Animal Kingdom's your secret weapon today — it opens at 8 AM and's already rated Moderate (31-min average), the quietest of the bunch. Get there for rope drop: Kilimanjaro Safaris and Avatar Flight of Passage are the headliners, and Na'vi River Journey's been closed overnight, so grab it first thing before it reopens. The tasty news? Baked Chicken Tenders are debuting at DAK today — grab breakfast right there and beat the midday heat into the parks. Heads-up: Zootopia: Better Zoogether! keeps flickerin' in and out of the scans, so check the app before you walk its way. And pack ponchos — rain was likely overnight and the trails get muddy. Meet Moana at 8:30 if the little ones are hoppy. Gawrsh, what a wild morning!
