Disney World Animal Kingdom
Want to combine the Disney World magic with the world of the Animal Kingdom? Over 1000 animals in a park of over 500 acres Disney's Animal Kingdom takes the concept of an animal park to a new dimension.
Disney's Animal Kingdom has rides, shows and attractions all based around the animal theme. It has 6 lands - The Oasis, Discovery Island, Dinoland USA, Camp Minnie Mickey, Africa and Asia.
Disney's Animal Kingdom is a huge park - almost five times the size of Magic Kingdom. So a visit takes some planning - let me guide you through Disney World Animal Kingdom.
Disney Animal Kingdom Tree Of Life

Look very carefully at this photograph as things are not always what they seem. The amazing focal point for the Animal Kingdom is the Tree of Life. It is entirely man made. As you walk closer you will see hundreds of animals carved into it's trunk.
Housed beneath the Tree of Life is It's Tough To Be A Bug! This multi sensory show experience uses 3D effects - and can be a little scary for young children. A cast member once told me that they lose a lot of their audience a couple of minutes in to the show as it is very intense!

Disney Animal Kingdom Kilimanjaro Safaris
Should I do this first?
One of the most popular rides in Disney's Animal Kingdom is the Kilimanjaro Safari ride. Guests board open safari vehicles to take a tour of the animal habitat. Clever use of landscaping ensures that the guests get to see a wide variety of animals on their safari - from giraffes to hippos, elephants to lions. Guests can be assured that the landscaping also hides barriers - so you are not going to be literally face to face with the dangerous animals!This is a very bumpy ride. Take notice of the warnings as to who should not ride the attraction.
This is now the Animal Kingdom's second most popular ride - it has been beaten into second place by the new Expedition Everest Ride. However, it is still very popular, so you need to plan. One tactic is to head there as soon as the park opens. Depending on the status of the line when you get there, either ride the safari at that time, or get a Fast Pass and return later.
How To Get The Most Out Of The Animal Kingdom Safari Ride
Want to get the best chance of seeing the animals? Get to Kilimajaro Safaris as early as possible in the morning. This is when the animals at at their most active.

The Lion King Show

Let's not forget the amazing shows at the Animal Kingdom including The Festival of the Lion King. A visually stunning high energy show which is a must see on your visit to this Disney park. The stage is in the middle of the audience so allowing great views from most seats, but arrive early at busy times to be assured of a place in this popular show.

Dinoland

Not all of Disney's Animal Kingdom inhabitants are real - check out Dinoland where you will find Dinosaur the ride. You travel back in time to capture a dinosaur before they become extinct. This is one of the most intense rides in all of the Disney parks - and actually to be honest my least favorite! Others love it though but just be careful who you encourage to experience the ride!
