Gawrsh — DAK's Shut Down, But Hollywood Studios Is Your Win

Well, whaddya know — Disney's Animal Kingdom is nearly shut today. Nine of its seventeen attractions are closed, including Kilimanjaro Safaris, Avatar Flight of Passage, and Expedition Everest. Don't waddle straight there; send 'em elsewhere. The smart play is Hollywood Studios: it's the healthiest park today, and you can rope-drop Rise of the Resistance for around 30 minutes before the midday surge. EPCOT's got Soarin' down but the Food & Wine Festival rolling, and Magic Kingdom's Halloween overlays look mighty fine. One heads-up: it's 96 degrees with a UV index of 8 — hydrate like crazy and grab a shade break before the afternoon heat wins. A-hyuck!
