Disney’s Animal Kingdom Theme Park
Animal Kingdom is one of the four Walt Disney World® Theme Parks with a Safari zoological theme. What makes Animal Kingdom a fan favorite is its focus on animal conservation of 250 species within 500 acres, its African Safaris, and its adventures to the prehistoric age.
The park itself is divided into 6 areas:
- The Oasis
- Pandora – The World of Avatar
- Africa
- Asia
- DinoLand U.S.A
- Discovery Island
Some Things You Should Know
- To visit the park, you need a valid park admission, then you have to make a park reservation using their Disney Park Pass system.
- Keep hydrated! Pack water bottles, buy water or ask for a cup of water from one of their many restaurants.
- Disney is strict with safety, if a child doesn’t meet a ride’s height requirement they will not be allowed to board, even if they’re only 1/2 an inch short.
