Summary
10 Things to Love about Disney’s Animal Kingdom
Disney’s Animal Kingdom is a theme park unlike any other. Officially opened on Earth Day, April 22, 1998, the park actually has a lot of ties to Walt Disney, and the admiration he displayed for animals throughout his life. Some of Walt’s earliest sketches were local animals.
With over 500 acres, it is super important to wear your most comfortable shoes at this park.
What to listen for:
- When is the best time to visit
- What’s hidden inside the Tree of Life
- Why you should keep a watchful eye on the park map
- Expedition Everest, more than a roller coaster.
Thanks For Listening!

| 1:11.0 | so it hasn't been around for that many years. |
| 1:14.4 | And I remember when it first came about, |
