How to Beat Animal Kingdom Before Breakfast (and What Happened to Reflections?) (Ep. 515)

This week, Len Testa and Jim Hill share how to conquer Animal Kingdom faster than you can finish a Mickey waffle and dig into the curious case of Disney’s Reflections: A Lakeside Lodge.


  • Animal Kingdom Touring Plan: Len’s step-by-step guide to finishing all major rides in under two hours—because who has time to wait in line?
  • Reflections: A Lakeside Lodge: Jim uncovers the rise, fall, and possible resurrection of Disney’s most mysterious resort project.
  • Tiana’s Bayou Adventure vs. Splash Mountain: Fans weigh in—has Tiana’s really taken the crown from Splash?
  • Smuggler’s Run Upgrades: Could Grogu finally make being an engineer on the Millennium Falcon cool?
  • Dinoland’s New Beat: A drumming band made from recycled materials? That’s the kind of green initiative even Mickey can’t resist.


Tune in for tips, history, and plenty of questions like, “Is it really a park day if you’re home by 10 a.m.?”
