Disney World President Jeff Vahle Commemorates Bakso’s Latest Milestone at Disney’s Animal Kingdom
While Disney’s Animal Kingdom is cherished for its immersive environments, remarkable attractions, and world-class cuisine, the undeniable star of the park is Bakso.
The young Sumatran tiger was born at the park last year and quickly garnered the attention of Disney World.
As Bakso prepared to debut on the Maharajah Jungle Trek, fans got the opportunity to watch the tiger cub grow and develop as part of Disney’s Tiger Tuesdays series.

It goes without saying that the adorable tiger cub swiftly gained a devoted fanbase.
Bakso Remains Animal Kingom’s Biggest Draw
Since making his debut on the Maharajah Jungle Trek last month, guests have flocked to the attraction to see Bakso in person.
Because Bakso is only guaranteed to be out before 11:30AM, the Jungle Trek has been a popular attraction for guests to rope drop.
Thanks to Bakso, the attraction has seen an unprecedented level of popularity.

Visit Bakso at Disney’s Animal Kingdom
With Bakso growing up before our eyes, the tiger is spending more time in his on-stage environment. That means guests visiting the Maharajah Jungle Trek have even more time to visit.
