If you’re looking for a holiday that involves animals, but you would like something more than just traveling to a zoo, consider Disney World’s Animal Kingdom. It is a good spot to go for a family adventure. Because it is officially separate from the other parks that Disney world, it is possible to only visit the animal kingdom if you do not want to take more than one day by visiting the rest of the Disney Parks. It is quite humanly impossible to visit all of the Disney theme Parks in one day. Oftentimes those that visit Disney world will find that they take 3 to 4 to 5 days for a thorough Disney holiday adventure.

Plan An Animal Adventure At Animal Kingdom Disney World, Orlando Florida

However, if you’re pressed for time and you’re in the Orlando Florida area then you may wish to stop by animal kingdom on its own. There are more than 1700 animals at Animal Kingdom from a total of 250 species. Disney claims that the theme park leads the way in animal care, cleanliness, education, and research. Disney spends millions upon millions of dollars each year to maintain Animal Kingdom and it shows.

There are seven areas of the Animal Kingdom Theme Park, which are:

  • Oasis
  • Discovery Island® area
  • Camp Minnie-Mickey
  • Africa
  • Rafiki’s Planet Watch® area
  • Asia
  • Dinoland, U.S.A.® area

These different areas are meant to portray real life habitats of animals from around the world. Disney has gone to great lengths to ensure the authenticity and the realism of these habitats. Some of the exhibits will allow you to get close enough to the animals to actually touch them or pet them. You will certainly be close enough to take pictures as well so make sure you have a good camera with you.
Like most of Disney world there are also exciting parades that happen around the clock, though not quite as frequently at Animal Kingdom as some of their other theme Parks. You’ll find the dining to be rather excellent (though on the pricey side of course) while you are in any of Disney’s Theme Parks.

Transportation To And From Animal Kingdom

The transportation a simple and is done via a network of bus routes throughout the Disney Parks. These are all complimentary which is a nice feature. For more information you can visit the Parks official web site at http://disneyworld.disney.go.com/parks/animal-kingdom/.
