My husband and I last went to Animal Kingdom in 2006 and still love it. There is a lot of walking but remember this park is more about animals and conservation so they have to be given the space, otherwise it would be more of a zoo. Kilamangiro safari is excellent, but get there early to miss the queues and... more

This is much slower paced than the other Disney parks. Still a joy to visit the jungles and safaris of Africa and Asia all in one stop. Kilamanjaro safari was a great up close and personal stop with the animals. You can watch the enjoyable show 3D of It;s a Bugs Life and don't forget the roller coaster of Expedition... more

Just returned from a Disney visit wherein we spent a day at Animal Kingdom. A few observations: 1) Expedition Everest is a lot of fun (Fast-Pass it). If you are into thrill rides, this is a no-miss on your next Disney visit. 2) The Kilimanjaro Safari ride is good (Fast-Pass it) but the animal sightings are spotty. Maybe you could... more

My wife and I had a great time at Disney's Animal Kingdom. We went the week after Labor Day and it was not very crowded. We have been to the Magic Kingdom a couple times and both agreed we liked this experience better. The safari was a great experience. As many others have mentioned it best to go early in... more

Visited Disney's Animal Kingdom on Sunday, August 24, 2008 with two other adults (no kids this time.) I was led to believe in the past that the Animal Kingdom was really only a half-day attraction and would not occupy a family for an entire day. This is not the case anymore. I was there from 9:30 a.m. until the park... more

I sort of expected Animal Kingdom to have more things to do. Was a little disappointed in it's size. We loved the rapid ride (although should be longer and have more "rapids") and loved the safari. Parking was $$$ - $11 and the park entrance was too. more

My family and I love to come to Disney. We know our way inside and out around the parks, and went to the Animal Kingdom when it opened in 1999. Since then, we've been back 4 times and are headed back a sixth this fall. Let us share with you some tips for your day at the Animal Kingdom. 1.... more

We had one day to visit Animal Kingdom and eveyone told us to heard right for the Safari Jungle Ride. We did just that and it was a great adventure. If you have a chance in the later afternoon, ride again as there are different animals out in the wild at different times. Our second ride was more interesting than... more

Animal Kingdom tops my list as the worst attraction I've ever visited. What do you get when you take a mediocre amusement park + a mediocre zoo + terrible customer service + an outrageous ticket price? The perfect storm for the worst vacation ever... I'll start with the good though: The safari was pretty cool even if it was staged,... more

I (28) went to Animal Kingdom on July 3rd with my mom (55) and sister (17). We got there just in time for the morning EMH. This park was fairly empty until 10am when it suddenly got pretty packed. It didnt begin to empty until after 4pm. The park had a tropical feel to it. I was really impressed with... more
