“Great Safari Ride - lacking elsewhere”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 May 2012 NEW

The Animal Kingdom is my least favorite of the Disney Parks. It has one great roller coaster, but that's the problem - it's only one. The Safari ride is phenomenal and it makes at least one visit to the park worth it. The raft ride is rather short and only has one good drop point. After visiting the park for... More

“I love this park”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 May 2012 NEW

Get there early - because this park always seems busy. A lot of families and kids, and it seems more crowded than the other parks. Lots of trees and water - so it feels hotter too. You must try the Everest Ride, The Safari and don't forget the Kali River Rapids - oh and you will get wet! More

The safari is a must, very cool to see the animals. If you want to scream do the Everest roller coaster. It was a rush. More

“Big thrill on Expedition Everest!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 May 2012 NEW

We went on Expedition Everest four Times! That is the best attraction here. We also enjoyed Kilimanjaro Safari, the Dinosaur ride, and the It's Tough to be a Bug 3D show! We ate a the Yak & Yeti in Asia. It is Asian food with table service. It was nice to sit and relax in the air conditioning after walking... More

“Not A Zoo!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 May 2012 NEW

It is said that Disney's Animal Kingdom was introduced as "Nahtazu." (Sounds like "Not A Zoo") And if this is true, it certainly lives up to this. The rides are so much fun, from a safari through a very realistic savannah to the coaster to the top of Everest. Add is walking paths where you see animals in the most... More

“Not thrilled”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 May 2012 NEW

I know other people rave about this park, but I just found it dull. The breakfast with Donald was a rushed affair because so many people were waiting to come in, the Kali River Rapids ride is short and smells really awful compared to other water rides at Disney and generally the park feels incomplete for some reason. Don't get... More
