Taking Toddlers To Disney - Animal Kingdom

In the second part of this series, I'm so excited to share with you all of the amazing things you can do at Animal Kingdom with your little ones! When we went back in January of 2022, Animal Kingdom wasn't necessarily top of my list to take my 1 year old to. It has always not really been my favorite park as an adult, so I didn't have very high expectations when we started our trip out here. Man, was I pleasantly surprised. My animal loving daughter LOVED our time at Animal Kingdom.

There really is something for everyone at Animal Kingdom. There's thrill rides (including my husbands personal favorite - Expedition Everest), shows (including the amazing Lion King show), character interactions (don't forget character dining at Tusker House), the infamous safari and everything in between.

My daughter's first ever Disney ride was Na'vi River Journey - in the world of Pandora. The lights, the sounds, the water - all made for a perfect introduction of the week that was to come for her! Pair that with the animals on the safari, the new Kite Tails show, and surprisingly It's Tough To Be A Bug in the Tree of Life - Animal Kingdom is another win for your family!
