Instead of including animals in Disneyland attractions, Walt shared stories of live animals through his True-Life Adventurefilms, a series of nature documentaries that debuted throughout the 1950s. The documentaries were a proven success, with letters and notes in the Disney archives today indicating that many public schools used them as educationa...
The same year, the Living Seas opened at EPCOT Center boasting the largest saltwater aquarium tank in the world at the time (5.7 million gallons of water, surpassed by the Georgia Aquarium whose tank is almost double that size in 2005). The Living Seas was the first major expansion of a Disney theme park that focused on the care and conservation of...
Disney’s America was a failed concept that would have brought an American history-themed park to Virginia (or a proposed site by Knott’s Berry Farm after Disney was ousted from Virginia). The plan was to open the park in the early 1990s and have different themed lands portraying various times in American history, all in a strategically located area...
Then CEO of the Walt Disney Company Michael Eisner was sort of known for wanting to one-up the competition. While it was not the primary reasoning for pushing forward with Disney’s Animal Kingdom, the park did come to be following a bit of Eisner’s usual process of taking an idea from another company and making it Disney’s own (think Disney MGM Stu...

In the days and weeks leading up to the opening of Disney’s Animal Kingdom, press conferences and media interviews led to coverage toting the park as the largest and most expensive theme park built to date. Reporters were also told in press releases and in statements by Disney that the company expected 7-8 million people to visit the park during it...
While there is no question that Disney’s Animal Kingdom has become a huge success (especially with the expansions of Asia and Pandora: World of Avatar), I think it’s important to note that it was not without some struggles, despite all of the work that went into animal care and guidance from experts in the industry.

- Enter the Park Before It Opens. Did you know that you can book breakfast reservations before Animal Kingdom opens? Several options are available at Walt Disney Resort for each park and we recommend breakfast at Tusker House to accomplish this in Animal Kingdom.
- See Mickey & Minnie Before Everyone Else. If you can’t snag early breakfast reservations, try getting to Animal Kingdom before the “Rope Drop” (official opening) to be one of the first to enter the park.
- Take the Secret Entrance to Animal Kingdom. If you’ve missed rope drop and you find yourself entering the park with hundreds of other guests, not to worry!
- The Best Quick Service Breakfast at Animal Kingdom. A breakfast reservation at Tusker House isn’t the only way to do morning meals at Animal Kingdom.

Dec 15, 2023 · Disney’s Animal Kingdom is so different from Magic Kingdom and definitely unique compared any other park on property. It’s half zoo, half theme park. And when I say theme park I mean that word in the most literal sense because the theming of Animal Kingdom is STUNNING.
