Best Molly moments we can always count on: 1. Adorable interactions with characters. 2. Getting teary-eyed at the little moments (shows, performances) 3. Giving zero F’s when enjoying a messy snack. 😆🤗💕

It was so great to be able to be your safari guide, and be able to show you the hyenas! 🥰

[@Mammoth_Club]

Yay Bella!!! I’m so glad you’re here! Thanks for the wonderful safari!!

[@davidwilliams377]

How did you do it? I’ve been trying to get that job and have spiel experience with animals from volunteering at my city zoo during all of my high school years but don’t know what title to apply under since there’s no safari driver application.

[@robinknabel877]

So excited to see this - your safari guide Bella is my daughter!! We have been enjoying your videos for a LONG time, so this was such a treat for her (and us)! Also - yes Galaxy Quest!!!!!!!

[@katieblair3027]

That is so awesome! My son is also a safari guide. He loves it!

[@stephgilliam]

I've said this before, but turning me on to the kid's meal hack has been life changing. Saving money AND not being stuffed with heavy food while walking around in 100+ degree Florida weather? Win-win.

[@wernwerks819]

The vibe from the video is a direction I love. Not worrying about efficiency of time and more about having an enjoyable time. Talking about stopping for the live entertainment and the value of it, along with quick simple food coverage does it for sure

[@kates7277]

Love the perfect afternoons! And now that the daylight is fading earlier, it’d be fun to see a “Disney Parks After Dark” series.

[@daa589]

I'd like to see a "Griswold" park video, getting there late, no genie +, and limited budget because kronk ate a wallet lol

[@designdoctor247]

[@charlespoindexter4193]

Molly, you add even more magic to Disney. You're the cherry on top of the Disney Sundae. Another great video. Thanks for all you do. Keep up the good work.

[@irishgirl4977]

I love the Cast Compliment in the App! This is the best thing to happen especially when you interact with a wonderful CM! They deserve to know they are appreciated!

[@solmaniera5951]

teared up a little when you talked about the little moments you remember with family and friends... I have the fondest memories with my dad at the old Animal Kingdom parade, he passed 2 months ago but that picture of us with safari hats and my face painted is framed in my room and always makes me think of my best memories with him...at the end of the day youre right, thats all that matters

[@Casper7762]

See Ms. Molly, you’re at 114k in subscribers and we told you we loved you with all your old videos and then we told you again with your own channel and we promised to follow you. I told you this family would follow you anywhere you decided to go and we have kept passing your information on to others that we know. I will continue to do so and look forward to another 25-30 more years with you if not longer. Bless you and your hubby and anyone else who may join your team. We send millions upon millions of Warm Hugs and Lovings out to you. You’re so special and such an Angel too.

[@343Simone]

I used to think it was a little silly when you said you got teary eyed at the Festival of the Lion King… Surely it couldn’t be THAT magical! Every time??? Then I went a few weeks ago and was fighting back the tears myself. I get it now.

[@daa589]

Idk how much I have in common with Molly but spilling food on ourselves and eating messy is one them 😂

[@melanieshipley3133]

I have two toddlers and a baby and I am a messier eater than them all!

[@iliherr1417]

I always appreciate how emotional Molly gets when talking about live performers in the park. Not only do they deserve the love after a hard couple of years, but it's truly where the magic happen. I get teary every time I watch Festival of the Lion King, bc after our first trip, my dad would not stop raving about it. He still lights up like a little kid when he talks about it. It's his favorite performance in the parks, and every time I see it, I think of him

[@k4hdr5]

Highly recommend walking the path behind the Tree. It connects across and is not crowded. MDE directions will never direct you there and even the map it gives you makes you think the path does not go all the way across.

[@yaffarealbeauty6089]

I never understood why people visited the Affection Section. But then I did and it’s now one of my favorite things. Who knew petting a farm animal makes the world right again? Loved this video! Fun to luxuriate. Galaxy Quest is hilarious!

[@michellebrill5328]

I absolutely love watching your character interactions. Between watching you and JoJo it has become more natural to talk to our favorite Disney friends.

[@bradkomgenick]

I love to see Molly showing that you do not have to rope drop the parks every single day in order to feel like you've had a full and fun day. This was the perfect example of how you can still do so much and sleep in and have a wonderful leasurely breakfast at your favorite breakfast spot. Also, I clipped out Mollys patented "coaster yell/giggle" from Everest and just made it my ringtone!!! Great job as usual Molly!! Love the Mammoth Club!

[@bsr6823]

This is EXACTLY how we go on holiday at WDW. It is so relaxing and we get to see everything we want when we want. Caitlin and I want to say thank you Molly!!! We learned it from you.

[@mindyussery5517]

My first cast compliment in the app was my safari guide last month. They are always great, but I learned a ton of new stuff with him!

[@lindseysellers4423]

Love the foreshadowing of the next stream plans my day. Also, my son, who is 9 was taught the macarena at school last year and I'm slightly shocked it's survived 30 years. The best part is he acted like it was some new thing. I should have embarrassed him by doing it with him at the bus stop, but I didn't take that opportunity.

[@katieslade8027]

When Molly was eating her cheeseburger pods, I heard a chair scrape against the floor, and then I heard my brother say my name, so I didn’t know it until now, but I was there when Molly was filming! I love you so much Molly! You have really helped with my trips to Disney, and I hope I get to say hi to you when I go back! ❤️

[@bmargo18]

The reason I LOVE Pandora is because it fits everything that Animal Kingdom SHOULD stand for. I think it's beautiful. Looking forward to going to AK alone without my family to truly take it all in. I haven't been at night yet either! Also Molly, you have taught me how to properly interact with characters and ask them questions that they can gesture out, so THANK YOU for that because my kids (and everyone around us) get such a kick out of it.

[@sunnyd663]

This park makes my heart so happy❤. There is always something fun, yummy, and exciting on every turn. I can spend days here and not visit another park and be content. I have a core memory with my late Grandmother dancing her little heart out in Epcot on NYE at one of the dance parties in one of the countries. I’ll never forget it ❤

[@deannalasker3885]

Ok so I had the idea that y’all should recreate Disney promo videos like Stacy doing the must-dos (I could hear her say “there doesn’t seem to be any track” when you were on Everest.😂) Even go back to the 2005 era one with Erin, Luke, the mom-Stacy, and Dave who was always looking for a bench and had the same BG music as a commercial for some viagra med at the time. My husband and I would always have a “that’s what she said” moment with his line on Magic Carpets of Aladdin because his face when he delivered that line said it, too. Just an idea. Love your content!❤

[@NFossmeyer]

Animal Kingdom is so underrated. I love that park. Great advice to stop & enjoy your surroundings once in a while.

[@LeFanGirl22]

My kinda day! I have to use DAS in the parks or I'd get almost nothing done, but I always take it leisurely and just enjoy the vibes and energy of being there. Thanks so much for your videos!

[@nightshift70]

Galaxy Quest is one of my all time favorite movies 😊 So funny 😂

[@jenniferlee2498]

Galaxy Quest....YES!!!! Alan Rickman, Sam Rockwell, Tony Shalhoub, Sigourney Weaver, BUZZ!!! Like, how can you go wrong with this movie....one of our favorites!!! And we really need to go to Animal Kingdom. We have never been but it always looks AMAZING in your videos!!!

[@lovestodive1879]

Well, I'm certainly relaxed now. I'll say AK is probably the best park for just relaxing and taking it easy. I once went and decided I didn't want to ride any rides except Safari. So I did Safari, FoTLK, the bird show, watched the kites, Nemo, walked both trails, walked all the way around ToL, watched the short bird show they do at the front of the park, stopped and looked at all the little side enclosures with animals, went to Nomad Lounge and did Bugs Life and, of course, went into shops. Such a relaxing time.

[@deechica13]

Thank you for doing this! I love your creative freedom and you seem so much happier! I do love going to Animal Kingdom in the afternoon!

[@carolineandrews200]

I’m so glad you did this video! We go next month and plan on a relaxing day at Animal Kingdom!

Thank you Molly for all your amazing Disney knowledge and fun facts! My daughter and I love all your videos!! ❤️

[@dorothymartin6844]

Love the kids meal idea! I'd love to see a video (or series) on money saving tips on the park, like best practices I'd you're not getting genie+, inexpensive souvenirs, best shareable meals, etc. Let's see some money management magic!

Yay another video!! Thanks for the tips Molly 🎉

[@missygrafe8642]

I grew up watching old school Star Trek with my grandfather and then Next Generation, so Galaxy Quest is one of my favorite movies! It's so funny.

Hi Molly. My son, wife and I love your videos. We are from Australia. We have been watching your vlogs for the last few years preparing for our first trip to Disney World. It was nice to actually see you in the park on the day when you were filming eating the tacos. Sorry for yelling out and interrupting, but I'm glad we did and got your attention. 🙂 It was a thrill to actually see you.

Another great video! My intro to Sigourney Weaver was "Working Girl"...lol. I loove, love, LOVE Galaxy Quest, though! "I have one job to do! It's stupid, but I do it. Okay?" 😂🤣

[@sehyrman]

Some of my favorite Disney days are the ones when I sleep in, slowly get to the park, and meander around like I had my entire life to enjoy one day. I love that you are doing videos to show that YES you can have a great day in the park without being there all day (and you won't be exhausted and irritable by the end of the day). And yes, Galaxy Quest is great, Alien Dwight Schrute is in that movie too.

[@joyfulmommy5]

Love this! I’d also love to see videos with tips on how to get the most out of park days if you’re staying off property and not buying Genie+. With our big family, that would be VERY useful information! Thank you! Your videos helped us create a wonderful Disney trip in 2021, and I know they will help with any future trips we can manage to take:)

[@annhall2331]

Glued to your videos preparing for my trip in 6 weeks and 6 days woooo hooo x

[@anthonycata9419]

So idk if its been mentioned at all but little fun Fact , the actress who plays Dr. Ogden Allison Blanchard, actually does some voice acting in the parks( Dr. Nigel Channings secretary in figment , as well as small voices on mission space & star tours ) also the Jackie Ogden in real life is the Vice President of Animals, Science and Environment at Disney’s Animal Kingdom, Sigorney Weavers character in avatar is Dr. Grace Augustine. I hadn't seen the movie prior to going on the ride, watched it after & last time I went on it had the same reaction as Molly . Keep up the great work Mammoth Club!

[@MTforSpurs]

funny story, our first watch of Galaxy Quest was at a condo in Orlando on vacation. My husband and youngest son have watched it at least 50 times in the last 20 years. I don't quite get the fascination but I love that they love it, and it always takes me back to the vacation. We had just spent a week going hard in Disney so it was a great rest day. Thank you for all the wonderful videos! You help us vacation plan and you bring us Disney and Universal magic as we only go every 5 years or so.

I did go to Molly’s favorite place to gaze at the Tree of Life and it was stunning! Molly you ROCK; thank you for the help to make our trip AWESOME!

So happy the music is back at AK! We love the rides, but our memories with our kids are those fun moments or even just a silly conversation sitting on a bench for a few minutes.

[@brclyn]

I'm enjoying these relaxed days videos. Going to the parks I know it's going to be hectic,but hearing you say priorities is the thing im hoping to do. Our huge bonus is that neither of us are big ride riders.The boat and train type will be mostly okay.

In 46 days we will be in AK for my son’s 13th birthday. It’s his favorite park so he gets to choose everything we do. We will be there for early access hours as that’s what he wants LOL

When I was there in August, I took Molly’s advice and got the kids’ meals a couple of times. I got the kids’ chicken tenders at Good’s Food to Go at Old Key West and the kids’ chicken tip yip at Docking Bay 7. Both were enough for me.

I think Dinosaur is my favorite ride. It's a combination of overall fun and nostalgia for me. Growing up, my two favs were this and Test Track, and the original Test Track doesn't exist anymore. I just love how cheesy Dinosaur is, it touches my heart in all the right places. I really hope the rumors aren't true about Dinoland, but if they are, at least I can still enjoy this while it's here.
