(Note: this is from the Disney World Updated Multi Pass Itinerary.)

DISNEY’S ANIMAL KINGDOM DAY 1: TUESDAY AGENDA

Your visit to Disney’s Animal Kingdom begins today.

You will see the park’s Oasis, Discovery Island, Dinoland USA, and Asia sections, interrupted by a trek to Pandora to see Flight of Passage. You will complete your visit another day.

After a relaxed morning, be at the tapstiles by 11.30a.

You will use both Lightning Lane Single Pass and Multi Pass today.

You should have prebooked

• A Lightning Lane Single Pass visit to Flight of Passage for 5p, and also
• Lightning Lane Multi Passes for DINOSAUR at 1p, Kali River Rapids at 3p, and Expedition Everest at 4p. (Note: there are no Multi Pass tiers at Animal Kingdom.)

You have no scheduled dining today.

AT THE PARK

Arrive at the tapstiles at Disney’s Animal Kingdom by 11.30a.

Enjoy the displays in the Oasis as you walk to Discovery Island.

The Discovery Island 3D film It’s Tough to Be a Bug has closed, and will be replaced in “Winter 2025” by a new show, “Zootopia: Better Zoogether.” If the new show is open during your visit, see it now.

Explore the trails around the Tree of Life.

Have lunch. Flame Tree Barbecue is convenient.

Head to Dinoland USA and see DINOSAUR using Multi Pass. There’s much construction in this area as Disney readies a major expansion for later this decade, but DINOSAUR, the crown jewel of the area, will be open (at least) through 2025.

Check the schedules for Finding Nemo: The Big Blue… and Beyond and Feathered Friends in Flight, and compare to your Lightning Lane Multi Pass schedule. Most days the following will work for you, but adjust as necessary:

See the Finding Nemo Show.

Ride Kali River Rapids using Multi Pass.

See the Feathered Friends show.

See the Maharajah Express Jungle Trail.

Ride Expedition Everest using Multi Pass.

Check for additional Multi Pass for re-rides.

Make your way across the park to Pandora, and use your Lightning Lane Single Pass to see Flight of Passage.

Explore Pandora. If you are ready for dinner, Satuli Canteen in Pandora is a wonderful choice.

By this time, lines may have dropped substantially. If the park is still open, before heading back to your hotel, in particular check the waits for Na’vi River Journey–riding it now will simplify your second day at Animal Kingdom.

PREVIEW OF TOMORROW

You will sleep in, and then spend the first of three days at Magic Kingdom.
