Piston Peak's Almost Gone — The Trees Remain

Hey there, folks — Animal Kingdom opens at 8 AM today, Tuesday, October 13, and closes at 6 PM. The big change: the Frontierland boardwalk over at the ol' Piston Peak site is nearly fully demolished, so you'll spot a serious construction zone along that end of the trails. Other than announced closures, no rides are affected — I checked! My advice: get an early start while it's a comfortable 66 degrees, run Kilimanjaro Safaris and Expedition Everest before the afternoon, then settle into a show when the heat pushes toward 85. And that's no goofin' — the forecast says just a 3% chance of rain.
