Summer Awakens at Animal Kingdom
Animal Kingdom kicked off its evening offerings this weekend, with Kilimanjaro Nighttime Safaris, Tree of Life Awakens, and The Jungle Book: Alive With Magic.
With extended evening hours now the norm at Disney's Animal Kingdom, traffic at the parking toll plaza can get congested (like here at nearly 6 p.m. on Sunday) as guests arrive to sample the new evening offerings. Photo by Alan S. Dalinka.

Kilimanjaro Nighttime Safaris
Travelers can experience sunset on the savanna until 11:00 p.m. each night, now through Monday, September 5.
Kilimanjaro Safaris now runs “Sunset Safaris” after dark, which feature an artificial sunset on the savanna and a slightly different route than the daytime safaris. Photo by Alan S. Dalinka.
The nighttime “Sunset Safaris” at Kilimanjaro Safaris can be very dark (even more so on a rainy night) and particularly difficult to photograph. Riders are asked to disable all camera lighting and flashes for the benefit of the animals. Photo by Alan S. Dalinka.

Tree of Life Awakens
Keep your eyes peeled for one of the “awakening” moments, a series of four different short shows that use the Tree of Life as the “screen” for projected and laser effects. The shows take place between sunset and park closing, but Disney has not published specific showtimes in a likely attempt to discourage people from congesting the surrounding walkway.
When the Tree of Life is not coming to life in one of its four new shows, the tree is lit with occasional bits of “life” appearing to move across it. Photo by Alan S. Dalinka.
The Jungle Book: Alive With Magic
This “limited engagement” replacement for the not-yet-ready-for-primetime Rivers of Light show is held in the same seating area. At present, the show is scheduled twice each night: 9:00 p.m. and 10:30 p.m.
Fastpass+ reservations are strongly suggested for this show, though there is a standby line for each performance in the event the seating area does not reach capacity. You can view the show from either side of the seating area. If you don't have a Fastpass, you can also watch the show from a pedestrian bridge between Expedition Everest and the theater used for Finding Nemo: The Musical.
If you purchased one of the Jungle Book dining packages but the show is cancelled for weather or technical problems, you can use the seating voucher that comes with your meal at any performance of the show for the next five days. This offer is a change to normal Disney policy, in which rainchecks are not offered for dining packages in the event the show can not be performed, and is a smart customer service move on Disney's part.
Three barges appear to be anchored in the Discovery River for the new Jungle Book: Alive With Magic nighttime show. The central stage faces the pedestrian bridge. Photo by Alan S. Dalinka.

The Jungle Book: Alive With Magic show has three sets of stages set up near the seating arena, three stage barges on Discovery River (only one of which was used during the show I saw), three large mist screens, and three motored barges with fire-twirling performers. Photo by Alan S. Dalinka.
The Jungle Book: Alive With Magic seems to be mostly a Bollywood-inspired dance show accompanied by three live singers on the central barge, which (for no apparent reason) faces the pedestrian bridge over the Discovery River rather than any of the arena's seating areas. Photo by Alan S. Dalinka.

Peek inside Tiffins and the Nomad Lounge
Alan Dalinka got a look inside Tiffins and the adjacent Nomad Lounge, which opened over Memorial Day weekend.
Tiffins Signature Restaurant has opened along with the neighboring Nomad Lounge on Discovery Island next to the construction site of Pandora: The World of AVATAR at Disney's Animal Kingdom. Photo by Alan S. Dalinka.
The Nomad Lounge overlooks the Discovery River and the bridge to the still under-construction Pandora: The World of AVATAR. It has both outdoor and indoor open seating areas. Photo by Alan S. Dalinka.
The walls of Tiffins (including the Nomad Lounge) are decorated with art relating to imagineers' world exploration that underlies the theming of all of Disney's Animal Kingdom. Photo by Alan S. Dalinka.
The open indoor seating of the Nomad Lounge, including the bar area, is decorated with artwork drawn from travel throughout South Asia, “from Bali to the Himalayas to create the world of Anandapur.” Photo by Alan S. Dalinka.
Artwork on the wall of one of the main dining rooms of Tiffins is inspired by travels to “the towns and savannas of Eastern and Southern Africa… the details that give rise to Harambe.” Photo by Alan S. Dalinka.
New bus routes for water parks
If your Walt Disney World vacation includes a trip to Blizzard Beach or Typhoon Lagoon, be aware that Disney has modified the bus routes serving the two water parks. As of this past weekend, Disney no longer offers direct bus service from the Walt Disney World Resort hotels to either Blizzard Beach or Typhoon Lagoon. To get to Blizzard Beach, guests must take a bus from their hotel to Disney's Animal Kingdom Park, and from there transfer to a different bus to make the hop to the water park.
Guests going to Typhoon Lagoon board a bus from their hotel to Disney Springs. If it's before 1:00 p.m., the same bus will continue on to Typhoon Lagoon. After 1:00 p.m., passengers may need to change buses at Disney Springs—be sure to let the driver know you're heading to the water park so they can give you appropriate instructions.
This change will certainly add to the water park commute for most visitors, though it also helps provide a steady stream of buses heading to both Animal Kingdom and Disney Springs, two locations which are certain to see an uptick in traffic due to their new attractions.
If all this is making you want to rent a car and avoid all of the hassles, Disney will soon offer preferred parking at both Blizzard Beach and Typhoon Lagoon for an additional $15 per car. Look for that new parking fee structure to roll out by mid-June.
Of course, you could also skip the bus and the rental car and just use a taxi or Uber to get from point to point.
Views from around the World
Contributing photographer Alan Dalinka shares his photos from around Walt Disney World this week.
Epcot
The refurbished sign in front of The Land pavilion has been installed and now features “Soarin'” which has reopened showing the Soarin' Over California ride-film until the June 17 debut of the new Soarin' Around the World. Photo by Alan S. Dalinka.
Soarin' reopened last week with a newly carpeted queue, a new paint scheme, and a new Concourse C. Photo by Alan S. Dalinka.
The new Concourse C at Soarin' leads to the newly built ride-theater which, until June 17, shows the classic Soarin' Over California ride-film. Photo by Alan S. Dalinka.
The Disney California Adventure version of the Soarin' Over California safety video is now shown to riders in the pre-show area before boarding. Photo by Alan S. Dalinka.
At least for now, the “Chief Flight Attendant” is still Patrick Warburton at Soarin'. No word yet on whether he also hosts the pre-flight safety video for Soarin' Around the World. Photo by Alan S. Dalinka.
Disney's Hollywood Studios
The new track inside Soundstage 1, extending the capacity of Toy Story Midway Mania, opened last week. Photo by Alan S. Dalinka.
After reaching the Fastpass+ merge point in the original queue for Toy Story Midway Mania, riders may be sent to the new loading/unloading and dispatch area for the new track. Photo by Alan S. Dalinka.

The exterior of Soundstage 1 has not been redecorated to reflect that it is now home to the new additional track for Toy Story Midway Mania. All riders enter the same Fastpass+ or Standby queues, but riders exit the new track from a doorway just beyond the “Hot Set” marquee. Photo by Alan S. Dalinka.
One of the new projection towers facing the Center Stage and Chinese Theater has been painted to match the nearby Hyperion Theater (home of For the First Time in Forever: A Frozen Sing-Along Celebration). Photo by Alan S. Dalinka.
A light/sound/pyro tower between One Man's Dream and Voyage of the Little Mermaid is now completely surrounded by scaffolds and construction scrims. The tower is likely part of the infrastructure for the new Star Wars: A Galactic Spectacular fireworks show. Photo by Alan S. Dalinka.
The renovations of the former home of Pizza Planet now include additional external steelwork for a expansion. When Pizza Planet reopens, it will have a brand-new name and theme, in keeping with the rebranding of the surrounding area. According to permits filed by Disney, the restaurant will reopen as Rizzo's Pizza, named for the Muppet rat. Photo by Alan S. Dalinka.

With the opening of the nearby Tiffins and Nomad Lounge, the construction wall blocking access to Pandora has been moved closer to the bridge to the new land and shows new artwork. Photo by Alan S. Dalinka.
Construction continues in the “upper” seating area at Flame Tree BBQ. Photo by Alan S. Dalinka.

Rather than light sabers, light-up animal-based toys are now available for sale at Disney's Animal Kingdom. Photo by Alan S. Dalinka.
Disney Springs
Decorative signage now hangs over the Town Center pedestrian entrance to the newly opened Lime Garage. Photo by Alan S. Dalinka.
Boardwalk
As announced last week, as renovations continue at the restaurant, the word “Cafe” has been dropped from the name of the Flying Fish and now it has also been removed from the sign facing Disney's BoardWalk. Photo by Alan S. Dalinka.
