Jambo, Shannon! Welcome to planDisney! 
Shannon, I am just 
wild about this question! Disney's Animal Kingdom is always 
roaring with excitement! Tomorrow you'll be able to dance in your seat at the 
Festival of the Lion King, soar on an Ikran at
 Avatar Flight of Passage, and enjoy a safari full of smiles on
 Kilimanjaro Safaris. Like Scar, you want to 
be prepared for your upcoming visit, so let's start your day off on the right 
paw with the information you need! 
Just to make sure you had the most up-to-date information, I chatted with a wonderful Cast Member who let me know that the ticket windows at each of the theme parks open about one hour before park opening. You also have the option of
 purchasing your ticket online before you arrive. 
To make sure you have a Hakuna Matata (problem-free philosophy) kind of day, be sure to have your 
My Disney Experience app downloaded before you arrive. This app will show you attraction wait times, show the locations of your favorite characters, and allow you to order THE MOST DELICIOUS 
Ube Cold Brew from
 Satu'li Canteen through 
Mobile Food & Beverage Ordering. I had this beverage a few weeks ago, and I can't wait to order another! Shannon, this app allows you to be like Simba- "free to run around all day and free to do it all your way!" 
I'm so happy you stopped by before heading out on your Animal Kingdom expedition! We are not 
lion when we say we are pretty 
fierce about planning for the details around here, so feel free to visit us anytime, so we can help you plan for the magic! And don't forget to follow us on
 Instagram for even more helpful tips. 
Wishing you a magically wild adventure, 
Shonette
