you, I loved seeing all the animals there and it felt like a trip to the zoo with a few rides as well. I also did the Wilderness Explorers thing from Up where you go around collecting stickers and that was a ton of fun. I really think Animal Kingdom gets way too much hate from people that go there all the time and have done everything to death

[@BobDoesReviews]

Remember the slogan when Animal Kingdom first opened? "Natazu!!!!!" (Not a zoo)

[@kathykay975]

​@@joevictor53 We're Local & we're there all the time since getting our first Annual Pass 23 years ago. Our Favorite Park & we love it just as much today!

[@brittanyreed3811]

Same.

[@maryannrenzulli2426]

LOVE!! AK....ALL those wonderful Animals...🐒🦓🦒🦆🦅🦩and you get more of a breeze ..with all the Tropical Vegetation around...Seems to be more relaxing there.I wish I could of been there today for the 25th, but I'm sure it was more crowded....Have Fun!!! 🦋🦋

[@cjtr83]

Animal Kingdom is a favourite of mine. I was there not long after it opened (still have & wear a Tee), But it always reminds me of some of Walts words. All the trees & plants were just planted and I've been able to see it grow and get more beautiful over the years. That too and it reminds me of my late Dad. All WDW does. Some of my most precious memories are over there. Thank you for going & sharing 🖤

[@suzannessweetkitchen6266]

Everest is my favorite ride out of all of the 4 parks!!! LOVE it! Thanks for sharing! Have a great Sunday!

[@NHoxworth]

F.Y.I. For most Disney World quick service locations, there is a binder available behind the counter with nutrition facts for each item. This is primarily designed for guests with food allergies to see ingredient lists, but you're welcome to ask the manager to see the binder to determine calorie counts.

[@mdf3530]

22:28 those red, yellow and white pipes are a holdover from when “Dinosaur” was “Countdown to Extinction”. It, along with entire Dino Land area, was sponsored by McDonald’s. The pipes have the chemical compositions of ketchup, mustard and mayonnaise on them.

[@Kimkloke]

Thanks for a great video, I was watching to see if I saw my Disney daughter working in the park. 😊 I hope you visit this park more often…it is one of my favorite. It’s beautiful in my opinion. I just got back April 10 from an 8 day visit, so much fun. 🎉

[@leannefabro3289]

I liked this video with the animal tour. Your lunch looked nice glad you got to meet up with Tampa Jay and Cris The Girl.

[@JacobLHooper]

Totally agree I would like to see more savory treat items for the special events!

[@kathryncargill3015]

Thanks! I was thinking yesterday, that I would love to see you do animal kingdom. I love it a lot. Happy belated earth day

[@contessalouannec8064]

I LOVE Kevin I saw Kevin in person in March 2023 Sooo Big and Beautiful colors.

[@matthewfarmer2520]

Good morning 🌞 Adam thanks for sharing. Happy earth 🌍 day . 😎

[@mdf3530]

Animal Kingdom is actually my favorite park when you combine everything

[@davie941]

hi again Adam and happy earth day for yesterday , really well done and thank you 😊

[@ceciliaandersson9177]

15:27 a wooden pole figure to the left, 32:50 I l love waterfalls 😍 and jeep ride 🚙among animals🦌🦏🦁🦩🦏🦓🦩🐊 so thank you Adam for sharing the visit to animal kingdom

[@Rite1010.]

I love animal kingdom the animals are never the same. We once went the day they deputed (outside) the first baby elephant born on property. He was playing with a big ball they gave them.

[@rhondaz356]

This was really cool, Adam. Thanks for sharing it with those of us who weren't there. I'm always impressed with the guides.🎉☀️👏

[@bobbyhand1]

HEY ATW...I WAS JUST WATCHING the NAT GEO CHANNEL THIS morning and they have a series that spotlights the veterinarians at Disney's Animal Kingdom. It seems that Disney not only hires good doctors for their animals, but all the support staff are awesome as well. Great Earth Day vlog.

[@downtown_abown]

Your safari bus driver was amazing. Loved the energy! Fun and informative.

[@carlavision6143]

Adam, really enjoyed your awesome video! Thank you for taking me along with you! Those animals are soo cool! I was and still am drinking my caffeinated beverage but, it's warm and not pipping hot. Looking forward to your next vlog.

[@badradiocaller]

Love Animal Kingdom. Nice break from the normal Disney.

[@annal8992]

According to Plan Disney, you should be able to see nutritional information for most quick service restaurants. They have a binder and you would need to ask to see it. They do this for allergies, but it says they would have calorie information too.

[@dianakoontz3518]

How-about-that-game...watched with you guys,,,WOW Thanks for this vlog😊

[@staceygoss4642]

I agree with you on the savory items!

[@Mutlap]

my coffee no sugar, teaspoon of cream that's it! love my coffee strong

[@WDWmommy]

you were cracking us up today... love your dry sense of humor

[@Recordology]

Dinosaur is rough and LOUD. Tons of fun!

[@jamieadisneyfan8317]

We were there the day before Easter in 1998! It was a pass holder preview day! It was so very hot that day!! And hardly any shade anywhere.

[@JFORSNY]

Nice day at the park, thanks for sharing.

[@Disneymagic24]

Kilimanjaro safari is such a great ride

[@cindylifestyleandmore]

Thank you Adam taking us to wild animal kingdom . Perfect for earth day!🌍🦁🐒

[@sandypetro8907]

Great Vlog Adam. Very interesting content. Also a always so cool to see you with Tampa Jay and Chris the girl. Those two rides you were on looks like so much fun. Thank you for taking us along. 😊💕

[@joecasey3134]

Cool vid Awesome fireworks show Myrtlewood looks like a nice place, well maintained 👍

[@mushieslushie]

When I go to a coffee shop like Starbucks, I have to get something in the coffee, usually I will get the honey almond milk flat white. When I make coffee at home though I use higher quality coffee and will drink it black. Its still an acquired taste for sure but I use an aero press and its pretty fast to make some good coffee at home.

[@kimberlyshalaby1134]

I liked seeing the flowers behind you in the beginning while in Celebration.

[@bonniehowell9206]

I miss Alien Encounter! I watched a few POV videos on YT and it doesn't do the ride justice since the best part of the ride was feeling like there was something breathing your neck or perched on your shoulders.

[@gstevens6948]

“A treasure trove of merch”…😂

[@annazherdetsky3007]

We saw you there! And watching this video we see that we were on the buss ahead of yours on the safari! Lol we’re the couple sitting in the last row seat. So funny!

[@justsomeobservations44]

And today’s the 26th anniversary. I’m exactly a year behind watching your videos haha. The one and only time I was at Animal Kingdom was July of 1998 when it was FAR from being a full-day park. Disney was really struggling to get people to show up there I remember my dad, brother, and I being the only guests in our ride vehicle on Countdown to Extinction…right in the middle of the day. Can’t wait to eventually go back there.

[@SandraLovesRoses]

Great animal spotting! I don't think I've ever heard the term boy boss. Great video! I liked it.

[@pacoimakid6658]

Thanks Adam, and props for the 227 reference!

[@debsmith1956]

Great job Adam glad your Rays won. I checked the Cards schedule but the Rays play my Cards at the Trop this year. Next year at Busch stadium.

[@correywebb]

“The giraffe was one of the roommates” 😂😂😂😂

[@loriwalker5922]

We went to Animal Kingdom on Friday. It was very crowded & extremely hot. Lol My daughter loves riding Expedition Everest. I enjoy riding the Safari. It is also my least favorite Park of Disney. I like going there on cooler days. Thanks for the video Adam! Have a great day!

[@catshepherd3102]

I loved the stand-by queue in Expedition Everest. We were in line for forty-five minutes and I wasn’t bored in the least. If you’re at all interested in Himalayan or Buddhist culture, there’s so much there to see and explore.

[@adventureswithkyle]

I was working at animal kingdom lodge yesterday and it was the busiest I’ve ever seen it there haha

[@denisefink507]

The animal you drew a blank on is Lemur, think of Madagascar and King Julien..lol. Kevin is adorable, love anything animals like zoos and aquariums and such, I hope to go to Disney someday. Thanks for the content!

[@chade.7948]

I imagine Adam fading away from KZbin someday and driving my Disney bus on one of my future vacations, or becoming another cast member. 😊

[@mdf3530]

He’d have to get a CDL with a passenger endorsement for that.

[@maribelsanchez7726]

That chicken salad looked amazing! Finding healthy food options can be challenging but your doing a great job!

[@JP105INYO]

Hey Adam! We were there at rope drop, saw the ceremony. They did a nice job.

[@MiNuSThisDay]

The end is always so sad .. thank you Adam

[@jenifermac-5150]

I really enjoyed today's video! Nice job! I would put that chicken salad with ranch dressing under 600 calories.

[@vacationsbymk]

Great to see you in AK, I cannot remember ever seeing you there.

[@ericlindenmuth7517]

Thanks Adam!! I didn't know anything about the DAK park. I have never been to WDW...

[@danielvandersall6756]

Yeah, more an EPCOT guy myself. Do have to admit it is a very impressive place.

[@alexsandrakelly7586]

DAK seems to have healthier food choices. You should go more! Lots to explore ❤

[@susanboatman7913]

I love Animal Kingdom, because of all the animals that are in the park are endangered. I love Disney's conservation policy.

[@johnbartholf777]

I'd just like to point out that the base of The Tree of Life is the structural foundation for an offshore oil drilling platform 😂 Says it all, really. Happy Earth Day!

[@Fudgiedawhale35]

Countdown to Extinction, which is also an awesome Megadeth album

[@martianleader1]

I loved everest and dinosaur when I went to animal kingdom. Surprised to see the two foam dino toys still in the gift shop. I got them when I went in 2016. 😊

[@kimymarie596]

I think showing how to eat healthy at Disney could do good. And not all vegan. I find a lot of vloggers assume vegan is healthy, but I’d like to see good options of all varieties. Thanks :)

[@moreplease394]

Being a raw vegan is probably healthier than being a vegan eating "not-dogs." Part of being vegan is avoiding processed foods and alot of these plant based foods are just as processed as McDonalds. I assume that's why they're saying "plant based" instead of vegan. But they can claim its a vegan option?

[@NadaSurferTube]

14:09 Yep, definitely gives me Lament Configuration vibes! But also, am I the only one that finds the Tree of Life kinda creepy close up? All those animals carved into it make it look like the Pillar of Souls equivalent for animals.---the Tree of Animal Souls!!!! Totally see Pinhead all up in the DAK !

[@KyraHogue]

AK is my fave WDW park, but I totally understand it can't be everyone's. Wishing you the best with your weight loss goals this year! I have some, too!

[@imfatman8192]

The Hellraiser reference 😂😂

[@BriggsStratton11]

Great show!

[@kathykay975]

Animal Kingdom is our Favorite Park! And it has been since the day it opened. Long before Everest & Pandora. We're Local & we're there a little lot.

[@CaryUSA2007]

Animal lover that I am, Animal Kingdom would probably be one of my favorite places. And some of the other exhibits and attractions, not so much. I'm not a ride lover, rollercoasters make me ill, and the food is way too expensive to even enjoy it even if you can afford it lol Everyone is different and enjoys different things. It's all good. I love the fact that Adam shares everything whether it's his favorite or not. Tank ewe Adam da Woo.😘

[@mykemyber92]

You miswrote “the best, most imaginative Disney park”

[@margaretwolak9849]

😁✌️You Got This...I was tempted in Break Room filled with "Sweet-Treat"(I work at Holiday Market in Canton "...I said I need to do more cardio...lest Carbo's

[@johnnymoran180]

AK is my least visited park as well. Last time I visited, I only rode Expedition Everest, and Dinosaur..

[@TheGatlinburgHussey]

Good morning from Gatlinburg TN Mr Woo!!🏞️🌄🐻

[@dianakoontz3518]

As a nurse, my patient was the doctor who delivered "Rudy Huxtuble"..In Real Life. He said it was his claim to fame😅

[@Corgis175]

Animal Kingdom is by far my favorite of anything Disney.

[@brunswicksucks]

Love the T-shirt. I have the same one but in blue.

[@boesnipes3305]

It would be great to have more animal kingdom videos!

[@chuckschaefer9477]

Adam, how is Mom doing with her annual pass?

[@mustangcindy1303]

I was there also for a short period of time because of the reservation system. But even though I didn’t see the ceremony in the morning I did have a good day at Magic Kingdom and Animal Kingdom. When I went to buy the pins I was told the Tree of Life Pin was the special one for the day so I got one.. I notice you didn’t get that one of those. I didn’t see the assortment of pins cause I went into the other store.

[@MikesVegas]

I’m a hot coffee drinker as well, but lately, I’ve been enjoying Starbucks Cold Brew Coffee, but NO ICE !, I like it room temperature 😋👍☕️

[@candarianpumpkin]

Although it is fun, DinoLand U.S.A. always seemed a bit lackluster. Count Down to Extinction (Dinosaur) was the coolest part of it. Would be great if the area were redesigned with a lot more dinosaur awesomeness!

[@BenLaurence]

Animal Kingdom is an amazing park to just look at, if I lived in the area I’d go for lunch, sit on a bench and read a book but other than that it’s definitely not my favorite 😅 Dinosaur is cool, Everest is cool but there just needs to be more. A jungle book splash mountain style ride, lion king dark ride, if properly integrated Indiana Jones could work… I don’t know they need more stuff so do there other than walk around and appreciate the visuals

[@gaylebonacorsi3221]

That is my goal to hang out and read a book at the AK. 🎉 a great park to get my steps in. I wish I lived there.

[@bzydad]

On my honeymoon we spent 10 days at WDW which was also the opening month of Animal Kingdom, it was a very hot week and they ran out of bottled water 😥

[@madebykemo]

Love the smart meal choices continuing. Keep up the trend bro 💪

[@brendakrieger7000]

I hope everyone had a good Earth Day 2023🌎🐸🐝🌷 Sending love and joy to all 💜 Yes,I remember 227. Great TV show! Jackie Harry was a hoot🤣

[@jacquelinejanewashere]

Glad to see expedition everest is open

[@maribelsanchez7726]

The Fanny pack is coming back in style 😂

[@MikesVegas]

Happy Sunday Adam 😎

[@keithmabe6015]

Thank you Adam...

[@phil7615]

Drop sugars as quickly as you can, & the processed foods, in 2-3 weeks you’ll see a major change! Good luck! 👍👍

[@claireevans2336]

Great vlog - I cannot believe I know something about Disney (only 'cos daughter showed us) that Adam doesn't 😯 - but I guess it's your least visited so there we go - I love safari and the gorilla's and walk thru. I would love to know what you think of the AK Lodge and villas?

[@arthur_shins]

love that dinosaur ride, it is scary ! but I'm not complaining.

[@daronmarkley826]

Hey Adam I’m sure you’ve heard by now at Disneyland the show Fantasmic the dragon used in the show caught fire and if you watch David’s of Fresh Baked latest video he talks about it now I wanted to say that it was nice going back to Animal Kingdom it’s such a great park and it was nice seeing parts of the park I haven’t seen before and with all the times you’ve been there I was surprised to hear that that park was your least favorite but it seemed like in this video you started to really taking a liking of the park more so than before and I’m hoping that you decide to spend more time there because through your videos I’m experiencing such a beautiful park now with that peace ☮️ love ❤️ and happiness to you Adam and I’ll see you on the next awesome Adam the daily woo adventure peace ☮️ out ✌️

[@Chrisfeb68]

That was pretty cool.

[@danieljustdaniel9550]

At 5:16 the red car going by could be us, we left and saw all that traffic coming in.

[@kevinconaway1727]

Definitely my least favourite, it's hot in Florida to start with but that park, mega hot, enjoyed your day, so flipping busy, good to see you staying eating better Adam, inspires me anyway Thankyou

[@MikeSugarbaker]

Adam, do you ever find yourself thinking, "today I didn't even have to go to AK. Gotta say it was a good day."

[@101egals]

The witch doctor in the Everest gift shop looks like the witch doctor from Scooby-Doo intro

[@tippymerlot9024]

My son, Noah, doing the spiel on the tram. We love you, ADAM!!

[@russ8487]

Hi Adam, I believe it's Trilo-bites, not Trill-Bites. A play on the word Trilobite, an extinct marine arthropod. And now you know. 😉
