Animal Kingdom - Rides, Shows, and more!

Animal Kingdom:

This theme park is based on awareness for animals! Festival of the Lion King show, Safari through the African savannah, It's Tough to be a Bug 3D show, and much, much, more!!

Attractions:

Kilimanjaro's Safari - go here FIRST THING in the morning. Animals are most active in the morning! Take a ride in an open bus and see elephants, lions, cheetahs, alligators, and many more animals! Make sure you have your camera ready!

 This giraffe was taking it's time and posing for my camera on one of my many trips!

Dinosaur - jerky and loud ride back in time to a specific dino. Make sure you have all your belongings packed in your bag and secure! My mom had her sunglasses on the top of her head on time and they flew right off! Luckily, the workers found them at the end of the day and they were okay!

Expedition Everest - Super fast roller coaster that will take you up and down Mount Everest to find the Yeti! Watch out for his claws! This ride is my favorite roller coaster Disney World has because of how long it is! -- And you go BACKWARDS and spiral down (sort of feels like you are upside down)! You will need a Fast Pass or hop in the singles line!

 

Kali River Rapids - Warning! You will get soaked! Take a river raft ride through some incredible rapids! You can wear a poncho, and I suggest that you do! I did ride it one time and I only got a drop of water on me, so my family forced me to ride it again so I got as soaked as they were. Oh and the dry seat is usually the one that gets even wetter the next time! You can't predict which seat is the driest one. It depends on the weight of everyone on the raft!

Affection Section - Ride the train to a petting zoo. DO NOT do this! Don't waste your time at a petting zoo! You can do that back at home (or in a city close to home). There is nothing special about it.

Primeval Whirl - In Dinoland, this ride spins as it travels up and down! Don't look down or you will get sick!

Shows:

It's Tough to be a Bug! - One of the best 3D shows! You put on your special bug-eyes glasses and become an honorary bug! Beware of bugs crawling between you and your seat ;) Oh! It does get a tad wet one of the bugs try to spray you!

Finding Nemo the Musical - Watch this live show based on the movie! It is an incredible performance and everyone enjoys it! Sit on the end of an isle so you can have some fish swim by you ;)

Festival of the Lion King - This is my ALL TIME favorite live show in Disney World! It is currently being moved to a new theater in Africa. It was in Camp Minnie-Mickey that is now being turned into Avatar-land! This show invites the animals from the movie to join in the celebration! There is romance, sing-along-songs, and acrobats! Every age enjoys this show! Children get to join in the fun and dance around with the performers!!

What's in the Future??

Avatarland is replacing Camp Minnie-Mickey! This is based on the movie where the military guy replaces his brother and becomes a blue person and enters the wild jungle. There will be a boat ride through that jungle, a walk way of it, and another ride to let you experience riding a Banshee (that flying animal)!

Festival of the Lion King is being moved to a new African theater.

They are going to start keeping the park open til after dark! They will have a night Kilimajaro's Safari ride and a night time firework show and parade! Kilimanjaro already has a night time safari but it is a special tour that you pay money to see. Now, it will be open with park admittance!

I predict there is more coming in 2014 & 2015 than they are letting on :)
