The BEST 3 Hours In Disney World: Animal Kingdom

[@sg.prophitt]

Hi this is Safari guide SaraGrace!! Thank you so much for the cast compliment :)) LOVE THIS! #gobarbie

[@Summertimetraveling]

War Eagle!! 💙

[@The_Alexandra_B]

Nothing sums up working with the public like the lady who thought Disney could bring back the dinosaurs. 😂

[@luzmuralles4949]

😂😂😂😂😂

[@alliepie89]

I know there are no stupid questions and I love that lady’s faith in Disney, but that was stupid .

[@lyssar28]

Please share more stories from your time as a cast member! That lady believing Disney could bring back dinosaurs is funny but I'm sure disney could do it too😂

[@kates7277]

Julie Andrews in DAK be like: 🎼 Handpies and street corn and Dino Bite’s ice creams, Yeti, Safaris, and Banshees on sunbeams. Tree of Life dazzles; Tumble Monkeys have wings. These are a few of my favourite things! 🎶

[@alexandriafrancois]

Love that my brain read this as her singing it

[@TheGoofy1932]

My brain did the same thing. 😂 I wonder if this is one of the side effects of being a Disney Adult.

[@juliebuchheit7015]

I love how genuine Molly is. I’m so happy to be able to support her doing what she loves. ❤

[@tlcholistic]

100%! Molly is one of a kind and that’s why we love her so much!

[@lydscl]

Dino Chip and Dale are the absolute cutest character interaction. We loved the dance party pre-2020 so I'm so so happy that they're back for an actual meet and greet. Hilarious and so stinking cute.

[@JustinDoesDisney]

Molly, if I didn't know better I would have thought this was a "Favorite Things" video. 😁 Thanks for taking us with you!

[@Livinginlimbo-b4r]

I’d love to see a video about why Disney is so much more than a theme park. How it’s immersive and that you get so much more than just rides. The performers, the parades, the fireworks, the projections, the characters, the DETAILS. It’s not just a restroom sign that says “ladies”, it’s Elsa. It’s a restaurant that has a phone on the wall where, if you pick it up, there is a recording to listen to. Also, you don’t have to spend anymore than just the ticket price. I believe you can bring your own food and no one is making you buy a souvenir. What other parks have the amount of staff who are informative and friendly? Where else can you get a whole day of wonderment for the price of their tickets? You don’t even have to get a hotel in the park. I’d love a video from you that I can point someone to next time they say that Disney is sooo expensive.

“£+¥_= ]’” ‘]{{}’}\

[@aliciaharris4721]

5:58 There is an easier way: go to the app and click the map/pin button next to the home button instead of searching. Then click the drop down menu next to wait times and filter the park there. That way you see what characters are out and (even better) where they are if you desperately need a map to function like me 😅

[@amykathleen2005]

Just came to say that

[@paigeywaigey96]

This is what I prefer, too! Good advice.

[@cindyfan91]

Now let’s see how much can be done at the other 3 parks in the last 3-4 hours! This is great for an arrival day! Now I’m thinking for my arrival day, to hit AK first till 7, then hop to Epcot for the fireworks. 👍😉

[@MicheleKlinger]

There’s nothing like luxuriating in Animal Kingdom

[@hairdresser1300]

My favorite

[@PoppaSquat-et3qp]

The theming is the best in the world right after Tokyo Disney Sea

[@jb7692]

We’d love to see a “best of” Old Fashioneds around the properties!

[@firefly314]

The last time I went to Disney World was 1996 and AK wasn’t there SO I’m going in Feb 2024 and cannot wait to enjoy it. As always, I love the tips to help plan my future trip! 💜

[@loriwilliams8057]

Going back in October & have to stop & get a ice cream sandwich!!!

[@to4196]

My sister and I went to Animal Kingdom in 2020. No chipmunkasaurus. Came back in 2022. We ran like 5 year olds to see them and it was worth it!❤

[@heavenlylight317]

I love them in them so much in their outfits

[@katcalico9142]

I just want to enjoy the atmosphere, walk around, chill, maybe grab a drink, check out random entertainment, maybe grab another drink and a snack. 🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️

[@therealtylermartin]

Chipmunkasaurus are the best characters on property! 💜💚💙

[@chantelletonellato]

OMG! Thank you for showing the Chipminkosauraus meet and greet. I stumbled upon it by accident and it wins as my fav meet and greet ever!

[@kaylingentry4484]

Idea for a video. See how many different Mickey and/or Minnie outfits you can see in one day. I also fully support your seeing how many characters you can meet video idea. I used to do that on my CP

[@LilaKirby]

Since I am German and live in Germany I don’t get to enjoy the parks really often. More like every couple of years if I’m lucky. Animal Kingdom has always been my favorite park of them all with my favorite attraction (Everest). I am so happy that channels like this exist so I can enjoy Disney World from my home. Molly has become such a feel good KZbinr for me ❤ I am truly grateful for this content

[@beckyj1493]

I so agree with you about the Banshe thing and what is happening to the Avatar when you're not hooked up to the it. The mental gymnastics we do are unappreciated. I thought about this opening day. Thank you for making me laugh! Once again, you prove you're the best. Excellent vlog! Thank you.

[@patneverisky459]

I love Chip and Dale, it’s on the list for my next visit in October. Molly, thank you for all you do❤!

[@amysinclair4901]

How cute are Chip & Dale as dinosaurs?! 😍 Yay to new videos! I only discovered you a few months ago, after seeing Mammoth Club being recommended in a Facebook group, and I’m hooked! 🙈 I’ve been back through and pretty much watch all of the Mammoth Club videos now.

[@SimplelilSteph]

I laughed so hard out loud at the body link part with the avatar just hanging limply on the back of the banshee lol my cat ran up to me very concerned for my well being

[@shawniejansen6881]

Love this video! Can you also show how to luxuriate at the magic kingdom since that is a busy park?

[@laurad7439]

This, is a great tip, Molly! We are a family of 4 with a son who uses a manual wheelchair due to cerebral palsy. He is not a rollercoaster ride person, obviously prefers the slower rides. Definitely will add the park hopper to do the rides so we don't have to wait. We are coming in March 2024. Thanks so much! You gave so many tips for the My Disney Experience App -- I had no idea what is involved in utilizing that.

[@kassinwonderland22]

Look into getting a disability pass as well. It will help you get front of line access so you won't have to wait in line. Either call disney before your trip or go to guest services

[@Jamoflamo]

Get DAS pass. Go to guest services when you arrive, it’s basically a free fast pass for guests with disabilities. You won’t have to wait in line at all

[@kat-napzzz]

The DAS pass is wonderful. I used it on my last trip as I’m disabled. It also was helpful bc cast members would ask if you need accommodations for certain rides. Like some rides you can ride the wheelchair right on. There’s also special parade and fireworks viewing if needed. You can do an online zoom with Disney before you leave to get the pass. They’ll just ask you about how the disability prevents you from waiting in line. Highly recommend it!

[@ellene4833]

Another voice chiming in to get the DAS for your son if possible. A few years ago people were abusing the system, so they're cracking down by requiring an advance online video chat with the person needing the DAS to ensure there are no shenanigans. (You can get a DAS issued at Guest Services on your first day, but doing the advance online video allows you two pre-issued return times-like how you used to be able to select FastPasses-before you arrive.) The DAS will work for up to 6 people in your party, and it basically puts you in the Lightning Lane queue for any show or attraction with a posted wait time, save for virtual queues and Fancy Rides. We've used DAS several times for my son and it's an absolute game-changer, as we can sit quietly somewhere instead of being corralled in a 60-plus-minute queue. Highly recommended for families or people with additional needs.

[@MaggieLong-n2k]

I’ve been binge watching your videos and I love them so much. You asked for what videos we’d like to see and I’d vote for more merch videos going into theme park merch shops. Definitely would like more ‘winner pays’ merch shopping spree vids. Also just in general anything Harry Potter. Did you ever do a video ranking the Harry Potter candy? You said that you planned to, but I don’t think you ever did. Have you ever considered coming to the UK to do the Harry Potter studio tour? It’s amazing. You could also go to the Harry Potter shop at Kings Cross station and visit some of the places that scenes in Harry Potter were filmed such as New College in Oxford University which has the tree that Draco Malfoy was sitting in when he ate that apple. I get that you probably aren’t going to come here just for Harry Potter! Or visiting Disneyland Paris?

[@danaolsen9802]

I always had Animal Kingdom as my absolute favorite park, and it is so underrated. Thank you Molly for giving it so much love in your videos!

[@dreamocracy3]

"if anyone could bring Dinosaurs back it would be Disney" 😆 She might be overestimating the Disney magic lol I love these kinds of videos, Molly! I can't wait to luxuriate at Animal Kingdom 😌

[@hairdresser1300]

WoW someone is listening to those of us that are hating on the idea of Genie Plus. Also,thank you for you

[@sheaross7574]

What day of the week was this? We are going on a Saturday afternoon so I’m curious if it’ll be worse. I know typically Saturdays are busy at AK.

[@amysears1829]

Animal Kingdom is my favorite park too!!!

[@InfectiousGroovePodcast]

The first 10 seconds of this video is EXACTLY what many of us want / need from Disney. Thank you for this video!

[@blugreen123]

I was just thinking that I'd like you to do a video like this! You read my mind. Lol

[@disneynutd1609]

Love Animal Kingdom but usually go in the morning. I will try late afternoon next time ..thanks Molly 💐

[@themeparkamusement2214]

Molly you are likely the most knowledgeable Disney Vlogger out there. You have come a long way from working on the Magic Kingdom trains. Congratulations on your career success. LOL! Real Dinosaurs! I wish my guest experiences were that entertaining.

[@alexandriafrancois]

I can’t wait I’ll be there in a few days for our yearly anniversary trip, (we honeymooned at Disney), Ty to mammoth club for helping -rep and get my Disney fix till then!

[@sarahjk1]

luxuriating word count = 100 😄

[@PrincessMeggala0913]

Great video as always! I want that ice cream sandwich now......haha

[@kyrabresnahan8215]

I read in a guidebook once that Dinoland has notes scattered around it from the Dino Institute folks, maybe that’s what the Dr. Woo note is?

[@emilyowens6778]

I loved the vibe of this!! I also get excited about low key things at WDW ❤

[@TheGoofy1932]

We love an AK afternoon/evening. It clears way out and starts to cool down (a bit) which is nice since it's Always hotter and more humid 🔥 in this park so it feels like only 10 degrees hotter instead of the usual 50.

[@mollymiller7049]

I’d love to see a video on ranking the queues in each park!!

[@mugglechris]

I live in California so the time change can be a bit much for me. I always hit up the parks in the afternoon so I love these kind of videos. I will stack LL and close out parks. These videos help navigate this and make sleeping in possible and still have a full park day.

[@dankind64]

I haven't done AK at night in a few years. I'll need to give this a try!

[@AmyWhiteman-n6q]

Love watching your videos. Would love to see a video about things to do on the boardwalk. Evening and day time entertainment! X

[@f33rcetv34]

watch there be an increase of people getting in line before the park closes for rides now LOL

[@rhondageddis526]

Was waiting for Mollys laugh. She didn’t let me down.

[@MollyFitzBrown]

Such a fun afternoon! Love the Chipmunk-o-sauruses! I miss Primeval Whirl, cool you worked it!

[@SusanCatherine]

"where they take two freshly baked cookies, SHOVE some ice cream in there" 😂

[@treebarkrations9189]

Tbh I always thought that the avatars are alive and your just like..body snatching or something..

[@tjweddington2311]

Your intro is exactly what I’m doing soon. I cannot wait to go to Animal Kingdom. Never used Genie+ and don’t plan too.

[@jessicagenter519]

Hi Mammoth Club! I love your videos; thank you for making them. It would be great if you could make a “plus size in the theme parks” guide. As a plus sized 5 10”woman and a Harry Potter superfan, I was crushed when I couldn’t do any of the rides there! Same for Avatar Flight of Passage! It would be great to help others avoid the same kind of emotional disappointment. Thank you!

[@emilywills6751]

On Tron, you will likely need to use the standard ride car and not the leaning-forward-motorcycle-like ride car. But you can ride it!

[@there_u_r_perry]

Thank you for bringing the Magic to us!❤

[@maryjesch8841]

I loved this. Could you do laid-back afternoon/evening trips to the other parks? This was so helpful. It reminds me of how we used to do the parks before Genie +. So incredibly enjoyable. Thank you so much, Molly. XO

[@louisebullivant768]

Great tips for a luxuriating & chilled afternoon / evening in the park - will definitely be trying this on our next visit coming up soon. Thank you 🤗 Would love to see your recommendations for similar relaxing afternoons / evening in the other parks whilst still getting to do some must-dos. Thanks again💖

[@ginalola6354]

You did the college program with a good friend of mine. ❤️

[@AbbyElizabeth03]

I’d love to see a video on fun things to do/things really worth the money on a Disney World honeymoon! ❤

[@EricaEverAfter]

Today is August 13th 2023 and I just got that Dr Grant Seeker name is a pun 😂😂🤦🏽‍♀️

[@hollyh357]

Thanks for your tips. I’ve been lucky enough to enjoy Disney Parks several times over the years, but watching your videos I’ve realized that I had missed so many fun gems at the parks and look forward to experiencing them on my next upcoming trip in October. Thank you for all you do!

[@disneyxpotterhead3170]

We need a meeting as many charactets as possible video❤

[@deanmarino6593]

Hi Molly! It would be really cool to see how one can maximize their time in the parks with a parkhopper pass!

[@laurafewell2301]

Love this video. This is my favorite park - even though I have only been to WDW once! Chip & Dale are so adorable! I love that each video you teach us something new! I am now off to ponder on the whole Avatar thing! And a big thank you for all you all do for us!

[@valstier6606]

Husbands favorite park…Animal Kingdom….my favorite (if I have to choose) is Epcot (love the pizza in Italy!), etc. 😊 But really we love em all…..Do ya have a Favorite Pool Day itinerary to share? We always want to schedule a pol day, then we run out of time…..help! Lol.

[@lovestodive1879]

I agree, I love to hop into AK after I've gone back to my room and had a little rest (maybe a nap). I sometimes go the afternoon before my park reservation day and can always get 2 or 3 rides done and a stop at Nomad Lounge. Then the next day on my reservation day, I don't have to get there at rope drop and can just go slow, watch shows, walk the trails and catch the few rides I missed. I've been known to hop into AK 2 or 3 different afternoons during a trip just because it is so relaxing.

[@RebeccaMishik]

Has Mammoth Club done a Rope Drop to park close video? I know other content creators have, but not sure about Mammoth. The Genie ones are helpful to show time savings using that service, but Molly always talks about her ultimate park day using a combination of Genie and Standby. I'd like to see how much she can get done on a realistic park day using that strategy (and maybe a similar day without Genie+). The scenario being: an average family going on vacation for a week might only have 4-5 days in the parks (i.e., one day per park). So how much can you really get done at Magic Kingdom if you only have one day, get Genie+, and go park open to park close?

[@STEPS-THRU-MOUNTAINS]

Hey Molly! I have a question?? have you ever thought about going on one of these National Geographic (very expensive Tours) you are a “clever girl“ and I know that you could figure out a way to have companies pay, and we get to experience through your Chanel what they’re all about?? it’s a win-win as I like to say! Love! how creative your content is getting! Love you how you explain things! Just love you for being you! You mentioned National Geographic in one of your videos I watched, that’s where I got the idea. 😊

[@megdrama1316]

As someone who works at Flight of Passage I can confirm that we also have debates on how the Avatar is on the back of a Banshee when the avatar is not in use 😂

[@flipcoin6301]

A.I.

[@chloefellows1649]

Molly, do you know my cousin Camille??? She works at Disney and said she knows you and Allan from costumer relations! She’ll be walking my fiancé and I in for our honeymoon at the beginning of November!

[@diannesmothers2171]

Oh wow....cant wait for Chip and Dale...now on our must do in December!! And street corn..and frozen nanas...and Kevin..😊

[@ukukatie21]

Epcot is my favorite! I had the absolute pleasure to work there during my college program! ❤

[@pennyhinson4949]

I'LL NEVER use genie+, or the Lightning Lane with its fees. Now I know you cant get in the Ratatouille ride without it, but if disney wants it for that ride, so be it I'll miss riding it then. I did all 4 parks in '21 without Genie+. And yes missed out on the Ratatouille ride cuz of Genie.

[@armita611]

On all of my trips to Disney World, Animal Kingdom is the park I had the most fun in. Like Molly says, it can be a really relaxed vibe if you want it to be. It's the park I always look forward to the most on return trips though Epcot might take that on my next return trip since it's added two rides since I've been there.

[@BBaker-sf9vc]

Great video, love your videos, we are going in Sept. 4 parks, 4 days ...this was very helpful. We are actually doing animal kingdom on arrival day.

[@vvvcfg]

My favorite park. Because, even if you rope drop, by afternoon you can just chill, take it easy and finish the day NOT exhausted.

[@jacitucci]

I just want to say I appreciate you guys not posting your MNSSHP at the same time as every other vlogger. Thanks for always keeping things refreshing and interesting!

[@giabarletta5929]

I’m glad Flight of Passage was being honest with wait times but it is very typical for Disney to lie about a wait time, especially at the end of the night to discourage a line forming when they want to close up. I have experienced this several times. The most recent, Thunder Mountain posted a 35 min wait time when the park was closing in probably half an hour. There was no line that I could see so I went up to the cast member and asked if it was really a 35 min wait. And she said no, it’s a walk on, but don’t tell anyone I told you that. So I know their tricks and I never buy into any of their wait times. I don’t believe they’re as long as they say during the day either bc they want people to buy Genie Plus.

[@bellemoon1008]

Awww! We truly love you too, Molly!! ❤❤❤

[@KatieCoughlan-l2f]

you guys should come to field of screams in Pennsylvania! It’s like Halloween horror nights but scarier

[@seren775]

Sounds all great but I have a question how realistic doing all these in 3 hours with young children or elderly. Maybe a video with minimal walking at a slow pace would be helpful.

[@nancycarineo9348]

I LOVE Animal Kingdom in the afternoons!!! It's so nice to explore the park after most of the crowds are gone❤

[@seewoowoo]

FYI, your microphone with the wind sock on reminds me of a Pygmy Puff. You should decorate it and name it 😜

[@allisonward7122]

Can you make a video where you rope drop a park, take a 3 hour midday break and then go back to same park? Curious what all you can accomplish. Love your content!!

[@barbsmith7755]

Love your hair!

[@bownut6115]

Ma’am, this is not Jurassic Park !! 😂😂😂

[@kates7277]

Don't even think Universal combined with the magic of the Wizarding World could bring back the dinosaurs!

[@nikkim449]

Animal Kingdom is my favorite park too. I'm going to take this advice when I visit solo next month for a mostly resort stay and just do Animal Kingdom one afternoon.

[@tennessee2adventure729]

Molly, when searching for characters in the app choose the location button at the bottom next to the home button. It's so much easier!

[@kathrynotminski33]

A Red Bull or something 😂

[@notyournormalg1]

Talking about the avatar laying limp… sounds like you watched Jenny’s video about Avatar. 😂😂😂 We Stan flight of passage.

[@haley__1316]

My trip in May, our last park was animal kingdom. One of the last things we got to do was meet Chip and Dale in their super cute Dino outfits! It was such a memorable moment and they were so fun to interact with. Chip and Dale spent so much time with us and we are all adults who don’t usually do character meet and greets. It was such a great way to close out the trip!

[@dawntill5295]

My favorite park in Epcot but love Animal Kingdom and Magic Kingdom also

[@PoppaSquat-et3qp]

So Molly what time and what days would u recommend going up the best park in WDW?

[@brianlasey7016]

Great video Molly. How about a less stress time at Hollywood? Most videos look like running around the park to get the big hitters in and not very relaxing or immersive.

[@brody794]

Can you please do a review of STK steakhouse at Disney Spring?!?!

[@brody794]

Can you please do a review of STK steakhouse at Disney Spring?!?!

[@melissawagner2997]

I made it my goal on my last trip to do a cast compliment every day. Cast members really do make the magic every day. It was so hot and I didn't encounter one cranky cast member!!!

[@paigemccoy8526]

I’d like videos for each park using genie+ and fancy rides and standby the way that makes sense with the crowds and wait times.

[@1DawnMarie1]

Just thinking about Animal Kingdom in the afternoon in August makes me feel sweaty!

[@disneygal3566]

Question about the Nomad lounge... is it hot on the patio? I see the fans but on a day when it's 100 degrees I could not imagine sitting outside to eat??

[@annmariegoidosik8144]

would you suggest this method this march? spring break time?
