Now that I know my way around - sorta -and have slowed my pace a bit I have found 10 wonderful things about Disney's Animal Kingdom and wouldn't want anyone to miss it!
1. The Festival of the Lion King - this would be my favorite theatrical production. I have seen it numerous times and I marvel at the timing involved, the enthusiasm of the cast members and crowd. I think everyone should see it! oh - it's fully air conditioned too!
2. Kali River Rapids - great family ride - get soaked, believe me you'll dry off.......
3. Kilimanjaro Safari - one hundred acres of African habitat filled with lions, giraffes, gazelle and many other animals.
4. DiVine - a ten-foot tall towering and wandering vine.....creepy, eerie and awesome!
5. Finding Nemo - The Musical - this is a fascinating musical and the puppetry and special effects are awesome. I prefer to sit farther back so I can view the entire production.
6. The Oasis - what's that you say? It's the place most people run through to get somewhere - they usually miss all the amazing animals and habitats and quite possibly DiVine. Slow down, take a look enjoy the animals - think ZOO not AMUSEMENT PARK.
7. The Picnic in the Park - this is a neat little concept that I am a fan of - you preorder your meal - using counter service credits if you're on the dining plan and then go back and pick it up - of course you get a nifty bag - BAG freaks love this - I count myself as a bag freak! There's plenty of food to go around, and depending on what you choose I suggest using at least one less dining credit than you have people.
8. Pangani Forest Exploration Trail - stroll through an exhibit of African wildlife visit the meerkat, hippos, gorillas and others.
9. Maharajah Jungle Trek - I discovered this while waiting for my family to ride Expedition Everest - not on my top 10 but probably on yours - anyway you'll find yourself walking through ancient ruins and some interesting animals - like the Komodo dragon, fruit bats, and tigers.
10. Flame Tree BBQ - I like to pick up my food and then head to the back and wind my way down to the Reflecting Pool - it's usually cooler and quieter - that's relevant - I mean we are at DISNEY.
There you have it my Top 10 for Animal Kingdom. Check out the entire series and let me know what your favorites are! I'm available to help you make your own personal top ten list just drop me an email or submit a quote!
I love the Animal Kingdom! I will have to do the Maharajah Jungle Trek on my next visit. =) You are right....it is hot in this park....so dress cool and ride Kali River Rapids often. Thanks for another great blog!

I love Animal Kingdom. It has become one of the more relaxing days of the trip. I decided to mention that AK used to be the only place in Disney to get the Chocolate Chip Ice Cream Sandwich. If anyone from Disney reads this entry please bring it back. Animal Kingdom was the only place to get them and they are dearly missed.

Wow! This Top Ten is great..why you might ask, well because it contains things on your list I've never seen and will now look out for. Example: I never take enough time to look at the vines and foliage, I admit. I need to slow down some. Then there is Pangani Forest Exploration Trail. What is that? Have I done it?..I don't think so, or the Maharajah Jungle Trek. Next trip for sure. And I wanted to do the Picnic in the park so badly and glad to hear it was good enough for the Top 10. A must for next time. (I love a good bag too!) Thanks again for sharing and again for enlightening me on stuff I clearly am missing out on!
