Disney's Animal Kingdom Re-Opening Pre-Opening Cast Member Preview

Picture
Today Renée was able to head to Disney's Animal Kingdom for their Cast Menu preview as they prepare for their reopening on Saturday. 

​The park has really gone all out with the precautions and social distancing guidelines to hopefully keep everybody safe. Let's head into the park and see what it looks like! 

Hello from Disney’s Animal Kingdom!

Picture
Social distancing shouldn’t be an issue here today.
Picture
Picture
An open trash can and some safety reminders welcome you to Pandora.
Picture
No touchy!
Picture
Flight of Passage has been walk on all morning.
Picture
Social distancing lines are on the ground for the entire queue.
Picture
Lots of plexiglass barriers added throughout the queue for Flight of Passage.
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
You walk through the first preshow right into the second one where your party stands on larger dots rather than the usual numbers.
Picture
Picture
No wait for Navi River Journey. More social distancing lines and plexiglass.
Picture
Picture
Picture
One of the relaxation stations in Asia at Animal Kingdom.
Picture
No wait on Expedition Everest. Similar queue spacing and plexiglass here too.
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Characters are appearing from a distance on boats.
Picture
Social distancing rules go out the window when afternoon storms roll in.
Picture
Current menu at Yak and Yeti. Sad to see the fried green beans didn’t make the cut!
Picture
Let’s go get that dino! Everyone has been very respectful of distancing and masks for the most part today.
Picture

Picture
Picture
Dinoland is a ghost town.
Picture

Lots of dividers in the queue and on the trucks at Kilimanjaro Safari.
Picture

Picture
Some more of the socially distant entertainment passing by along the water.
Picture
Gotta take advantage of absolutely no one in line at Flight of Passage one more time.
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Pretty sure I’ll never see it like this ever again.

Solo ride on Flight of Passage.

This was magical.

Thanks for following along on our preview day at Disney’s Animal Kingdom! I have to say that I felt completely safe, and I was definitely apprehensive going in. It was a little weird with CMs in masks and face shields, and yes, it’s hot, but the crowds were non existent.

Curious, were masks worn during Kilimanjaro Safaris? Someone said they could be taken off on the ride and that surprised me. Did you see this happening? was it publicized that masks were optional on that ride?

When we pulled away from the loading dock, the driver stopped for a few seconds after we were about to enter the safari area and said we could take them off if we wanted to since we were all distanced enough. Right before the ride ended, he stopped again before the unload area and reminded us to put them back on before exiting the truck.
