I Go To Disney World Every Week & These Are The BEST Things In Disney's Animal Kingdom

[@off2neverland13]

I loved seeing you emotional after watching The Festival of the Lion King, knowing I'm not the only one! When I was 5 years old, during my first trip to WDW, I was picked out of the crowd and got to play an instrument while dancing and walking around the stage and performers. Being such a shy kid, it was wild that I had no problem doing that! Such a core memory.. I didn't see the show again until 2020 (right before covid) which was 20 years later. I was so emotional watching the show and especially the part where they pick kids out of the crowd and have them dance and perform. I just remember thinking "This is going to be a core memory for them, like it was for me". Such a beautiful, inspiring and immersive show, I suggest everyone see it at least once in their lifetime!

[@hubbswifey]

I cried too during it! My son was like mom why are you crying? Couldn’t explain, just did. Was beautiful.

[@clairep3688]

At her last job these titles would always say “I go to Disney every day…” and now it’s “I go to Disney every week…” We love work-life balance! 👏👏 Here for the ✨personal growth✨

[@uopdrspy]

I'm going to guess she works even more now, owning her own company, than she did back then. It's just not every single day of her life in disney world. Definitely personal growth still, just a different type!

[@clairep3688]

@@uopdrspy Idk about that, for her past job I think she was also writing articles and creating social media posts, she said before that for party nights, openings, media previews, etc. she was running around taking pictures of everything, filming clips for multiple videos at once, getting info for blog posts and articles too. It might be more, or it might be less now. The best part though is that she’s her own boss now, she can choose how to best balance everything. Here for the growth! Edit: Also even if it is the same or more hours of work, commuting every day is a huge time suck that makes it difficult to balance. Doing more work from home is always better!

[@lisacujdik2484]

Molly I’m 64 and I’ve seen the Festival of the Lion King a hundred times and I cry every time and I was crying watching you talk about it❤️❤️❤️

[@MicheleKlinger]

I am so excited to see this series! We all have our own ideas of what must-dos are, but Molly's mix of popular and under-the-radar things is always such a good balance. I will be taking notes for each one of these videos and adding things to my upcoming trip plans (if they're not on there already lol)

[@kates7277]

Gotta be Nomad Lounge, Festival of the Lion King and Everest!

[@hilarys4889]

I love these types of videos! I think it would be cool to get a Alan and Max version of this as well.

[@Mamallina437]

Next week, my husband and I are coming to Disney World from California! We are celebrating our 40th anniversary! We spent part of our honeymoon at Epcot the year it opened!

[@claveauannie]

My son was so scared to ride Everest because he was really scared two days before riding Gardians. So a backward roller coaster was not appealing. I finally convinced him that it was not as fast, that he was gonna love it. It is now his favorite coaster. Thank you Molly for being you, I have been listening your vid for so long that I guess every choice except the Oasis.

[@karolyncampbell7368]

Love your videos, Molly! Great idea for a series. Love Mammoth Club. Though I like seeing what Alan and Max likes, Whenever you have Kronk at the end or speak to Mr. Eal those videos are even better. Thanks for showing your personality and the best, and sometimes least appreciated parts of the parks!

[@rootsandwingstravel]

Love this video and I would be excited to watch more from the other Disney parks! Thanks for what you do.

[@Chelsey502]

Yes go see the new Avatar!!! SO good. Thank you for this video! It’s really helpful for planning

[@Bella_Honey]

I got to take my high school graduation photos in ur hidden coffee spot 😁 we were able to get a capture your moment before park open and the photopass photographer took us there and it’s so special and beautiful, I love that place 🥹

[@shaunahogsmeade6162]

Super fun idea! I love hearing about the other contenders, too.

[@crystalhamel5399]

Take a trip to Venice Beach south of you in Florida and find your own shark teeth. So much fun

[@holly9197]

This was fun, but definitely would love to hear your top five or ten of each park at the end of each video

[@PrincessMeggala0913]

Also discovery island would be hard during Christmas cuz ADORABLE PUPPETSSSSS

[@bellacarow3605]

Please, dinosaurs is my favorite og ride too, but when i took my 6yo son to it, even tho he did ride everest and loved it, he just sat there on the car quietly and blacked out. His head was literally lolling side to side and i kept calling him, he would open his eyes, look at me, see a dinosaur, smile and faint again. So yeah, take the warnings into consideration, even when the little one are super into rad rides.

[@Mammoth_Club]

😬

[@lawrencewing5600]

Good morning. I have one night stay at DVC AKL 1br savanna view and the following day BLT park view studio late Jan. I am unable to use the stay. If you would like to use the booking free of charge let me know.

[@rebeccakrueger0229]

What color is that lipstick, I love it!

[@shelleyrudyk4912]

I saw Way of Water and I did not enjoy it, personally. It did not need to be 3h 12m long. If you've seen the first movie, then you've basically seen the second one, but with water.

[@debbietummel5732]

I'd like to see your favorite things to do on a Disney cruise

[@troublewithtriton8529]

Sorry Molly I don’t agree, I didn’t like the cheeseburger pods, it was upsetting me how much I didn’t like them after you hyped them up for me for a year before my trip. I loved flight of passage, it was so overwhelmingly beautiful the sights the sounds the smells and everything you can’t describe. It made my cry with happy emotion my first time riding it and the second because I may never get to ride it again or if I do who knows when.

[@Mammoth_Club]

I’m glad you enjoyed flight of passage! And it’s ok - to each their own with food.🤗

[@carleighharrison4007]

Do you get in the parks for free?? I have always wondered!!

[@lynns3868]

I love all Mammoth Club videos, but especially like this one for giving a PSA about not bothering the animals. I work at a conservation place and we have to tell guests this constantly. Too many don't know. Thank you!

[@GLJosh]

Agreed, we were in the petting area and most if the animals were sleeping. A few people still wanted to pet them the CM had to keep telling them "would you want someone to pet you while you are sleeping?"

[@Ali_OT7]

Our local zoo has had enough and finally put signs up with a phone number that one can call for a zookeeper if a guest is bothering the animals. We go every week and thankfully we've never needed to use it but after years of watching people aggravate the animals I'm really glad it's there.

[@Alicia19652]

I would love to see Alan and Max both do this! Would be interesting to see if you all have the same favorites for everything or not.

[@PrincessMeggala0913]

I was going to say this too! Love to see the boys’ favs too!

[@bethsanborn79]

My favorite part of this whole video was Molly circling places on the map with a tube of liquid lipstick 🤣

[@rachelaldridge8495]

Came here to say the same!! Haha. I laughed out loud!

[@AG-is8rk]

Yup she forgot to bring a marker so she reached into her purse! Love the resourcefulness!

[@munchichi02]

I’m bored so I started watching 80% of the Disney/Universal/Orlando reactors. I judged on the criteria of Personality, excitement level (for what the are doing), knowledge and critiques. Mammoth Club is the best of all. You have all the criteria hands down. Especially personality and enthusiasm. And who seems to know more about the parks than Molly.

[@brandonvieira8114]

I tried cheeseburger pods on my recent trip based on your recommendation and confirm they are very yummy. Also look forward to Mollys Least Favourite Things video where you just say Kali River Rapids and then leave 😂

[@ladonnaburk4020]

I dream of riding a rollercoaster and hear Molly laughing! It would make my day.

[@penelopedeotte6127]

If I ever saw Molly at Disney, I would freak out!

[@AG-is8rk]

I would be star struck!

[@cjfilmlover]

Happy New Year, Molly! Love the video drops this week. Any interest in some, all, or one of the following topics for future videos? -New Perfect Day videos for 4 parks (with Genie+ changes and new rides - it’s been almost a year since your old ones) -Extended Evening Hours tips and tricks -FANTASMIC seating comparisons (dining package vs standby) Thanks so much for considering!!

[@JustinDoesDisney]

My Oasis pick = DiVine. SO good to have her back!! 😁

[@MattBaileyPlaystheSlots]

Rainforest Cafe lost to an anteater...I bet there are some emergency corporate meetings going on back at HQ over that one.

[@envyvine]

Yayyy!!!! I love Molly’s animal kingdom videos!!!

[@ellene4833]

Festival of the Lion King is hands-down my favorite live performance in all four parks, and definitely my favorite thing in AK. When we took our kids to see it for the first time, we sat in the front row as my son has some cognitive disabilities and was in a wheelchair. During the part of the show when the kids were selected to participate, my daughter got to join the parade. But one of the tumble monkeys came over to crouch next to my son and gave him a maraca to shake along with the music. He helped my son keep the beat, and the way that he was involved in the show even though he couldn't join the parade absolutely melted my heart. I'm a sap who cries at beautiful music as it is, but let me tell you, I was a weepy mess for the rest of that show. I really wish I could thank that tumble monkey for what he did that day for my son.

[@chriscanoga]

DEFINITELY go see Way of Water! While it is a continuation of the original story it is very much so it's own new story as well. And everything is just visually stunning! Just do it already.

[@lovestodive1879]

O.K. I have officially watched way more of Molly's videos then I should have because I picked everything you did for your favorites before you said them. For me it would have been a little different. I agree with the anteater and OMG I've never seen it out walking around, how lucky was that? I agree with Dinosaur and please Disney, don't take it away. I'm also torn between Nomad and the trail around the Tree and thankfully, don't have to choose. Now Asia is where we differ. I'm not a huge EE fan, it gives me a headache so the Jungle Trek is going to win for me. Nemo is a close second, I love that show and usually go to it at least twice per trip. Africa is hard. Way too much to see and do there, can't go wrong with some tumble monkeys but then again, would I choose them over real monkeys or gorillas or real lions? Hmmm, hard one. Thankfully, again, I don't have to choose. Pandora, easy for me. I'm not a fan of FoP, not a fan of Satu'li (I know evidently I'm one of the few who isn't) so Navi for me, I actually love that ride. Usually every trip I spend at least part of a day at AK not riding any rides, just walking all the many trails, watching shows, shopping and just enjoying the animals and beauty of that park. I love talking to the CMs on the trails, they really love those animals and know all the little quirks to all of them.

[@whit-ness]

I know I've watched a lot of Mammoth Club because I was able to correctly predict all of Molly's choices.

[@ashisshort]

The little kid shouting “this is sooo fuuun” on dinosaur just made my day!!!!

[@lampwick-lounge]

Happy New Year Mammoth Club! 🎉

[@FamilyGal]

This is a great idea for a series! And of course Mollie has it crammed with useful information, because.... Mollie. Please do this for all of the parks (including Universal).

[@kristenkrzepek3577]

Thank you for the new series Mam Fam! Great idea ❤️. As someone who loves all the details that make Disney magical, this is right up my alley. Happy new year Molly, Alan and Max! Love you guys and can’t wait to see more videos! P.S. Max, my husband gave me a Mr. Toads Wild Ride shirt for Christmas. I thought you would appreciate that! 😊

[@maizydaizy22]

Molly, thank you for loving Animal Kingdom so much!🥰 it’s my favorite park😊

[@rachelaldridge8495]

Mine too!!

[@knikkisunshine]

Omg I rode Everest and went to Animal Kingdom for the first time in my life two weeks ago and it was life changing and I’m not being dramatic! I’m a Universal person and it had me rethinking my life 😂😂😂

[@Daffodils2Daisies]

Why did they cancel kitetails?

[@BNWrootbeer]

For whatever reason I had odd deja vu for this video but then I remembered that I watched Molly cover this video on Instagram 🤣

[@kitter381]

Its worth reading Indigenous perspectives on Way of Water. Everyone obviously gets to make their own calls and no judgement to anyone who sees it. That said, I'm going to opt out of watching it.

[@sodahunter8413]

This video throws way too much shade on tough to be a bug and Nemo. I guess to me they’re the underrated attractions.

[@livingthedream546]

Thank you for your thoughtful courtesy PSAs!! They have all been spot on. Please keep them coming! Hopefully some of these people will learn how to behave in the parks/public.

[@prettiestpigeon]

I tried to guess what Molly would pick & that was a fun game for me. Coffee by the tree & Dinosaur were my correct guesses because I couldn’t remember what else was in Animal Kingdom off the top of my head, but I could remember Molly’s secret coffee spot. I hope Molly does this for Universal too!

[@jessicalyn84]

I can’t wait for the Epcot video!! I go in the middle of January so I’m hoping it comes out in time so I can make notes!!

[@briannetroyer4931]

Do I need this jacket? 🤔

[@Daffodils2Daisies]

Molly, I'd take just an annual Disney pass instead of a car. Might save a little money LOL! Also Id much rather watch your videos than Oprah!

[@nadinedemarco]

OMG where did you get that jacket?!

[@nadinedemarco]

I’ve been obsessed with finding that jacket (thought it had dinosaurs on it, so tracking it down took a while 😂). Finally spotted it on ShopDisney. It’s the Black Panther: Wakanda Forever Bomber Jacket for Adults. And it’s reversible with a different print! Can’t wait to see it in person bc it looks gorgeous on camera.

[@belindacarr7702]

Nomad lounge! I don't get to eat most of the delicious stuff due to my celiacs but the fact that they do the most amazing gluten free churros make this my guaranteed favourite

[@NormFoss]

Great series idea, we need an "Alan's Favorite Things" series too.

[@gertyglockenschpitle7711]

Can't wait to see your favorites at Magic Kingdom and EPCOT! Love your videos!!

[@sashapriest3838]

I enjoyed the festival of the lion king but you ought to see the Disneyland Paris Lion King show which is a very different show and in my opinion everything is better in the Paris one. The Paris version has more of an African feel and their costumes, harmonies, live drumming and choreography is superior in my opinion.

[@NortherlyK]

The discovery island pick was a bit of a shocker, but understandable. Next park: Hollywood Studios?

[@marimilholo]

The way Molly talks about Festival of the Lion King… I relate to it so much, it’s always my favorite thing to do at animal kingdom, it makes me cry every time 💚

[@wdwexploreandchill]

Yay, my favorite park! 💚🖤Mam Fam!🖤💚

[@BayinTN]

ROFL -- I was so excited to see the new theme, and then I spied my son, a custodial CM, passing Molly on the path in the Oasis. Doubly awesome! Back to making lists.... 😁

[@melekahalepuna913]

Haven't been on KZbin in a while and I'm so happy I found you!!! Telling all my family and friends! Oh...you MUST see Avatar: The Way of Water!!!

[@Mammoth_Club]

Welcome!!

[@ryanjc4]

New goal for 2023: buy an Ant Eater and teach them to do a back flip.

[@jklmelissa187]

(I guessed right 🙌 ) 2023 trip goal: secret spot by tree of life.

[@haleyross3846]

Love this new series and thrilled that you started with my favorite park. And I loved the new Avatar movie. It was stunning. And knowing bits of trivia from the movie, such as the fact that Kate Winslet did all of her own underwater stunts herself, makes the movie more impressive. (Fun fact: Kate Winslet trained to hold her breath for over 7 minutes!)

[@day1mediapros]

The Way of Water, much like Disney, is an experience - which makes the 3+ hrs seem like you’re in a story not a movie. I personally think it was well worth seeing and ties everything so far together wonderfully.

[@disneynutd1609]

Molly mine areee Safaris first thing then flight of passage ending the day with Nomad lounge to top off the evening 💐

[@kimymarie596]

A lot of vlogs shade Rainforest Cafe, but for a family of 4, looking for a sit down meal, it’s actually a pretty good value for on property. I wish I hadn’t avoided it for so long cause vloggers didn’t recommend it.

[@laurafewell2301]

Up early getting ready for our trip on Sunday and our 1st park is Animal Kingdom! So many good ideas from this video combined with all the loads of previous tips and tricks & I am set! Thank you for all you do for us Molly! Happy New Year to everyone !!!!

[@johnyesberg3602]

Hi Molly, you and the team are doing a funtastic job . Thought on a Vlog - Epcot World Showcase Pavilions . . A highlights off what every pavilion has to offer . Something to entice us to venture into the pavilion instead off just walking round the lagoon . Thanks John ( coming up in July from Australia)

[@gr8vbplaya18]

We all know Molly is going to choose Kali River Rapids....

[@kayak7772]

I hope you went back and bought the shark fossil set.

[@Bluejay1999ad]

Very nice

[@NOLAROCKS92]

Avatar The Way of Water is an amazing movie!!!! Well worth the 3 hour watch. I cried!!!

[@amandachaves9527]

I caught up on all the MC videos last night and woke up laughing thinking about the Dr. Strange show reaction that ya'll had when you were at DCA last month...oh boy, that show is something lmao

I love flight of Passage!! I’m excited to visit AK in March🎉. I love you videos!!

[@cherylknighten1797]

Avatar 2 3D Is out this world 🌎

[@richardamoss5904]

Live for Molly's PSAs! We never really loved Ak until we became AP holders and we could enjoy the hidden gems which often get over-looked as a singe ticket holder. On our first AP visit, we did the Wilderness Explorers adventure and spent very little time doing what we typically do and did lots of things we had never done.

[@mini_mew775]

Favorite thing about animal kingdom:: DUCKS!!! I LOVE THE DUCKS!! SO CUTE!! THOSE WADDLE BUTTS

[@STEPS-THRU-MOUNTAINS]

I absolutely love this idea, thanks Molly. Speaking of new ideas, have you ever done a Video for guest with disabilities or mobility challenges? I’ve gone to Disneys web site, Its called DAS. You need to register 2-30 days before your trip, and attend a live chat? I will throughly investigate this before my trip to Walt Disney World on 1/22/2023-1/29/2023 with my adult daughter for the first time. 🎉I just thought this could be a great topic for a Future video. You make learning about the Disney parks so much fun! Also, I couldn’t help but cry with you after seeing the Lion King show🥲

[@soojkim4857]

Ugh I wish they could make cheeseburger pods with impossible meat! I’m having major FOMO

[@amysears1829]

I love AK!! My favorite park! I love seeing what you choose as your favorites..I hope you ended up with the shark teeth, haha.

[@Onniesprairiegarden]

Yes!!!! You may have seen it already but we loved Way of Water! I loved it the same as I loved the first one! My son liked this one better! 💙 🩵💙 I had a very emotional experience for very personal reasons. James Cameron gutted me!

[@yourgurlLivy]

This is great!! So glad I found your page

[@morganmarvinney7799]

Watching this now, after all of the announcements around Dinoland... Molly being in denial about Dinosaur eventually going away really hits different LOL

[@RickiMinaj23]

Gah!!!! I underestimated your love for The Lion King. I had those pinned as what you would've chosen but I said Kilimanjaro Safari ONLY because I remember you saying if there was 1 ride you would ride that one over and over. And i didn't think of your hideaway being a "spot" and chose Nomad Lounge. Haha but a fun game I played!

[@rosiecarrot4269]

Molly stared crying, then I started crying 😂it’s the circle of cryyyyyy

[@Sam4G0d]

This was such a fun AND useful video, Molly! :)

[@lpcherry2324]

I love you Molly, but I just don’t get the Dinosaur ride. We’re California people and finally went to Disney World while Disneyland was closed. When riding Dinosaur, I just missed Indiana Jones so bad…that I hated the ride. Expedition Everest, on the other hand, is the best ride I’ve ever been on. Wish it was at Disneyland. 😘

[@lonewolf0927]

Is it possible to watch too many videos of a person? If so, I think I've reached that point with Molly. I knew every pick including the burger pods over Flight and Festival of the the Lionking in Africa. I guess there's worse things I could be doing. Keep up the good and entertaining work.

[@kitsunemetal]

I love doing Avatar flight of Passage, Tusker house for breakfast and walking through the nature trails and i know dinosaur is a little rough but it's so much fun.

[@laurencass6449]

[@holliekeohane7939]

My daughter is almost 15. She has seen The Way of Water 4x. She makes up Trivia questions and between her Dad and I whoever loses has to take her again. I’m up so it will be my 3rd time!

[@gooberjunebug53]

My fiancé proposed to me on that hidden trail next to the tree of life. We discovered it because of all your windows. Truly a beautiful proposal, thanks to you for sharing :)

[@JenniRae1125]

[@alexwallace895]

Thanks for another great video! Happy New Year!

[@allisonreimers9411]

Molly I know you love Dinosaur but just a warning for taller riders, my husband is 6'3" he barely fit in the car and when he got off he had bruises on his knees.

[@wendyward4227]

Two of my favorite experiences ever were at AK and were not a theme park ride - one was a starlight safari - a giraffe basically tried to put it ahead into our safari vehicle!! - the other was the backstage with rhino experience where we learned all about rhinos, got up close to a rhino and even got to pet him. Amazing 😊

[@victoriamahon3765]

My thing with flight of passage, why haven’t they retrofit it it was one section of normal seating similar to soarin? They know that there’s a large portion of their guess they can’t physically ride that and it’s disappointing that were this far into it and they still haven’t made an accessible option on that ride. They even made an accessible car on Tron so there’s no reason they couldn’t have done the same for flight of passage and it’s very disappointing. I can fit on the cars but I have trouble with my leg muscles and being strapped in from behind like that so I am unable to ride and I am a huge avatar fan I wish they would come up with a solution like they did on Tron.
