What a brilliant park! I was really surprised after hearing other peoples opinions on this park. It was our first disney park of this trip and found the customer services very helpful on giving us our disney tickets and explaining the park. There is not a massive amount to do but quite a lot to see, the main points that... More

I was hoping for more animals but it was packed with rides and a train that didn't have much of a view of the animals.

Very much enjoyed our day out at Animal Kingdom - it was our last on the last park to visit. It was great fun for all ages not just for kids. The animals were cool and there was an African street party going on when we were visiting. I chickened out of the Everest ride which looked very scary but... More

You pay a lot of money for park entry and this is a surprisingly smaller park than the others. We completed the whole park within a few hours. It was nice having the kids meet all the characters within such a short time period. I think we lucked out with the shorter lines. The shows were good... The 4D Bug... More

The place is huge, be prepared for alot of walking. If you like zoos then you will like this but I usually don't spend this kind of money on other zoos I visit. Its well themed and I think thats the only thing really bringing folks back to it. We rode a couple rides, expedition everest was a thrilling roller... More

There are great things about this park, but not nearly enough to fill a day's worth of time... The rides are great fun, we enjoyed the Dino ride and the bravest of the family went on the Yeti rollercoaster. The Bug's life 4D was great but may be a little terrifying for younger kids.

This park is pretty close to my favourite. I love the safaris and ride it at least twice per visit since it's always different. It's definitely best to do that as soon as the park opens as that's when the animals seem to be most active. Everest is my favourite ride at any Disney park. Tusker House is amazing and... More

I love the concept of this park and the visual appeal in it. There isn't as much to do as in other parks but I do enjoy the animals and I don't mind walking as much in this one. There also seems to be less variety of food options and have yet to have a good dining experience at this... More

Walk ways are too small and the park gets too crowded. Animals always seem to be "hiding" most of the time. There are good places to eat and great shops, but this is not a well planned "floor" plan to be enjoyed like other Disney parks
