How's it going travelers? It's Jay. I'm here at Animal Kingdom. I'm enjoying some beautiful weather here they're in the low 80s and um as you can probably tell um they are jamming over here by the flame tree barbecue so without further ado i think we're just gonna head on over there and we're gonna give a little listen and very appropriately they're playing one of my favorites can you guess what it is let's go for a walk. So what? Everybody sing! We're gonna head on in and over into Dinoland. I was unsure whether or not Dinoland was still kind of open. I haven't been here since they closed up parts of Dinoland but I'm happy to say that Dinoland is still sort of here and so gonna head on over across the bridge into Dino

Land see what's going on over there very happy to see that the Thrilla Bites is still open those Buffalo those Buffalo chicken chips are a fave and I'm hoping that they make the cut once we are all the way in South America. So, heading on over. I'm going to be in here like, no. That rock is the best one. I like it. I'm going to go to the bathroom. The Boneyard is still open. We're walking by that but the carnival rides are shut down and the walls are up i'm definitely going to miss dinoland it was one of my favorites

well i'm done over here reminiscing about Dinoland. So, travelers, why don't we head on over into Asia, see if we can get eaten by a Yeti. Or maybe they're selling Yeti steaks. I don't know. One of those things. Just feeling a little peckish. So, let's see what kind of good smells we can get for free over here in asia Storbritannia Svartkorn I'm going to dig a little bit deeper here, go see what kind of screams we can get at the mountain. The sun's beginning to set.

Just walking by the theater here. One of my favorite facts, one of my good friends is actually a imagineer for Disney. And she was sharing with me, because she worked very close with Joe Rohde, the theming behind the water theater there, that lake that's got the theater around it, is that when you walk by the entrance, you'll see a bicycle with logs on it and you'll see there are candle offerings and all of that is because it is a animal crematorium so the show the rivers of light show was based upon all of the spirits of the animals that have been left behind

when they're being cremated. And so those spirits inhabited, and that's what you saw as part of that show. So the next time you're walking by, that's one of those layers that I love about Disney. You wouldn't know it, you'll walk by, you probably walked by that bike in that crematorium hundreds of times. All right, see if we can find some Yetis. The Thank you. Kampung Kampung Storbritannia um Storbritannia I think I'm going to go with the The All right, we're walking by the food truck

Enjoying the overhead lights And all the gear. They're almost always the cleanest. I love them so if you want to stop at a clean potty in asia stop by the gear depot Nettokio The I I absolutely love the little side trail you can take if you're leaving Asia and heading into Africa. So many cute little bridges, beautiful sound of the waterfalls. So I thought I'd take you down that way.

Let you listen to some of the waterfalls right here at twilight they've got all the ground level lanterns it's just gorgeous beautiful twilight trail for us come by the harambee Market. Just reopened that about a year ago and some of the new food they've got there is absolutely amazing. Røde Røde... Nå er vi på veldig god veld. Had to stop in and see what kind of sweets they've got as we're heading into Africa definitely love all the instruments that are in here yeah it's a lot of fun so in case you want to just come in go shopping and annoy people this is the best place to do it Josh really really loves the rain sticks so that's for Josh.

Kind of walking through Harambe Market here, out of the shop. They are closing down for the day. Decided we're gonna close it out. Definitely can't beat the sun, the sunset here, all those golden hours. Walking by Tusker House and heading over the bridge. Let's go walking. Good night, guys. You too.
