This Animal Kingdom Touring Plan with Under 5’s has been designed to take into account the fact that we have small children and will not want to cross the park very often to get from ride to ride. It also takes into account our starting point at Tusker House and the time of shows on that day.
Tip: Pick up a Park Map and Entertainment Schedule on the way in.

You are putting so much time and effort into planning your once in a lifetime trip Karen that I just know it’s going to be EPIC and I really can’t wait to read about it x
Looks like fun. Thanks for the tips, I didn’t realize you could book fast passes in advance like that.
This place is amazing!! I would love to visit it one day <3
My son also used to love this kind of activities, specially any thing involving water ;). Must be great as the kids look really happy about it!
Great plan!
I can’t wait to try it myself, even though some might say I’m too old for that! Hope you have great time with your family there!
I’m over 5 but can I still use the plan?;)
