My wife, 2 yr old daughter, and I all enjoyed the park. It was extremely overcrowded in the morning but by 12 it was much less painful. Perhaps we started on the wrong side as we went straight for the Safari ride which is where everyone seemed to be headed. The charachter greeting setup seemed pretty good as they had an entertainer in the square, misting fans, and you could see the charachter so it lessened the frustation of the line. The park is very well rounded as it has good animal attractions, shows, a great parade, and a couple good rides. If it wasn't so crowded when we were there I would probably have given it top marks.

“Expedition Everest - Fab!!!”

Disney's Animal Kingdom

4/6 found this review helpful

Just returned from Disney trip - really enjoyed Animal kingdom - was very busy but as long as you had a plan and somebody who was prepared to get the fastpasses for the day - you were sorted. Arrived at park at 9am - walked straight to Expedition Everest and there was already a 30 min queue. So got a fastpass - would have been worth the wait - ride was fantastic and different. So got another fastpass for later in the day. the park was busy but if you plan well can get to see everything - including safari and characters - had a character breakfast at Tusker restaurant - food and characters good - but we booked 3 months before - so make sure you book early to avoid disappointment.

“Absolutely Amazing”

Disney's Animal Kingdom

5/7 found this review helpful

I think this is the newest Disney park in Orlando, and it is clear that everything they have learned was used in designing this park! Our three kids were between 3 and 6 when we went last fall and they all had a blast. They were intrigued with the live shows, especially the Lion King. We were impressed with the attention to detail, especially the theming of the buildings and the walkways to make you feel like you were on an african safari. The highlight for everyone was the safari adventure where you actually board a jeep and go out to the "savannah" and see the animals in a replica of their natural surroundings. Our jeep was even delayed a bit by a hippo that was intent on staying in the path. My favourite Disney park by far!

Like all other Disney facilities, the food is over-priced and tastes bland, but the international festivities and shops were a treat. Everest is a great roller coaster and you WILL get wet on the river ride. A bug's life is a great show. The animals were entertaining throughout the park. The safari is definately worth the wait. There were tons of animals and it was good to see them in a psuedo-natural habitat.
