VIP Safari Weekend with Jane Goodall


Here's your opportunity to explore Walt Disney World--and Animal Kingdom, especially--with a living legend! Dr. Jane Goodall is considered THE foremost expert on chimpanzees, due in no small part to her 45-year study of social and family interactions of wild chimpanzees in Gombe Stream National Park, Tanzania. In partnership with the Jane Goodall Institute, Disney is offering a VIP Safari Weekend with the distinguished scientist, April 20-22. I have no idea what this weekend will cost (honestly, I'm afraid to ask), but it will certainly be a priceless experience for those that can afford it. Highlights of the weekend will include:

  • Exploring all of the Disney Parks with Park Hopper passes

  • Savannah-view room at the Animal Kingdom Lodge

  • Behind-the-scenes animal viewing on the Backstage Safari Tour

  • Breakfast with Dr. Goodall and Disney characters at the Backstage Prop Shop at AKL

  • Campfire meet-n-greet, featuring s'mores and hot cocoa, as well as amazing stories from Dr. Goodall


Registration information doesn't seem to be readily accessible, but you can learn more about the Jane Goodall Institute here.

UPDATE: I have read from a few sources that the pricing is around $8,500 per adult and $7,500 per child. Yikes! Although I still haven't seen official Disney registration information, you can contact the representative from the JGI via email (azarillo at janegoodall dot org ) or phone (703-682-9288). Space is, obviously, very limited.
