"With a safari‑themed focus, this park showcases Disney’s more wild properties like Avatar and The Lion King. It also hosts character dining at the African‑inspired Tusker House Restaurant, where families can meet characters while enjoying food that matches the park’s adventurous atmosphere." - Carly Caramanna
"I see Disney's Animal Kingdom carrying forward Discovery Island's zoological legacy: the park builds upon that theme with interactive and immersive animal exhibits, and its central land is even named Discovery Island, which appears to be a nod to the original attraction." - Elizabeth Rhodes Elizabeth Rhodes Elizabeth Rhodes is a senior editor at Travel + Leisure, covering everything from luxury hotels to theme parks to must-pack travel products.

"A visit to Disney’s Animal Kingdom Theme Park gives you a safari feel with behind-the-scenes tours offering intimate experiences with animals like white rhinoceroses and giraffes." - Travel + Leisure Editors
"Opened in 1998, Disney’s Animal Kingdom Theme Park is home to animals, animated attractions, and thrilling rides for the entire family. The animal lovers in your entourage will swoon over the fun, informative Kilimanjaro Safari Rides, during which you’ll take an open-air vehicle across the “savanna” to spot herds of giraffes and elephants, while thrill seekers will love the roller coasters, rafting rides, and character meet-and-greets. There are also exhibits on everything from gorillas and okapis to hippos, flamingos, and living coral reef, as well as the new Pandora—The World of Avatar area, which features 3-D rides and other, milder attractions for little ones. Standard admission tickets include enough to keep you busy for two days, plus you can add on experiences like evening safari rides, dining packages, and behind-the-scenes tours with naturalists to learn about the day-to-day care of the African elephant herd."
