There’s much to love about Disney World. When visiting the Magic Kingdom, there’s a chance to meet some of your favorite characters. That said, the Animal Kingdom is also a great spot for unforgettable interactions — from a distance, anyway! Here, guests can get a glimpse at a variety of animals. The types you’ll see depend on any given day, though many visitors agree the best time to visit the Animal Kingdom is when it rains.

But at the Animal Kingdom, folks say this is when lots of animals step out into the open, making it the perfect time for a tour! See some adorable evidence, provided by someone named Kelly Brynn, in the video below.
