Animal Kingdom is the most recent of the four Disney parks. The park has well over 1000 animals and is landscaped in various wonderful exotic styles. Buildings in the Kingdom are all crafted and aged to fit the exotic theme. Opened in 1998 the park is still expanding. Over the last few years it has improved rapidly, so it really is worth taking another look if you saw the park soon after opening.

overview
Animal kingdom is generally the most crowded of the four Disney parks. The layout and width of the pathways add to the crowded feeling which can feel quite intimidating at peak times in the day (late morning through mid-afternoon). The park has four star attractions. The safari simulation 'Kilimanjaro Safaris', the stage show 'Festival of the Lion King', the water ride 'Kali River Rapids' and the simulator 'Dinosaur'.

In addition there are many animals to see on the trails and pathways, a great playground for the youngsters and some of the best and consistent theming in any Orlando park.

Many have dubbed Animal Kingdom a 'half day' park because you can get around the main attractions in that time. This is a little unfair, especially if you like animals and are not just interested in the rides. If you want to be at a park that involves constant rides then you can probably be ready to leave after half a day if you arrive early.

There really is enough in Animal Kingdom to fill a whole day though if you are interested in seeing more than the headlining attractions and set a steady pace to allow time to see the animals and sights around the park.
