DISNEY’S ANIMAL KINGDOM DAY 1: TUESDAY AGENDA

Your visit to Disney’s Animal Kingdom begins today.

After it opens in summer 2026, you have the option to see Bluey, Bingo and the refurbished Conservation Station.

In addition (or instead) 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 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 2p, and also
• Lightning Lane Multi Passes for Expedition Everest at 1.30p, Na’vi River Journey at 2.30p, and Kali River Rapids at 4.30p.

You have no scheduled dining today.

AT THE PARK FOR BLUEY AND BINGO

You have time available in the morning to see if you wish the updated Conservation Station, expected to open in “summer 2026.” This will include the opportunity to play and dance with Bluey and Bingo, and to “snap some pictures alongside your Blue Heeler pals.” In addition, the animal petting area Affection Setting will be updated to include Australian animals.

If you wish to do Conservation Station and Bluey after it re-opens, I’d suggest being at the park no later than when Early Entry beings, so that you can be in the line as early as possible for the train that takes you to Conservation Station.

NEXT STEPS AT AT THE PARK

If you skip Bluey et al, or if it has not yet opened, arrive at the tapstiles at Disney’s Animal Kingdom by 11a.

All guests–Bluey and not Bluey–should walk to Discovery Island and see the show Zootopia: Better Zoogether.

Explore the trails around the Tree of Life.

Have lunch. Flame Tree Barbecue is convenient.

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 ~1p Finding Nemo Show.

Ride Expedition Everest using your ~1.30p Multi Pass.

Make your way across the park to Pandora, and use your ~2p Lightning Lane Single Pass to see Flight of Passage.

Using your ~2.30 Multi Pass, see Na’vi River Journey.

See the ~3.45p Feathered Friends show.

See the Maharajah Express Jungle Trail.

Ride Kali River Rapids using your 4.30p Multi Pass.

Explore the flora, fauna, trails and settings of the park. Check waits and Multi Pass for anything you may wish to re-ride.

PREVIEW OF TOMORROW

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

THURSDAY AGENDA

You have today off to sleep in, goof off, go elsewhere, do some resort dining.

As reservable table service dining returns to normal at Disney World, consider booking for today a late breakfast at Chef Mickey’s and/or dinner at Hoop-Dee-Doo Musical Revue.

Neither of these is in a park, so no tickets or park reservations are needed–although dining reservations (available at the links) are more or less required, and can sell out very quickly after they open up 60 days before the dining date.

I expect that in later iterations of this itinerary, when character dining is more in its pre-COVID style, and/or when Tron has opened, that this day will become a Magic Kingdom day.

PREVIEW OF TOMORROW

Tomorrow, you complete your visit to Magic Kingdom, with an early start.
