Disney's Animal Kingdom is getting the expansion of a lifetime and here is why everyone is so excited about it!

The Tree of Life

The first thing you see when you enter the park will be coming to life in this new protection show starting May 27th. Fireflies will magically appear and awaken the animal spirits that are carved into the tree with familiar music from some of our most beloved films. This experience will be a visual extravaganza that no one in the family will want to miss!

Rivers of Lights

Though this attraction might not be opening till later this summer it is still something we are all looking forward too. Animal Kingdom's first major show will take us all into the beautiful world of nature. This light and water show will be something no one would want to miss. From its magical imageries and phenomenal special effects it no wonder why it's one of the most anticipated shows of the summer.

Jungle Book: Alive with Magic

Inspired by the new movie, this show will be a whole way to experience the Jungle Book. Opening May 28th this show will take on a journey involving jubilant singers, Indian musicians, and colorful performs all accompanied with light displays and massive water screens all to help Disney tell you the story of the famous Jungle Book.

Discovery Island Carnivale

From Street dancers to stilt walkers to musicians this is one party no one will want to miss. Discovery Island will be full of entertainment both during the day and at night giving you a festival like no other. As the festival enters its nighttime festivities everything will seem to glow. This is something no one will want to miss starting on May 27th.

New Restaurants

Disney's Animal Kingdom is home to some of the best restaurants in Disney and these new editions won't disappoint. Both Tiffins and the Nomad Lounge are opening up May 27th. Tiffins will set its guests on a global adventure through food serving some of Africa's finest food, while next to Tiffins the Nomad Lounge will serve specialty cocktails and wines from Africa and Asia. These are places everyone is going to want to try.

Kilimanjaro Safaris After Dark

Nocturnal Encounters will be opening May 27th. Guests will venture off on a safari like no other, where guests will be able to view nocturnal habits of the reserve including lions, elephants, hippopotamuses, hyenas, zebras, rhinos and much more in this new adventure!

More Time in the Park

To most, Animal Kingdom has always been a half day park because of its early closing, but with these new hours families can enjoy what Animal Kingdom has to offer all day!

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part.

You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
