The buzz: We had heard that the narration had changed on Kilimanjaro Safaris at Disney's Animal Kingdom, and now we have firsthand confirmation. It's different, but not jarring.
What this means to you: Wilson, the warden reporting from a helicopter, is still in touch with your driver, but there's nary a peep from his former guest, the very British Ms. Jobson.
Sadly, that means no "Tommies . . . tommies" line to imitate for the rest of the day.
What we observed: It seemed Wilson was talking less frequently, and that the role of our driver, Alex, was enhanced. The poachers story line lives on but wasn't emphasized. Near the end, the safety of Little Red (who has wandered off) is demonstrated, and there's reference to making sure the mom is OK too.
Side note: Despite the heat, lots of animals were meandering during our Monday safari, including one aggressive giraffe whose head came very close to entering our vehicle.
"He's a little possessive of his girlfriend," explained Alex.
