Animal Kingdom Birds
Animal Kingdom Lands
Animal Kingdom Show
Welcome to Disney’s Animal Kingdom, a zoological theme park at the Walt Disney World Resort near Orlando, Bay Lake, Florida and is the worlds largest theme park, covering 580 acres (230 ha).

The park opened on Earth Day, April 22, 1998, and was the fourth theme park built at the Walt Disney World Resort. The park is dedicated and themed entirely around the natural environment and animal conservation, a philosophy once pioneered by Walt Disney himself.

Disney’s Animal Kingdom is distinguished from the rest of Walt Disney World’s theme parks in that it features traditional attractions while also exhibiting hundreds of species of live animals.

The park is located on the western edge of the resort, and is isolated from the resort’s other theme parks and properties to minimize external disruptions to the animals; as a result, the park’s nighttime show also features no fireworks that would otherwise disturb the animals.

Disney’s Animal Kingdom is accredited by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums and the World Association of Zoos and Aquariums and hosts an average of 13.8 million guestsa year, ranking it as the third-most-visited theme park in North America and the sixth-most-visited theme park in the world.

Unforgettable Happens Here

Inside The Park

Seven Different Lands
Oasis

The Oasis is the park’s equivalent to Main Street U.S.A. and provides the transition from the park’s entrance to the world of animals. The main paths feature animal exhibits and dense vegetation and trees lead deeper into the park and then onto Discovery Island.

Between the parking lot and the Oasis sits a Rainforest Cafe, which can be entered from both inside and outside the ticketed area.

Discovery Island

Adventureland is divided into two areas, the Arabian Village and the Caribbean Plaza.

The 1930s adventurer/explorer vibe’d land is part jungle, part tropical island, and has a desert oasis thrown in for good measure; and as soon as you enter, you can tell your definitely in for an adventure or two!

Here you can fly on your own Aladdin’s carpet, walk through the treehouse home of the Swiss Family Robinson, cruise down the Nile, the Congo or the Amazon rivers, meet those famous Pirates of the Caribbean and be dazzled in the Enchanted Tiki Room.

Pandora – The World of Avatar

Pandora – The World of Avatar is themed to the fictional alien exoplanetary moon, Pandora, from James Cameron’s Avatar series. The land’s marquee attraction is Avatar Flight of Passage, a 3D flying simulator that allows guests to fly on a banshee across the Pandoran landscape.

Another attraction, the Na’vi River Journey, places guests aboard a boat ride through Pandora’s bioluminescent rainforests. The area opened on May 27, 2017.

Africa

Set in the fictional east African port village of Harambe, this area contains several animal exhibits. Some snippets from Africa that were duplicated by the Disney Imagineers are a fortress that was found in Zanzibar and a water-stained crumbling old building that was found in Kenya. Harambe includes a “hotel,” restaurants, an outdoor bar that has live entertainment, and different marketplaces.

On the western side of Africa is the Harambe Theater, which is home to the Festival of the Lion King, a stage attraction based on Disney’s 1994 film, The Lion King.

Rafiki's Planet Watch

Rafiki’s Planet connects guests to Africa where they can board the 3 ft (914 mm) narrow gauge Wildlife Express Train for the short trip to and from the area, which consists of three sub-areas.

Habitat Habit!, where they can see cotton-top tamarins and learn about the efforts to protect these endangered primates, Conservation Station where various conservation efforts are showcases including a veterinary examination room complete with a two-way communications system so the veterinary staff can answer guest questions, and the Affection Section which is a petting zoo featuring goats, sheep, and other domesticated animals.

Asia

Asia is set in the fictional kingdom of Anandapur (which means “Place of many delights” in Sanskrit). Anandapur evokes the traits of Cambodia, India, Indonesia, Mongolia, Nepal, and Thailand.

Portraits of Anandapur’s royal family (consisting of the maharaja and his wife) can be found in most of the businesses within the two villages, a map of the kingdom featuring both villages and their location relative to the mountains and river can be found on the wall of the Disney Vacation Club kiosk located there. Much like Harambe, Anandapur is now a center of animal research and tourism.

The main attractions of Asia is the Expedition Everest steel roller coaster ride through the Forbidden Mountain of the Himalayas and the Kali River Rapids, a river rapids ride along the Chakranadi River.

DinoLand U.S.A.

DinoLand U.S.A. is themed around dinosaurs and other extinct prehistoric life. The area is anchored by the Dino Institute, a fictitious palaeontological facility which is home to Dinosaur, a dark thrill ride loosely inspired by the 2000 Disney animated film of the same name.

The area features Primeval Whirl, a steel Wild Mouse spinning roller coaster, the TriceraTop Spin aerial carousel ride, carnival games and gift shops. At the eastern edge of DinoLand U.S.A. is the Theater in the Wild, which hosts Finding Nemo – The Musical.

Like the other sections of Disney’s Animal Kingdom, there are animals on display. The animals, such as the American crocodile, red legged seriemas, Abdim’s stork and Asian brown tortoise, have evolutionary links to the age of the dinosaurs.

They are animal species that have survived since the dinosaur era and can be found along the Cretaceous Trail along with a collection of Mesozoic plants.

Welcome to Disney’s EPCOT (Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow) located in Orlando, Bay Lake, Florida USA.

Epcot is inspired by an unrealized vision developed by Walt Disney during the early development of Walt Disney World as an experimental planned community that would serve as a center for American innovation and urban living. After Disney’s death in 1966, this version of the “EPCOT” concept was abandoned.

On October 1, 1982, the ‘EPCOT Center’ opened as the second of four theme parks built at Walt Disney World resort. The new park maintained the idea of showcasing modern innovation and enterprise through avant-garde edutainment attractions, as well as the addition of a world nations exposition. The newly-designed park, featuring two sections, Future World and World Showcase.

In 1994, the park was renamed to Epcot (stylized as EPCOT) hosting an average of 13.4 million guests a year, ranking it as the fourth-most-visited theme park in North America and the seventh-most-visited theme park in the world.

The 21st Century Begins October 1, 1982

Hollywood Studios Slinky Dog Dash
Hollywood Studios Star Wars
Hollywood Studios Tower Of Terrror
Welcome to Disney’s Hollywood Studios Park located in Orlando, Bay Lake, Florida USA.

Disney’s Hollywood Studios opened on May 1, 1989, as the Disney-MGM Studios (Theme) Park, and was the third of four theme parks built at Walt Disney World. The park is dedicated to the imagined worlds from film, television, music, and theatre, drawing inspiration from the Golden Age of Hollywood.

Disney’s Hollywood Studios was initially developed as both a theme park and an operating production studio, with active film and television production services, an animation facility branch, and a functioning backlot.

The park’s current name took effect in 2008, with the removal of the MGM-branding throughout the park. In the 2010s, the park began to distance itself from the original studio backlot intention and entered a new direction of immersive theming and attraction development inspired by Hollywood stories.

Disney’s Hollywood Studios hosts on average 11.258 million guests per year, ranking it the fifth most-visited theme park in North America and the ninth most-visited theme park in the world.

Let Your Adventure Begin

Inside The Park

Seven Different Lands
Hollywood Boulevard

Hollywood Boulevard, inspired by the real street of the same name, serves as the park’s main entrance with streetscape facades and venues selling Disney merchandise and park services.

Near the park’s gate is a recreation of the Crossroads of the World tower where live street entertainment and seasonal parades take place down the main street throughout the day. At the far end of Hollywood Boulevard stands an exact replica of Grauman’s Chinese Theatre, which houses Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway. Near the entrance of Animation Courtyard—resides The Hollywood Brown Derby restaurant, a themed replica of the original Brown Derby restaurant in Hollywood, California.

Echo Lake

Echo Lake is designed to mimic the suburban “California Crazy” form of architecture from Hollywood’s Golden Age and is anchored around the area’s namesake lake.

Echo Lake includes three major attractions based on characters and films created by George Lucas and produced by Lucasfilm. Star Tours – The Adventures Continue, The Jedi Training: Trials of the Temple and the live-action Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular!

In this land you’ll also find The Hyperion Theater which houses For the First Time in Forever: A Frozen Sing-Along Celebration and also the ABC Commissary and the Sci-Fi Dine-In Theater Restaurant.

Grand Avenue

Grand Avenue is themed as a gentrified historic district inspired by the real location of the same name in downtown Los Angeles. The area is anchored by Muppet*Vision 3D and leads into a recreation of a Figueroa Street Tunnel which connects to Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge.

The area’s namesake street facades were formerly the park’s working backlot set, which was originally a component of the park’s inaugural Studio Backlot Tour, and opened to pedestrian park traffic in the mid-1990s; this area closed on April 2, 2016. The Muppet-themed areas and a single remaining block of the Streets of America facades were reincorporated into Muppets Courtyard, which served as a placeholder designation until Grand Avenue was completed in September 2017.

Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge

Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge is set within the Star Wars universe, at the Black Spire Outpost village on the remote frontier planet of Batuu.

Pixar Place was also the home of Luxo Jr., a six-foot-tall audio-animatronic version of Pixar’s desk-lamp mascot. The moving character performed periodic shows throughout the day and evening across from Toy Story Midway Mania.

Animation Courtyard

Animation Courtyard is home to attractions based on films and characters created by Walt Disney Animation Studios. Its entrance is marked by a square “studio arch”.

The former Magic of Disney Animation building hosts Star Wars Launch Bay, a Star Wars exhibit featuring behind-the-scenes props and character meet-and-greets with Darth Vader, Chewbacca, and BB-8.

Mickey Avenue, a subsection of Animation Courtyard, is home to a walk-through exhibit, Walt Disney Presents, which explores the life and legacy of Walt Disney through photos, models, artifacts, and a short biographical film narrated by Julie Andrews.
