Disney's Animal Kingdom Park

Disneys Animal Kingdom was opened in 1998 and is the newest of the Disney Parks in Orlando and it also covers the largest area although a lot of this is not area that is accessible to the public. This is an ideal park to tackle as your first attempt at Disney as it is easier to navigate and it is simple to fit everything into your day. Like all Disney attractions it is spotlessly clean with plenty of toilets and rest areas when you need to take the weight off your feet. The difference between this and the other Disney Theme Parks is evident as soon as you enter. The atmosphere is more natural with lots of trees and less of the garish colours and ...  Read the complete review

The Disney Animal Kingdom is an amazing park themed on animals and all the Disney animal films. It works the same as the other Disney parks with rent-a-looker shop etc. With loads of restrooms, helpers (if you stand around for to long staring at a map somebody with run up and ask if the can help you, its really nice), water taps etc. Oh and fast passes, I didn't mention them in my last review. You take your tickets to the entrance of which ever ride and enter them into a small machine. They then give you a fast pass ticket with a time on them (which is when they are valid). You get one ticket per park ticket and you line up in a different line which is shorter because ...  Read the complete review

I used to think that Animal Kingdom was my least favourite park in Orlando. However on recent visits I have spent more time there and have now realised that the park has a lot more to offer than I realised.

I have also found that quite often there are characters around the entrance (animal related ones of course) the most recent one was Rafiki from the Lion King. As it was quiet around the entrance he was hiding behind bushes etc and generally being a bit more interactive than the ...  Read the complete review

Disney's Animal Kingdom opened in April 1998 . It is the last Theme park to be made at Walt Disney World (So far) The park is located on the left edge of Disney World so when it was being built it was hidden from most guests. This meant that Disney was able to hide the park until they wanted to announce the project. Walt Disney loved animals and used time in this TV shows. To carry his visions Walt Disney Imaginers planed a park dedicated to animals and the environment. Before Animal Kingdom, Walt Disney World did have a small island dedicated to animals (Discovery Island) located in the middle of Bay Lake near the Magic Kingdom. When the animal ...  Read the complete review

This year was my first visit to disney's Animal Kingdom. I wasn't sure what to expect in terms of rides etc but knew that I would not be disappointed by the beautiful standard of service and experience as you never are in Disney Parks. The entrance to Animal Kingdom is very impressive, a hugh sign proclaims your entrance with a flourish!! On entering the Park I immediately noticed it was less frenetic than the other Parks, which after the pace of the previous few days was such a relief. My family split up to start with so that my husband and one of my daughters could go ride Expedition Everest before it got too busy. One of ...  Read the complete review
