In our house, you can find a maze of wooden train tracks stretching from room to room at any given time. We love our train tracks, but it’s always nice to have toys that don’t wreck your house within 30 seconds. Tomy has launched their Chuggington Die-Cast Railway featuring tracks that stack high, so we don’t have to deal with the maze of tracks through our house anymore.
Our girls can build spiraling track layouts, but I don’t have to worry about the tracks being unsafe and falling over because the track system has been engineered for stability and durability. The Die-Cast Railway can be built multiple ways, encouraging their young minds to do what they do best: imagine, create, construct and play. It isn’t just a one track kind of playset, in every playset there are multiple layouts they can build.
This playset is for preschool aged children, but you may want to set up the tracks yourself. My husband and 7-year-olds set it up immediately when it arrived. Every piece was strapped down in the box, which is great for keeping the pieces in good condition, but it took a little longer to initially put together than we’d expected.

This is part of an ongoing guest post series on Disney World Savings, written by a life long Disney lover.
There is a lot to do in Animal Kingdom and having a plan will help you maximize your time there. Let’s take a look at what we can do.
Animal Kingdom
Walt Disney World’s newest and largest park has plenty to do. This park may sound and look like a zoo, but it has so much more to offer. As you walk around there are animal exhibits on both sides of the path that will easily entertain you and your children. I must admit, this is the park I have the least amount of experience with, but here are some of our favorite things to do in Animal Kingdom:
Most Popular Rides (longest wait)
Expedition Everest
Kilimanjaro Safari
Kali River Rapids (if it’s warm)
Other Good Rides
Dinosaur
Primeval Whirl
Shows
Birds of Prey
Festival of the Lion King
It’s Tough to be a Bug
Finding Nemo – The Musical
Head here for a full list of Animal Kingdom attractions.
Much of the fun in Animal Kingdom can be had just by walking around and looking at all the animal exhibits. There are also self guided special animal exhibits such as the Maharajah Jungle Trek and hands on exhibits like the Affection Section. This is a huge sprawling park, so it’s important to take a look at a map and see where all the attractions are that your family wants to do. The Birds of Prey show is really neat as you are able to get very close to endangered birds you’ll probably never see elsewhere.
Attractions
The most popular attractions are at the back of the park, so you can expect to do quite a bit of walking. The rides are also spaced out, so it can be tough to plan this park effectively. I suggest grabbing a fast pass for Everest and riding the Safari or vice versa. Don’t forget about the shows either, they are a lot of fun and can provide some much needed sitting down time. Animal Kingdom doesn’t have a ton of rides, so you can expect pretty long wait times for the popular rides during peak season. Read More→
