As much as we may like to, we can’t always be at Walt Disney World. So I’ve put together the next best thing! Join me for a virtual tour of Animal Kingdom, including the attractions and shows that make this park truly magical.
Animal Kingdom was the most recent theme park to open at Walt Disney World Resort, debuting to the public on Earth Day in 1998. Here we step foot on an adventure throughout the world, celebrating culture, wildlife, and the environment. It offers seven themed lands:
- Oasis
- Discovery Island
- Pandora – The World of Avatar
- Africa
- Rafiki’s Planet Watch
- Asia
- DinoLand, U.S.A.
You can learn more about Animal Kingdom here.
Virtual tours are a great way to explore the parks from home. Set the scene with some Mouse Ears, a few Mickey-shaped treats, and Disney-inspired outfits. Keep a notebook handy to write down ideas for things you see that you’d love to include in your next visit to Magic Kingdom.
Let’s get started!
Oasis
The Oasis is our gateway into new worlds, where we can stroll past waterfalls and meet peaceful animals such as a giant anteater, barking deer, and spoonbills. Enjoy some background music to kick off our tour of this land.
