And also don't forget the exclusive limited edition fruit slushy or ice cream in bowls made by our Feathered Friends at Warung Outpost..

I mean... Flights of Wonder was pretty perfect. Always, or at least since 2011 when I lived there. My wife worked in zoos/aquariums/animal care and they were always hiring. They're avian specialists.

This has always been,IMO , the most underrated show on Disney property. Forgetting the different versions they tried putting in. Always been a must do for us at Ak. Hopefully just some paint and sprucing up then back open.

Sounds like that would make for a good joke souvenir to give someone. Sort of like the can of elephant dung that one zoo sold at one point. I can just imagine the surprises when people open it to find out if its real. hehe

Bring back Guano Joe.

Expect to find Genuine Performing Bird Guano available in 6-oz bags at the nearby Mandala Gifts Emporium... only $19.95 (plus tax, theme park admission required).

Glad to hear the likelihood of changes is low. Took them awhile (and a pandemic) to get the show right. I didn't know it was a third-party operator. That's interesting. Has it always been a third-party, or only since the pandemic re-opening?

jeanericuser001Aug 08, 2022

I bet they want to setup a meet and greet location so after the show they can charge people to get some pics with the birds.

Joe sez no....

That says a lot that a show operated by a third party is better than something run by Disney.

wdwmagicAug 08, 2022

I can't see any changes coming. The show is popular once again, and is being operated by a third party for relatively low costs. I think it will just be maintenance.

JohnDAug 08, 2022

Yeah. Let's hope it's just to spruce up, give the cast and birds a break, and clean up the bird poop.

MisterPenguinAug 08, 2022

They need to remove the benches and get an earth-mover in there to get up the mounds of guano.

WE saw this for the first time in April and absolutely loved it!
