Animal Kingdom

The People really enjoyed their visit to Animal Kingdom. Woman was impressed with the level of detail of every artifact and structure in the park. She also said the wildlife reserve was very impressive.

The Tree of Life is the defining landmark of Animal Kingdom.



Although you cannot get very close to the Tree of Life, you can still see the incredible detail of the carvings from a distance.



Each of the "relics" at Animal Kingdom are one of a kind, created especially for the park. This totem pole appears to have been hand-carved. The details are amazing.



The buildings in the Asia and Africa sections of the park have been created to look as authentic as possible. I've never been to either of those places, but these things look authentic to me!



The details really help build the "magic" that Disney so loves.



Woman was not supposed to climb on this relic, but how could she resist? That mouth section is just begging to be sat in.



Woman wants to hook me up to this cart so I can take her for a ride!



This scene is so calm and serene. It's hard to believe there are people screaming on a roller coaster just 50 feet from this location.



This is one of the views people can enjoy while waiting in line for Expedition Everest. Woman said it was impressive how much effort they put into making the wait enjoyable. There were so many things to read and admire that she was kind of sad the wait was so short.



Just like the rest of the park, the safari did not disappoint. There were a slew of animals in what appeared to be a very natural looking habitat. Among her favorites were these white rhinos, because their fat rolls remind her of pugs.



She also liked this freaky tree.



She wants to install a fountain like this in the backyard, but I doubt we can afford it - LOL!



Most of the characters are dressed in safari outfits.



Woman wonders what this gorilla thinks about all day as people goon at him. Does he think the people gooning at him are on display for him, or does he realize that he's the attraction?



A view of the wildlife reserve during the safari. The animals were just roaming free and could go wherever they wanted - except the dangerous animals like lions and hippos.



Monkeys used this bamboo scaffolding as a jungle gym!



Woman encourages you to get to Animal Kingdom as soon as it opens so you can get on the "big attraction" rides more quickly and to see the "opening show" with Mickey, Pluto, Goofy and Minnie. She does not recommend the "Dinosaur" ride for young kids, because it is really friggin' scary. She loved the Lion King show and said the Pocahontas show was fun too. Animal Kingdom closes earlier than Magic Kingdom or Epcot, so it is best to visit this park earlier in the day so you can enjoy all the sites and fun.
