Ours was at 10:15. I did think that the hippos weren’t interested in waking up and coming over because they had already had enough ‘treats’ for the morning. They kept calling and trying to entice them to come over, and while they eventually did, at the time I couldn’t help but think we were waiting too long and should just move on. Of course, I now know that the hippos were our only chance of an animal encounter, so I’m sure they were trying everything to get their attention.What time was your tour? I wonder if the later ones have less animal activity...
We also had to clip into the safety hooks for the hippo viewing. I get that Disney is risk adverse. And I am very careful with DD11, so I don’t say this lightly, but the amount of checks and cross checks to stand 10 feet from the ledge was almost humorous. A small fenced railing or plexiglass would have easily sufficed.
I completely agree with the poster above - I thought there would be more - behind the scenes or chances to see animals - and there just wasn’t.
