Tomorrow's the Big Park Day — DAK's in Trouble, EPCOT's the Escape

Gawrsh, folks — here's your play for tomorrow. The headline: Animal Kingdom is in rough shape, with ten attractions reporting down including Na'vi River Journey, the Safari, and the new Zootopia ride — though that 0% health score may be a data glitch, so call guest services before you drive over. Best escape hatch is EPCOT, which stays open late (through 9) and runs a lighter crowd. Magic Kingdom's the day's strongest park with every headliner up, so rope drop TRON there. Hollywood Studios pulled solid too. Plan the meals early, pack a rain jacket — it's a muggy 87 with showers near 40% — and book Lightning Lanes before October prices climb further. A-hyuck!
