- In today’s video, we visit Disney Animal Kingdom 2023 for the very first time! We’re finally making our way around Walt Disney World for our first time, and making an animal kingdom vlog 2023 was one of the things we were most excited about! We got to ride Animal Kingdom flight of passage, Expedition Everest, the Kilimanjaro Safari, and more. We also managed to enjoy a ton of animal kingdom food like the animal kingdom night blossom, and Mr. Kamal’s fries. We had an absolute blast at Disney World 2023, and we can’t wait to return to Disney’s Animal Kingdom 2023!

What's one thing we missed at Animal Kingdom that we HAVE to do next time??
Rafikis Animal Watch if you have not here.
Definitely go to Rafiki’s and pet the animals!! But also you HAVE to try Nomad Lounge!! Join the walk up wait list around 2pm and ask to be seated outside!!
@@JustInDisney we haven’t! Thank you for the suggestion!
@Sony Alpha Adventure that sounds like the perfect way to relax after work! We love it.
@@lisalewars9637 we’ve heard so many great things about the nomad lounge! Definitely checking it out on our next trip!
For me Animal Kingdom in the morning is the most beautiful park, it's arguably the most beautiful park period but in the morning it really stands out. I've been there a few times but only once did I do rope drop and there weren't too many people there, or most of them went to Pandora, and just walking around the park in the morning was awesome. It's the rare time where being at Disney is a bit quiet, peaceful, and you can just soak it in. If you haven't yet try staying at Animal Kingdom Lodge and getting a Savanna view. Yes it's expensive but I can't tell you how cool it is to wake up and see animals roaming around in the morning.
Yes, AC in the morning is perfection! We got there at opening, very small crowd & most everyone went to Pandora - we went to Asia, & the chill, with a little morning mist made it feel so perfect! We rode Expedition Everest back to back to back a bunch that morning, then went back & rode it more at night! We thought Pandora was interesting, food was good, but not the best part of the park, & were severely underwhelmed by the rides - but the rest of the park, all the OG stuff is 10/10!
Same! When I went everyone rushed to flight of passage & my Dad & I had basically the entire park to ourselves for at least 45 minutes
That’s so cool! We need to go in the morning sometime and check out. We’d love to stay at the AK lodge sometime, too!!
Truly.. i’ve seen a lot of themeparc channels…. Yours is just something next LEVEL. Beautiful artdirection, perfectly told and done with such a beautiful arty view on these parcs.
Omg thank you!! You have no idea how much that means to us!
I followed you guys to learn about Universal but I’m a Disney girl! My heart is so happy watching you guys experience the Magic of Disney for the first time. 😊
Awh! We’re so glad you enjoyed it! We love hearing that as we’re getting into Disney!!
When Tyler said flight of passage couldn't be half as good as the Dino ride LOL... After riding FoP mind blown!
😂😂
I learned so much watching your Universal videos before our family trip. It's fun watching you learn about and experience for the first time places at Disney where I've been before. Y'all are fun to watch both as experts and as newbies.
You’re so sweet, thank you! We love that you’re enjoying these videos, too!
Dinoland is like the surprise road side attraction you love going to as part of your annual roadtrip.
Haha yes! Absolutely! It was so cute.
I am a Disney person, but I watch your vidoes all the time for Universal. We go to Universal every 2 to 3 years, so I always watch your videos so I am always up to date. Spouse and I are headed to Universal soon for a qucik weekend trip.
That’s so fun! We hope you have a wonderful time on your trip to Universal!!
It goes without saying, watching your first experiences unfold at Disney is quite refreshing.
Thank you so much! We really love that you’re enjoying them. One more to go!! Lol
Everest, my first ever rollercoaster. Which I didn't do until this past year at the age of 37. Thrill rides since became my new favourite thing. Thanks for the upload!
Awh, we love that!! Everest is such a fun coaster! It’s not crazy thrilling, but it’s definitely not a kiddie coaster either lol
Your footage is always so beautiful to watch 😍 Animal Kingdom is my favorite park, so happy you guys loved it!!
Thank you, Lisa!! We loved it, too! We can’t wait to go back.
That was so fun watching y’all’s reactions to everything! Like kids in a candy store! ❤
Thank you, Darla! You’re so sweet! We’re so happy you’re enjoying our videos!
Loving the jumanji look guys 🐯🦁🦒🐘
Hahaha thank you! We felt it was appropriate for AK!
Every time u guys go to disney it warms my heart because i can tell u guys are more universal people then disney. You guys are so cute
Haha thank you! We’re enjoying Disney a ton, we just have no idea what we’re doing! 😂
Awesome job guys! Your camera work & editing is fantastic! Hopefully next time you can ride Flight of Passage. One of our kids says it is their favorite WDW ride! We are currently staying at Animal Kingdom Lodge this week & working on filming & showing all their resort has to offer.
We definitely did ride flight of passage! That was at the end of the video, we had a lightning lane for the end of the day like we talked about after we rode Navi River Journey. It was awesome, one of the better 3D rides we've ever been on. We hope you have a great time on your trip!
@@ThePughTwo Gotcha, I watched the first half as we are getting ready for dinner here at the Animal Kingdom lodge! We would also say the Lion King Show is a top 10 thing do to at this park!
My favorite Disney park, Animal Kingdom It’s beautiful.
So beautiful!!
I love that you guys loved it! More Disney content Pugh Two!! :)
Working on it! Lol so glad you enjoyed this one!
You guys are so much fun. So great to watch you experience for the first time. You guys are an awesome couple and are so much fun! Love your Universal vlogs too, but this was really fun seeing you enjoy Animal Kingdom. Thanks!!!
So glad you enjoyed this one! And thank you!!
Flight of Passage, one of my most favorite rides
It was so fun!!
Love the joy of seeing people discover how amazing animal kingdom is. Navi river journey is one of my favourites, its so chilled out and we got lucky once to have delays so the whole ride took 10 minutes - such a chilled out way to start a day. 100% recommend Nomad Lounge on your next visit - luxurious, relaxing, a true hidden oasis with great food and drink. Keep an eye out for chip and Dale in their Dinosaur costumes - the ultimate in cute, and definitely take time to explore the paths around the tree of life. We made a scavenger hunt for each park and the animal kingdom one got us to explore all the nooks and crannies. Such an amazing underrated park.
Chip n dale sound so cute!!!! We’ve heard the normal lunge is really good, too. We’re so glad you enjoyed this one! AK was amazing, and we can’t wait to go back!
@@ThePughTwo looking forward to seeing you explore more!!
Dinoland is perfectly themed if you know the story that goes with the land. Basically, the researchers in the area uncovered dinosaur bones and it began to attract visitors, so the couple, Chester and Hester set up an impromptu carnival in the parking lot to take advantage of the visitors and draw more in. That's why there are games to win prizes and other "non-Disney" things in the area. You can even see parking lines on the asphalt in certain areas.
We haven’t been back to Disney since May 2021. Seeing that Night Blossom drink got us talking about going back. That drink alone is worth it. Tusker House is also great for dinner and of course Expedition Everest.
😂😂 that drink was soooo good! lol We've heard great things about the Tusker house, too! We need to go!!
the energy of this park is amazing, miss it so much
Omg yes, it’s so good! We love AK!
If you enjoyed the safari ride, you'd love doing a staycation at Animal Kingdom Lodge in a savannah view room. There's nothing like sipping a cup of coffee in the morning on your room's patio and watching the animals. Even on my bed, I could see the zebras and giraffes. (and it's pronounced LOOM pee ah...a Phillipino food staple)
We need to do that! It’d be so fun!!
We'd love to see you do more disney! You both seem to enjoy it so much too!
Thank you!!
The smiles never left your faces. Truly, felt how much you enjoyed that. Thank you for taking us along. Keep moving forward -------->
Thank you, Justin! You’re so sweet! We really appreciate you watching!
AK is the best park that Disney has. Glad you had a great time. You made me miss that park. I love it there. So much to do there, make sure you do back time and time again.
We can’t wait to go back! We feel like we missed SO much. Especially with the shows! We’ll definitely be back soon!
There is literally nothing that can compare to watching you guys live your first days at the parks. It makes me remember my first trip with my husband and we are laughing crying with each of these videos. Coming off of Dinosaur, we literally had the same reaction the first time and it was like living it all over again. That was the best! Thank you so much for that moment of laughter!!! We just love you guys!
Haha we’re so glad you enjoyed it!! We know the feeling. We love going to Universal with friends for their first time. It’s so much fun!!
The first time in any Disney park is memorable. Watching you two do this brings back happy memories. Animal Kingdom is truly special
Thank you, Mike! We’re so glad you enjoyed it! We agree, too. AK is awesome!
Such a fun video!!!!! LEFT RIGHT LEFT RIGHT WERE NOT GONNA MAKE IT!!! Hahah
Hahahah thank you! We’re so glad you enjoyed it!
Best time to ride the safari is after 5pm beforre the safari closes, Animals are out eating, lions are finally awake from sleeping all day and the sun is perfect.
That’s good to know!! Everyone told us early in the morning, but no one mentioned the afternoon!
Keep it coming with disney parks!
We will! Lol so glad you’re enjoying them!
It was great meeting you all at the Tribute Store today! We were the ones from Cedar Point! Thank you for taking the time to say hi, and hopefully we will see you in our neck of the woods soon!
It was so nice meeting you, too! We’re really hoping to do some traveling this year!! Thank you for watching!
I don't watch Disney vloggs often but I must support my fav vloggers. Love to see the 1st time reactions. Keep it up
Haha you’re so sweet, Ali! We really appreciate your support! We hope you enjoyed it, anyway!
My heart is full seeing your joy in experiencing one of my favorite parks. Thank you for bringing us along in your journey!
Awh, thank you, Nate! We really appreciate you watching!
Avatar at night was my favorite part of the park with all the glowing lights. So unique and beautiful.
It’s such a cool area!! Especially at night!
I never had any desire to go to Disney, but you two made Animal Kingdom look like a lot of fun, so I may have to try it on our next trip.
We loved Animal Kingdom!! We already can’t wait to go back and explore even more!
Tyler: “when I saw it, I turned around cuz I didn’t want to experience it without you.”
I had to comment on this video just to tell Tyler how sweet that comment was! 🥺 you guys completely changed my mind on Animal Kingdom and I REALLY am excited to go now! Love you guys❤
Awh!! It’s been so long since we posted this one, I had to go back and watch that part. That was so sweet 🥹😭 we hope you enjoy Animal Kingdom!! We love that park!
Great to see! We love Satu'li Canteen.
It was so good! We were beyond impressed with the food!
As a Disney veteran, your discovery of how awesome these parks are, brings me so much joy!
Awh, thank you! You’re so sweet!
It was so great meeting the two of you in AK. You were so nice to chat with us. Great job on his video. You're both adorable!!
It was so nice to meet you, too! And thank you! We hope you had as much fun as we did!
You both are so genuine. What the world forgot how to be. Love you guys ! Don’t change a thing !
You’re so sweet, thank you!! We really appreciate you watching! 🫶🏻
My mom has never watched Avatar but she gets legitimately teary eyed every time she rides flight of passage.
Awh, that’s amazing! It was so fun to finally experience for ourselves!
My word it warms my heart to see yall having so much fun. My go tooz to eat at AK is the giant pretzel and the hamburger bao buns .
We almost got those bao buns, too! I was worried it wouldn’t be enough food though 😂
I’d have to agree with your friend.. the drink from pongu pongu is amazingggg and I do think its more refreshing than butter beer on a hot day
Oh definitely more refreshing! It was delicious!
I love y’alls universal videos but watching the looks on y’all’s faces for these Disney vids is like a little magical. Thanks for the content!
Thank you so much!! We’re so glad you’re enjoying them. Thanks for watching!
I just went for the first time in December of 2022 and had the same reaction! It’s so magical 🤗
It is!! We loved AK for sure.
I recommend getting snacks and cocktails at Nomads Lounge next door to Tiffins on the outskirts of Pandora
That's good to know, thank you for the suggestion!
Thanks again for recommendations. I stayed as late as i could. Pandora was unbelievable at night
Thanks for your long time Universal parks videos and newer videos of Disney properties. GO VOLS!!
GBO! We’re so glad you’re enjoying all of our videos!!
@@ThePughTwo yes we love them all! Thank you!!
Never been but i love that dinoland was amazing. Yes do an all day dino land!!!😂
I cant wait to see you two on rise
We can’t wait either! It’s gonna be so fun!!
When Tyler said he wishes Dino land USA is nostalgic and should stay forever… hes in for a shock 😭
Have they announced its closing??? 😂😭
@@ThePughTwo yes, at D23 they announced plans to replace it with a Zootopia or Moana land 😭
@@babyyoda0692 NOOOOOOOOO
@@ThePughTwo I KNOW I’m so sad
Love all of your content. You are one of the best at keeping us up-to-date on Universal Studios. That being said, I love to see the way you both are experiencing Disney. Can't wait to see more videos and see Tyler's reaction to all the themes that Disney has.
Thank you, Paul! You’re so sweet! We can’t wait to check out Hollywood Studios, too. We’re loving Disney!
Loved this video ❤ hope to see you guys do more Disney content!
Animal Kingdom is my fave of the four Disney parks! It’s just so awesome and a laid back, enjoyable vibe. And it’s gorgeous!!
We are headed to Orlando this coming May but we are skipping Disney and hitting Universal as we haven’t done the universal parks. Looking forward to it!
Animal kingdom is so much fun!! We hope y’all have a great time at Universal, too!!
Super fun video! Looking forward to that dinoland vid :)
Haha us, too!
Love the music in the background. Enjoyable to see y’all take on Disney
Thank you! Tyler does such a good job with the music!
I'm so happy you enjoyed Dinosaur! The last time I had some friends ride it with me they HATED it and thought I was crazy for loving it 😅
😂😂 all our friends think we’re crazy too. It’s so good!
You needed to do the Kali River Rapids ( make sure you have a changed of clothing including shoes ) and the lion king show its breathtaking
We did the lion king show on our latest trip to AK! It was so much fun! We’ll remember to come prepared for the water ride one day! Lol
another great vlog and loved the outfits. 🎉
Haha thank you!!
i love Avatar and animals so this video was really enjoyable for me. loving the switch up of parks!
Haha we’re so glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching!
So working nights so catching up on old videos (addicted to yalls videos) so impressed you guys reply to so many peoples comments. Outstanding guys. Yall are the genuine article 👏
We try to respond to all of them!! Lol
@@ThePughTwo thats a lot of time. But i applaud you for how involved yall are with people. Its awesome
Animal kingdom is my grandson’s favorite Disney park. It’s the only Disney park he wants to go to. Hope you had a blast! Thanks for the video.
It’s amazing! We can’t wait to go back and check out even more. We’re so glad you enjoyed it!!
My favorite park ❤❤❤!!!
We loved it!!! P
A whole day with dinos!
I love Animal Kingdom & it’s the most shaded park at Disney.
Yes! It was so nice! Lol even though it’s winter, it was HOT the day we shot this
That’s Florida for ya. lol The weather here is bipolar.
Loves this video! I love the cream cheese and pineapple rolls, and I am craving one right now 😋
Thank you, Lourdes!! We’ve heard AK is known as a great snack park, so we’re excited to go back and snack our way around lol
Animal kingdom is highly under-rated. I love it there.
We completely agree! We had so much fun.
Can’t wait
We hope you enjoyed it!! Lol
Glad you guys finally made it to my park! I'm an attraction Mechanic at everest. Wish I knew you guys were there lol. Love your guys videos, keep it up ❤️
Oh that’s awesome! We loved Everest! That hill at the beginning is wild, though! 😂😂
Animal Kingdom is my favorite Disney World park! I love Pandora!! So beautiful!
Anna that dress is adorable on you!
It’s so fun!! And thank you, you’re too sweet!
It’s so fun to come with you guys and see you experiencing all these Disney firsts!
Thank you, Lindsy! We’re having so much fun!
It’s was fun to watch y’all’s first time at animal kingdom. Good to see a different perspective.
Thank you, Chris! We had so much fun!
Anna, love the hats you’ve been wearing in the last couple of vlogs!!!
Thank you! You’re so sweet!!
It so fun to watch y’all experience these for the first time.
Thank you, Tere! We appreciate you watching!
Next time eat at Flame tree BBQ and sit behind the restaurant. There is a beautiful garden behind there and is by far my favorite place to sit and think.
Thanks for the suggestion!! We’re excited to head back soon!
Animal kingdom and Hollywood studios are their best parks.
We can’t wait to check out Hollywood Studios!
FESTIVAL OF THE LION KING IS A MUST DO🥰🥰
We wanted to do that so bad!
Loved this vlog 🎉
Thank you!!
YESSSSSSSSSS!!!!! I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS VIDEOOOOOO!!!!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉
We hope you enjoyed it!!
My favorite Disney Park and Expedition Everest is my favorite ride.
It was so much fun!!
Dinosaur is an AMAZING ride! I cried the first time I went on when I was really young because the T-Rex scared me and then when I went on it again as a teenager a few summers ago and I cried again because I was laughing so hard at my cousin who was pretending to be scared and freak out to the most exaggerated extend. Our ride picture from that ride is hysterical, that ride has given me one of my favorite memories ever!
That’s so funny! What a great memory! We need to go back there soon. That was so fun!!
My fiancé and I love watching you guys!! We will be at Orlando informer this weekend and hope to meet you :) About Dino land- I think the theming and land in general has a cool back story!
Omg, there’s a backstory?? Please share! Lol
Lol anna. So when i ran in the half marathon i was like wow animal kingdom smells like $%@% ...poo..lol😅
I hope use had a great time at animal kingdom as me and ma boys live it so enjoy the rides Anna.and Tyler have a great experience and have some great food guys love your channel guys
We did! It was so much fun. We can’t wait to go back to AK! We’ve heard there’s even better food there that we missed! Lol
@@ThePughTwo fantastic guys glad use had a great time and yes more food for use to sample Anna and use won't want to go back to universal guys having ball I.e not universal is your number 1 guys and rightly so great video guys as always until the next be safe and enjoy use 2
Love seeing your first time reactions to Animal Kingdom
Hope to see you at Disney world when I come visit in November
Thank you, Yvette!! We’ll definitely be around, so keep an eye out for us!
Never been. Well not really. Ran through during a disney half marathon. It was cool
I've been to AK so many times and I always call it a blah half day park, but watching y'all explore for the first time made me realize there's so much I haven't done in so long and I shouldn't take for granted how beautiful some parts of the park are.
Oh my gosh, we love that! We had so much fun at AK! We definitely agree that it has less attractions that some of the other parks, but it was still an awesome day! And we have so much left to do! Lol
Animal Kingdom was built after I went to Disney as a kid, so I haven't had a chance to experience it, but I want to! It's so beautiful!
This is my first time (Anna) experiencing it since I was a teenager, and it’s so much fun! So many things have changed!!
You should try the behind the scenes elephant tour called caring for giants! I loved it and would love to provide more information if you’re interested!! :) ❤
😦😦 you’ve blown our minds lol we didn’t know that was a thing! We’d love to hear more about it!
@@ThePughTwo Of course! So you sign up and you get to go behind the scenes of the safari that you all loved. In doing so, they take you about 100 feet away from the elephants and teach you all about their lifestyle. They have diagrams and trained experts that know the elephants and their personalities. I believe it was $60 A person, but so totally worth it.,
Your love for dino land is cracking me up!!! 🤣😍
It was amazing. 10/10!
I am loving these Disney videos! Seeing y’all experience the parks for the first time is so fun. Also, y’all both dressed in Safari style outfits is adorable. Your dress is fabulous, Anna!
Thank you, Trish! You’re so sweet! We can’t wait to get to Hollywood Studios for the first time, either!
Glad you guys got to go too animal kingdom, to me and the wife it was the best park that we went too last year when we were on our honeymoon we went to all 4 parks and animal kingdom was the best. I'm a roofer and in the contractor world and they have the best looking designs of buildings. We can wait to go back in 2025 we are doing that park and universal studios and epic we are stoked 😎
It’s such a great park! We can’t wait to go back again!!
Such a great video, and so much fun seeing you both react to one of the most beautiful and creative parks in the world!
We totally agree! AK is amazing, we can’t wait to go back!
I really like Disney and I’ve been watching your page for universal content. But seeing you two enjoy Disney make me smile. You need to go pet the animals in AK and the animation experience where they walk you through drawing a Disney character.
Wait wait wait.. there’s somewhere in AK where you can pet animals?? Spill the beans! Where is it?? 😂😂
@@ThePughTwo you have to take the train in AK to rafikis planet watch. There’s an area there called affection section and you can pet the animals there. And conservation station is there and you can see the veterinary treatment room where they may be doing a procedure on an animal.
I just love watching you guys! Thank you for the tips and inspiration. FYI your outfits are so cute with the animal print and hat. You guys are awesome!!!
You’re so sweet, thank you! We love that you’ve enjoyed our videos, and we really appreciate you watching them. You’re awesome!! Lol
We experienced our first time at Animal Kingdom just a few days before you! What a wonderful park! Pandora might just be my favorite themed land, it's simply amazing. I could go back here again and again. I look forward to watching your travels as I won't be able to be back anytime soon.
That’s amazing! We’re already planning a trip to go back and experience everything else there. It was so fun! We’re glad y’all had an awesome time on your trip, too!
Hey Anna, the wife said you look great for your trip to. Animal Kingdom 👍👍👍
Tell her I said thank you!! That’s so sweet!
YES! This is the video I have been waiting for since you first got your Disney Passes. Animal Kindgom is my favorite park in Central Florida and I love watching people experience it for the first time. Next time you need to see Festival of the Lion King (best show at Disney), It's Tough to Be a Bug, Maharaja Jungle Trek (tigers and bats), and take a ride on the Train out to Rafiki's Planet Watch so you two can see backstage and pet the goats. Another thing I love about Animal Kingdom are all of the pathways around the Tree of Life. They are so peaceful, give great views of the Tree, and have some hidden animals along the way. Take your time and explore! Welcome to Disney. There is room for all of the parks on your vlog.
We had so much fun, and we feel like we barely scratched the surface! It was great. We can’t wait to go back!!
@@ThePughTwo It's great to be an expert on the parks that you have visited over and over again. But, I love the wonder in the eyes of you and Tyler as you discover new things. Central Florida has a lot to offer besides Universal. Welcome!
