The Early Bird Gets the Worm at Disney’s Animal Kingdom with the Backstage Tales Tour – #MonkeyKingdomEvent

Disney sent 5 Minutes for Mom contributing blogger Dawn Cullo to Orlando, FL to attend the Disneynature Monkey Kingdom press event which included a visit to Disney’s Animal Kingdom. Dawn’s expenses have been paid for the trip but no other compensation were paid and all opinions are Dawn’s.

Do you like Animals? Do you like getting up early in the morning? Then this special tour at Disney’s Animal Kingdom is just for you.

Disney's Animal Kingdom Morning

The Backstage Tales tour is only offered at 7:30 am. This also means that you get to go inside the park before it opens and grab awesome crowd free photos.

Disney’s Backstage Tales tour will take you on a unique adventure as you go backstage at Disney’s Animal Kingdom. Before the tour starts you are fitted with an ear piece that will allow you to hear the guide talking at all time. I also got this snazzy name tag as well.

Backstage Tales - Name tag

The tour starts with a quick history lesson about Walt and his love of nature. His love of nature lead him to create 13 True Life Adventure films from 1948-1960 of which 8 of them won Academy Awards.

Next we moved on to the Pangani Forest and into an open aviary. The area is still considered “on stage” and open to anyone in Disney’s Animal Kingdom. Backstage Tales - Pangani Forest

This area allows you to get up close with birds as they swoop around their habitat building nests and finding food.

On the tour you will also visit the Animal Nutrition Center, where even I was getting hungry looking at all of the food and see how over 4 tons of food are prepared and distributed each day.

Pictures are not allowed backstage during the tour so I don’t have photos that I can share of those areas but I can tell you that this is a very in depth look at how the cast members take care of 1,500-plus inhabitants of Disney’s Animal Kingdom theme park.

Your tour will also take you to the state-of-the-art veterinary hospital, where you may even witness animals being treated. This area can also be seen while visiting Rafiki’s Planet Watch.

You will finish up the tour at the Animal Programs Administration building and learn how Disney promotes global wildlife conservation and animal well-being.

Like all families, Maya’s has more than its share of colorful personalities—and she’s determined to give her son a leg up in the world.

Maya and Kip - Disneynature - Monkey Kingdom

When their longtime home at Castle Rock is taken over by powerful neighboring monkeys, Maya’s whole family retreats, and she uses her street smarts and ingenuity to uncover untapped resources amidst strange new creatures and unsettling surroundings.

Monkey Kingdom - Baby Monkeys

Ultimately, they will all have to work together to reclaim Castle Rock, where Maya can hopefully realize her dreams for her son’s future.

Monkey Kingdom is now playing in theaters and for every ticket sold opening week (April 17-23, 2015) Disneynature will make a donation to Conservation International. It is the perfect way to celebrate Earth Day, spend time with your family and give back to nature.

    For television watching, the traditional guidance for viewing distance is 2 times the size of the TV screen. It may surprise
    you to learn that the materials used to manufacture tiles are all from natural resources as listed below,.

    You need the services of a professional because one has to be
    very careful when installing porcelain tiles.

    For television watching, the traditional guidance for viewing distance is 2 times the
    size of the TV screen. You can remove old mortar with
    the chisel and hammer method also. These tiles are mostly suitable for places
    that want to have a rugged effect on their walls or floors.

    Can I just say what a comfort to uncover someone who
    really knows what they’re talking about on the net. You definitely know how to bring a problem to light and make
    it important. A lot more people really need to read this and
    understand this side of your story. I was surprised you are not more popular
    because you surely have the gift.

    With so many different styles to select from, it can be
    hard to pick the specific type that should be used. With so many eager consumers, there is a high probability that
    Tile may soon become a household brand name. You need the services of a professional because one
    has to be very careful when installing porcelain tiles.

    After all, they know the process well and know what chemicals are suitable to be
    used on specific surface. It is highly recommended to install these tiles in an area
    where there is a high traffic of people. It can be nailed
    using a wall board hammer designed to countersink the nail heads.

    (and not a well intentioned, nice and friendly person with
    NO real psychic ability or skill). (My favorite service has been reading for OVER 20 years).
    At the end of the day, a good reading is much more
    about rapport, relationship and connection, and
    you can only establish that by finding out on your own.

    Aw, this was an exceptionally nice post. Taking a few minutes and actual effort to produce a really good article…
    but what can I say… I procrastinate a lot and
    never manage to get anything done.

    For the more advanced tile enthusiasts, having tile nippers,
    tile cutters and trowels would be good. With so many eager consumers, there is a high probability that
    Tile may soon become a household brand name. A myriad of alternatives are available to match any room
    design.
