I watched the first episode of National Geographic’s Magic of Disney’s Animal Kingdom, and it’s wonderful. Disney’s Animal Kingdom is one of my favorite parks at Walt Disney World, and a chance to go behind the scenes is magical.
You can view it on Disney+ right now, and I highly recommend it. I plan to watch the next episodes this weekend. I’d love to know what you think.
Did you know that all of the Magic Kingdom could fit in just one attraction at Disney’s Animal Kingdom? Below are more fun facts that you can share with your family as you watch the show.
I won’t be visiting the parks until 2022 at the earliest, so it is nice to get a taste while staying home.
