Caring for Giants at Disney's Animal Kingdom Park! We're Booked!
I just got off the phone with the special tours booking at Walt Disney World. We just booked a tour for "Caring for Giants" which is all about the majestic African Elephants and how they are cared for at Disney's Animal Kingdom! We will be doing this on Saturday February 24.
We have been on the Wild Africa Trek at the park, and loved every minute of it. One of our favorite parts was seeing and learning about the African Elephants. We are really looking forward to this!!
If anyone does not love Elephants, I can't imagine why!

An Experience You’ll Never Forget
Delve into the wondrous world of our park's largest inhabitants.
During this 60-minute experience, you’ll meet with dedicated animal specialists who provide for the care and wellness of our African elephant herd. They’ll give you a glimpse into their day-to-day responsibilities as they provide fascinating facts about the elephants.
African cultural representatives will also be on hand to share stories of Disney’s conservation efforts dedicated to the preservation of wild populations throughout their homeland.
Throughout this experience, you’ll be able to observe the elephants from approximately 80 to 100 feet away—so you’ll enjoy a closer encounter with the elephants than you would during other in-park experiences.
Note: A portion of the proceeds is donated to the Disney Conservation Fund. (We love this part!)
