Disney's Animal Kingdom

I have learned from the animal world, and what everyone will learn who studies it is, a renewed sense of kinship with the earth and all its inhabitants.

Disney has always had a love for animals. From the True Life Adventure series to The Jungle Cruise, Animals have been a part of Disney in every way. Disney created this park as a place where you can experience animals from different parts of the world, different times in history, and (if they ever build the land) animals of fantasy.

By far the most beautiful park of all the Walt Disney World parks. However, I found that there wasn't enough to do yet. But that's to be expected from a relatively new park. Most people say that you could be done with this park in half a day, and I say yes it is possible to see most the attractions in a few hours, BUT if you want to truly experience everything there, it could take a lot more time.

Almost five times the size of the the Magic Kingdom

Opened April 1998

This park opens early and closes early. Arrive at park opening, grab a fast pass for Bugs life, and head strait for Kilamanjaro Safari or Dinosaur. You should be able to get them both done before your time to see Bugs Life.

People claim the temperature in this park is the highest on average, and I'd have to agree. While here, get water, and drink it often.

Most animals hide in the heat of the day, so early morning and late evening are great times to see them.
