This park was a big disappointment compared to a place like Sea world or Discovery Cove. The lines were incredibly long, the layout of the park was very exhausting and confusing and the food was below average. In one day we were able to see the Lion King show (not great) ride 3 rides (the lines were so long) and... more

I think most of the complaints are from visitors who speed their way frantically through every theme park trying to ride every ride, see everything, that they can fit in, and for them Animal Kingdom just isn't exiting enough. We are annual pass holders, and Animal Kingdom is wonderful if you take time and at a leisurely pace. The animals... more

I just got back from another trip to Disney World. We traveled with all of our kids again (with several different age groups represented). The Animal Kingdom is definitely the least appealing of the 4 WDW theme parks, as many other reviews have mentioned. The park is certainly not to be confused with a zoo. I do not think that... more

I'd give the park 5 stars if it weren't for cost. Safari was great, bird show was really cool, all the exhibits are really well done and attention to detail was evident. Loved the tree of life... Not interested in the shows OR the rides, so... no idea on those. I have a hard time finding any park worth the... more

They warn you entering the park that AK is not a zoo, "it's a jungle out there". Lucky they said that, because as a zoo, it was pretty limited. Basically they just had animals from Asia and Africa. And it seemed that they did not have that many of those. Almost every zoo that I have ever visited had more... more

I am a total Disney lover- the ridiculously hot weather, the terribly over priced food, the long lines and the way over priced merchandise- I love it all. We live about two hours from there and go any chance we get. I'm very tolerable of the crowds and rude tourists, and everything else that goes along with jamming thousnads of... more

I have been to Animal Kingdom several times during my family's visits to WDW the past 4 years. I have always enjoyed our time at this park. We usually come here the day after we "pushed it too hard" as we find it very relaxing at AK with all of the trees and the many animals that can be seen... more

Overall the visit was ok. Everything is so spread out and the lines are very long. Best rides are Everest and Dinosaur. Its tough to be a bug show was good, but will probably scare younger children. more

We had the best day! We had lunch at Tusker House. Reasonably priced Buffet with unusual and amazingly delicious foods. The Nemo Show was so wonderful, we had tears! It was worth the price of admission in itself!!! Great show, Broadway GREAT! The Lion King show was another big hit. The Park not so big that you can't do everything... more

Very few animals-or they were all hiding. I had been told that you have to go early in the morning to see them. We were then stuck on the train, due to engine failure for over 20 mins with a 4 and 5 year old. No one was there to greet us after we got off to apologize, like they... more
