Animal Kingdom is the newest and the biggest Disney World Park. Don’t let this scare you, it is so easy to get around. Despite it’s size, Animal Kingdom’s attractions are more spread out, giving you time to stroll through the park at your own pace. That being said, you shouldn’t need more than a day to get through Animal Kingdom. Also, try to pick a day where the kiddos need a little down time as this is a very relaxing park.

Animal Kingdom is divided into 6 areas, starting with the Oasis at the entrance. This area has a tropical garden, Rainforest Café and a gift shop. Go ahead and keep walking until you see the Tree of Life on Discovery Island. That is the center piece of Animal Kingdom and you are going to want to know where that is at the end of the night when River of Lights show begins. Meanwhile, lets go through the park.
