OFFICIAL New Animal Kingdom Experiences UPDATE 5/28: Reports from first night in Post #2

[yulilin3]

CM will have information on the times the sunsets every week. They get a sort of times guide called tell-a-cast and in them they will have the time for sunset for every week. In case you forget or forget to search it up here

There's supposed to be a special tell-a-cast distributed today, if I get any additional info I will post it here

It was last night. I saw so many pictures posted on fb, but nobody commented on theirs with details. Hoping today to see some reviews.

Great! Apparently not advertised very much, because other cm knew nothing about it. I want to know! We are going Saturday and I'd like to know what to be looking out for!

Did CM previews of JB occur?

Getting concerned that my extra money on a Tusker reservation next week is buying me a reserved seat for some movies scenes accompanied by live musicians. Need to see some value in this "show".

No. Testing of the show occurred but the full show was not performed.

I think a lot of the appetizers sounds really good and pricing on them seems ok - wonder if portions are big enough to just get two of those or share a few with someone else?


Also, and I fully realize I am probably reading way too much into this, but interesting that they have a couple of beers form Brazil when South America is not really represented in Animal Kingdom - wonder if there is any significance to that

What would the significance be?

I'd love it if they had this one... Albani Giraf Beer... even though it's from Denmark, the label looks like it fits... used to drink this years ago...

A lot of animal exhibits at the Oasis and Discovery Island are animals from South America, also the Viva Gaia band is latin based music along with the new Serenata Harpist. They also used to have a band playing Peruvian pan flute that was lovely to listen to

What do people think about the Jungle Book package? If it includes an app, entree and dessert then $67 is kind of a bargain. Do people think it will be a limited menu?

The previews are mainly for DAK cast (plus guests), but other parks had some opportunity to attend as well.
The only reason I knew about it/was able to attend was because a friend works there - no communication at all about it to those who don't work in the parks (or at least not those in my area)

Heard last night the JB preview was King Louie and Baloo spraying Mowgli with a garden hose while some disco lights and Pit Bull played in the background.

Disappointing. They could have at least lent out the shaman costumes... ...
