The Wilderness must be Explored!

Animal Kingdom is not only home to lots of exciting animal trails and attractions, but you can also meet some of your favorite Disney characters in meet-and-greets spread all throughout the park. Well, Disney just combined those two things, and Russell, Carl, and Dug from Pixar’s Up just got to see Bakso for the first time!

Planning guide for the ultimate Disney vacation

The adorable video was posted on the Disney Parks Instagram account, and we can’t get enough! In it, you see Russell, Dug, and Carl all head into the Maharajah Jungle Trek to see Bakso with his mom, Sohni, and we’re freaking out just as much as they are.

If you want to see Bakso in the park, the good news is that he’s usually out every day with Sohni! However, as these are live animals, Disney doesn’t force them out into their public habitat if they don’t want to, and the animals can, of course, choose to stay hidden or sleep as much as they’d like throughout the day.

It’s never a guarantee that you’ll see any animal, especially baby Bakso, but if you’d like the best chance at seeing him, we recommend rope-dropping the Maharajah Jungle Trek (which usually opens around 9 AM) and heading straight to the tiger viewing areas to see him. As it gets warmer outside, cooler morning weather and any rainy day will often be some of the best times to view any active animals, especially Bakso.

This is currently a VERY popular attraction, so keep in mind that there will be a LOT of people behind you who want to see Bakso as well. It’s important to be cognizant of how much time you’re spending in front of the viewing windows and let other people have their turn as well. We know it’s hard to pull yourself away because he’s so stinkin’ cute, but other people want to see him just as much as you do, and it’s only fair everyone gets their turn!
