Advantages: Fantasic Scenery mixed with great rides

Disadvantages: Park covers 500 acres, lots of walking!

As animal lovers, this is our favourite park, it is essential that you get there early and try to catch sight of the animals before it gets too warm.
Everybody make a beeline for the Kilimanjaro Safari's in Africa, but unless you can garantee being one of the first there, take avantage of the fast pass system. These are very easy to use tocket station, next to the rides main entrance. This will give you a ticket and 1 hour time slot to return, where you will barely have to queue. Then you can go off and go on a less popular ride.
A really handy tip, once you are in the 1 hour return time for your fast pass, you can get the next fast pass, ready for another irde.
For us the main rides are the Safari, Pangani Forest Exploration, which has some fantastic sights and the fish are amazing. Expedition Everest, one of Disney's scariest rides, well worth the wait.
Kali River rapid, be warned you will get wet! The tree of Life has a real fun show, It's tough to be a bug, inside. Festival of The Lion King is another show well worth a look and Dinosaur, another quite scary but great ride.
Dinoland USA is a great area for younger children.
Take your time and look at the scenery and plants throughout the park, they are incredible, it really feels like you are in a forest at tmes.

Summary: The most natural and best wildlife parks we have ever visited.
