Gi-Tar Dan outside of Conservation Station at Rafiki's Planet Watch - March 3, 2014

On March 3, 2014, I decided to start my day at Disney's Animal Kingdom,  It's been a while since I've visited Rafiki's Planet Watch so I wanted to see what has changed in that area.  I took the Wilderness Express train from Africa to get to Rafiki's Planet Watch.  I got off the Wilderness Express train and headed to the Conservation Station.  Once I got to the Conservation Station, I noticed a man playing a guitar and singing a song to a family.  As I got closer to the man, I recognized that this was the same man that used to entertain guests at Camp Minnie-Mickey.  The man calls himself Gi-Tar Dan and has entertained visitors inside the Animal Kingdom for many years.

Gi-Tar Dan

I wondered what Animal Kingdom would do with him when Camp Minnie-Mickey was being converted as part of the Avatarland expansion.  Now we can continue to enjoy his guitar playing and singing outside of the Conservation Station.  Here's a small clip of Gi-Tar Dan entertaining a family.

Ride Video of the Wildlife Express to Conservation Station in Animal Kingdom - December 2009

Animal Kingdom has a train that takes visitors to the Conservation Station, where visitor can pet animals like sheep and goats.  The train is called the Wildlife Express.  Riders sit facing the side of the train so that they can see the backstage areas of Animal Kingdom where the animals sleep during the nighttime hours. It's an enjoyable and relaxing train ride.  I took video of the ride back in December 2009.  Enjoy!
