Anyone know where I can find the parade route for animal kingdom? We are going later in the day and I'm hoping to catch the parade but we will also be trying to get on the Safari late in the day too, so I want to try to be in the area of Africa.

Also, on the trails that you can walk along, are they paved trails? I'm going to have my 10 month old with us and we would probably bring the stroller. I just want to make sure we can get around.

Thanks!

Here's a map. First, zoom in by clicking on it. Then, it's still hard to see, but it's the red line. It goes along the trail that goes around the Tree of Life. It starts & ends around Africa (top left).

By trails, do you mean the Pangani Forest Trail and the Maharajah Jungle Trek & such to see animals? If so, these are paved. I think you have to leave the stroller behind when you go to Conservation Station. I also think you can walk most of the way through the Safari line with the stroller.

We only brought the stroller to AK with Aly twice...it was always a morning park for us. So maybe someone else will have better info for you. In fact, the second time we brought it, we parked it for Lion King, then did the characters without it, then left the area without a stroller. I had to backtrack all the way from the walkway around Tree of Life to the LK stroller area. UGH! Don't do that! ;o)

Hi
Thank you! I did mean the Pangani Forest Trail and the Maharajah Jungle Trek and such yes. That's good. Because my dd isn't walking yet and carrying her around in the backpack carrier in the heat would probably be rough. I let the kids decide what they really wanted to see and the only thing they really wanted to do at AK was the safari, so we're only going there from about 1 or 2 to close, I have heard the crowds are usually cleared out in the afternoon. Fingers crossed!
