点评:If you’re planning a visit to Disney's Animal Kingdom, a little prep work will go a long way—trust me!
Our last visit in 2018 left us completely overwhelmed by long ride wait times. This time, I did my homework ahead of our trip, and it made a huge difference. I pre-purchased both Single and Lightning Lane passes through the My Disney Experience. While it does feel like an added expense (and yes, a way for Disney to increase revenue), it can save you hours of standing in line.
One thing to know—unlike EPCOT, which offers a more inclusive Premier option, the other parks (including Animal Kingdom) require you to purchase access to certain top rides individually. The standard Lightning Lane tends to cover less in-demand attractions, so if you have must-do rides, plan accordingly.
7 days before your visit, Disney Hotel Guests can begin booking up to 3 ride choices for the day via the app. Non Guests can book 3 days. Essentially pre-planning your day for you. Once you have completed a ride, you can go into the app and book another ride However, Lightning Lane access is generally once per ride per day. If you want to ride again, it’s back to the regular wait time line.
Some attractions offer single rider lines, which don’t require an extra purchase.
Our favorite experience by far was the Kilimanjaro Safaris. We waited about 45 minutes, mainly because the herd of rhinoceros' decided to take their time crossing the road… and at Animal Kingdom, have the animals come first! No rushing a rhino. Honestly, that’s part of the magic—seeing these incredible animals up close and not behind bars is unforgettable.
Honestly, Animal Kingdom Park's layout doesn't flow as easily as Disney World or Epcot. We spent a lot of time going back and forth and getting lost :(
Does anyone else feel this way?
Bottom line: planning ahead completely transformed our experience. I would buy the passes again. Our day was much more fulfilling ;)

我们上次在2018年去的时候,因为排队时间太长而感到非常沮丧。这次,我提前做了功课,结果截然不同。我通过“我的迪士尼体验”(My Disney Experience)提前购买了单人票和快速通道票。虽然这感觉像是一笔额外的开支(没错,这也是迪士尼增加收入的一种方式),但它可以为您节省几个小时的排队时间。
需要注意的是,与提供更全面的“尊享票”(Premier)的EPCOT不同,其他乐园(包括动物王国)需要您单独购买某些热门游乐设施的门票。标准的快速通道票通常涵盖一些不太热门的景点,所以如果您有必玩的项目,请提前做好规划。
迪士尼酒店的客人可以在游玩前7天通过应用程序预订当天最多3个游乐项目。非酒店客人则可以预订3天。这相当于提前帮您规划好了行程。完成一次游乐设施后,您可以打开应用程序预订下一次。不过,闪电通道通常每天每次游乐设施只能使用一次。如果您想再次乘坐,则需要重新排队等候。
部分景点提供单人通道,无需额外付费。
我们最喜欢的体验是乞力马扎罗山野生动物园之旅。我们等了大约 45 分钟,主要是因为犀牛群决定慢慢悠悠地过马路……在动物王国,动物优先!不要催促犀牛。说实话,这正是它的魅力所在——近距离观察这些令人惊叹的动物,而不是隔着笼子,令人难忘。
坦白说,动物王国的布局不如迪士尼世界或艾波卡特那样流畅。我们花了很多时间来回奔波,还迷路了 :(
有人也有这种感觉吗?
总而言之:提前规划彻底改变了我们的体验。我会再次购买通票。我们的一天过得更加充实 ;)
