| | Having visited this park for the first time i must also add that it felt very closed in and difficult to find your way around its no where near as well signposted as Mr Disneys other parks and as the foliage is so thick you cant actually see very far across to different areas .The Safari however is brilliant and worth the admition fee alone. | | Report this post to a moderator | goto top of page |

| | Love AK. Eeveryone else went on Everest (I'm not good with rides. I go on the small ones and out of the bigger ones the only one I go is Hulk) and said it was fab. The girls are 13, 11 and 6 and they enjoyed it. They are all into animals though in a big way, particularly the eldest. I went into a dark booth at Rafiki's planrt watch and in it you put on a headset and the cast member said it would sound like you are in a rain forest but nothing was in there with you; it was just sound. It was amazing, really realistic. nice relaxing day | | Report this post to a moderator | goto top of page |

| It's a couple of years since we visited AK but felt a morning was enough time there & a 'hop' to another park for the afternoon was the best option for us. We did love the Tree of Life and the Safari trip. We are all animal lovers but visited on a very hot day in August and many of the animals were hidden amongst the trees to find some much needed shade.
Several of our guests have mentioned AK among their favourites - just goes to show it wouldn't do for us all to like the same things!

| I had a guest recently who had never been to Florida and was looking for advice on how to spend the limited time they had. Since they had teenagers, I told them that AK would be one of the parks to miss since our family has found that one to be our least favorite. Well, they didn't take me advice (good for them!) and in their opinion, AK was the best! |

| I have to disagree...i love the animal kingdom and think it is a fantasic park. The shows alone are amazing (lion king, nemo: the musical and all of the little shows dotted around as well).
|The addition of Expedition Everest has changed the dynamics of the park, and now there are several great attractions for the thrill seekers as well as those wanting a family day out. Dinasour, Kali River Rapids, Kilimanjaro Safaris, Bugs Life and now Everest. It has the addition of exploring all the lovely animals as well the great shows and dining.
I for one always look forward to visiting AK and having our annual trip to the Rainforest Cafe for tea after a long day in the park.

| Interesting to see an old thread revived.
I have to say I agree with you, wholeheartedly, Disney Princess. We love Animal Kingdom because it has so much for all the family. At the moment my favourite thing is the wonderful Nemo show, but I still love the safari ride, and my kids can't wait to get on Everest. My favourite ride is Dinosaur, and I try to do that a couple of times every time we go.
I think that since this topic was first posted many attractions have been added to broaden the appeal of this unique park.
So if you haven't experienced it for yourself, then its certainly worth a look. |

| | Is Everest a 'thrill ride'? I don't like the big rides but I do like stuff like The Mummy and smaller coasters. I didn't go on last time but wondered.... | | Report this post to a moderator | goto top of page |

| Another vote for AK. We love visiting there,the animals and the feel of the place, Disney have done a great job.
Nina in answer to your question, I suppose they try to cater for all requirements so the odd thrill ride probably satifies those people.
They are by definition Theme Parks so each one, MK, Epcot, MGM and AK has a variation on the Disney theme. I suppose the fact we all prefer different Parks evidences the need for that.
We love them all unfortunately, so on each visit try and get round them all for our 'fix'
I personally like Epcot, but that is the science ..... or is it the kid in me

| hi sammibabe, Everest is a great ride, but like the mummy, it isn't too intense for the more faint hearted. Its nothing like the Hulk or those kind of rides. If i had to compare it to one i would say its a bigger, bagger version of thunder mountain at the Magic Kingdom.
Definately worth a ride!!! | | Report this post to a moderator | goto top of page |

Animal Kingdom a bit dull?
