Up Close With Rhinos Reservations

[Disneydawg74]

I wasn’t able to get reservation for Up Close With Rhinos on my 60+3 day recently. Will be trying again for a future trip, but will only have up to 60+4 for booking. Has anyone been able to get it at that point? I know they only offer it once a day, for a small number of people, so it’s very hard to get. Just looking for any success stories. Thanks.

I was able to reserve 2 spots about 30 days or less out for last May. I just checked every day and they popped up. My husband and daughter enjoyed petting the rhino.

Thanks. I’ll continue to try To get reservations.

That’s just the way we rhinos roll

I want to book this for our October trip. I was hoping to buy it as a (late) Father's Day gift for my dad. I told him that he is getting his Father's Day present when we go to Disney and he asked what it is...I told him I don't know yet . I am REALLY hoping we can do this because he has never done a tour and he does not want to take a lot of time out of the day away from the parks. I figured this would be perfect! It's only an hour and it's at AK, which is his least-favorite park (but my FAVORITE!). I've done the Wild Africa Trek (twice) and another tour at the AK that they no longer offer. I've also done the Wanyama Safari and I would love it if they'd bring that one back, but I know my dad would not appreciate the meal at Jiko. He's a "burger-and-fries" kind of guy.

I’m also hoping to book this as a surprise for a friend for our September trip. Does anyone know when they become available to book? I’m assuming its 60 days in advance but is it 6am, midnight, something else?

 

[nw6675]

6 am EST 60 days out

 

[Chaitali]

Thank you! And does anyone know if it is offered every day or only on certain days?

 

[FrannyFrogs]

It's 60 plus length of stay. It will be hard to find at exactly 60 days out.

Every day. Once a day. The elephant tour is multiple times, but I've always heard not as good

Thanks, everyone! We get there Monday and we have options for Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday at Animal Kingdom so I guess that helps with our chances to be flexible.

Recently, when I tried to book it. Nothing available at 60+3.

Thanks for the heads up. I’ll try to temper my expectations

Online only? Or can you also call the (407) WDW-DINE at 6am?

You can call, but I suspect it's easier to get online.

I figured too, but we are very open on our schedule (the only thing we have "set" is our MNSSHP). Since we also want to book CRT and HDD, and we are so flexible, I wondered if a CM is able to see what is available over our 7-day stay vs me trying to look at one day at a time.

You can look by date range on this

I thought tours/enchanted extras are booked at midnight?

 

[shpooey]

60 days + length of stay, bookable at midnight EST

@Chaitali @kristenrice - tagging in case your booking date is coming up!
