This tour will take a closer look at how Disney Cast Members tend to the 1,500-plus animals that call Disney’s Animal Kingdom home. During the tour, you’ll get to explore backstage animal-housing areas. You’ll also visit the Animal Nutrition Center to see how over 4 tons of food are prepared and distributed each day to the animals. The tour will take you to the state-of-the-art veterinary hospital where you might even get to see an animal being treated. Finally, you’ll stop by the Animal Programs Administration building to learn how Disney promotes global wildlife conservation and animal well-being.
This is an outdoor tour so be sure to wear weather appropriate clothing and keep a close eye on the weather. Also make sure to bring your own water with you.
