The Jungle Book: Alive With Magic Dining Package – Disney’s Animal Kingdom Park

in Walt Disney World by

Have you experienced the summer release of The Jungle Book: Alive With Magic Dining Package at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Park? This exclusive dining package will be available for a limited time.

You can reserve the The Jungle Book: Alive With Magic Dining Package for breakfast, lunch or dinner at Tusker House Restaurant, which includes an all-you-care-to-enjoy buffet [Disney Dining Plan eligible] located in the Africa area of the park, or the newly opened Tiffins for lunch or dinner, which includes your choice of appetizer, entrée, dessert and non-alcoholic beverage [Disney Dining Plan eligible] located in the Discovery Island area. With either option, you must plan to dine no later than 2 ½ hours prior to your designated performance time of The Jungle Book: Alive With Magic. Typically there are 2 performances each night with the dining package offered for the first performance which begins at either 8:30 pm when there are 2 performances scheduled and 9 pm when there is only one performance scheduled.

If you chose Tusker House Restaurant, I recommend reserving your dining package for breakfast so that you will have the rest of the day to explore and enjoy the park. Disney’s Animal Kingdom Park is now a FULL DAY park, staying open until 11 pm most nights with a Kilimanjaro Safaris after dark experience and other new nighttime experiences such as Harambe Parti in Africa and Discovery Island Carnivale, and don’t miss the Tree of Life Awakenings as you leave the park at the end of your day!

Now, back to The Jungle Book: Alive With Magic… The show is a dazzling spectacle with stunning effects, performers and music, a magical way to spend twenty minutes! It told the story of The Jungle Book film well, and it was highlighted by over-the-top Bollywood folly. The choreography was fun, the cast was a spectacle in and of itself, and the projections were vibrant and creatively-placed. There are so many things going on at once on the stages! It was a really entertaining way to preview the new on-lake experiences that Disney’s Animal Kingdom Park’s nighttime festivities have to offer. Overall, it was an enjoyable top-rated experience!

I highly recommend The Jungle Book: Alive With Magic Dining Package and hope you choose to experience this dining adventure on your next visit to the Walt Disney world Resort too!

*Please note, park admission is required for this dining experience. Dining package is not required to experience the performance, FastPass+ and Standby is also available.

**Please Note: The Jungle Book: Alive With Magic Dining Package and Show at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Park has been replaced with Rivers of Light.

New Year’s Eve at Walt Disney World Resort

in Walt Disney World by

If you are thinking about kicking off the New Year with a New Year’s Eve celebration experience at Walt Disney World Resort, know that your celebration will be a Disney experience to remember! Following are some planning tips and information about a Walt Disney World Resort New Year’s Eve celebration…

The first and most important planning tip I would offer is to definitely stay on property during this time of celebration and to choose a resort that is closest to your New Year’s Eve Disney park of choice. For example, if you would like to experience the New Year’s Eve celebration at Epcot, choose to stay at one of Disney’s Resorts located in the Epcot Resort Area – Boardwalk Inn & Villas, Yacht Club or Beach Club. New Year’s Eve is a very busy time at Walt Disney World Resort. Parking venues fill up early and getting in and out with your own vehicle can be a challenge, but even if you let Disney do the driving the wait times can still be long. Staying close to the park you want to experience on that very busy night will allow you the ability to walk to and from Epcot.

The second planning tip I would offer is to book your dining and FastPass+ reservations as soon as your booking window opens. As I mentioned, this is a very busy time at Walt Disney World Resort and wait times are long for everything, including the restrooms! If you want to experience the rides, FastPass+ is a MUST. For dining, you can choose to experience Table Service options which require advance reservations or Quick Service options which are walk-up with no advance reservations required.

Something to also consider is that the New Year’s Eve fireworks is both December 30 and December 31 at Magic Kingdom Park. Epcot and Disney’s Hollywood Studios also offer a New Year’s Eve fireworks show but only on December 31, so if one of these is your park of choice you will need to choose…

And if you are typically park hoppers, during this busy holiday you want to plan to arrive early and stay in one park for the day. The New Year holiday is one of the most crowded times at Walt Disney World Resort and it’s not uncommon for some of the parks to reach capacity early in the day.

Epcot will host DJ dance parties throughout the World Showcase and in the center court, the entertainment starts around 7 pm following a special holiday fireworks display. Don’t worry, there will be more fireworks at Epcot once the clock strikes midnight and the party continues until 1 am.

A Walt Disney World Resort New Year’s Eve celebration is an experience to definitely add to your bucket list! Just plan to set realistic expectations, approach each day with patience and take pleasure in the fact that you are celebrating at the most magical place on earth!
