Of all the Disney Parks we liked this one the best. Pandora is a great attraction and we enjoyed the atmosphere here. Over two hours to queue for the ride here, which did seem a bit much. Enjoyed the animal safari and some of the lesser known attractions, such as the bugs life theatre. The amount of time queueing did feel too much for the amount charged for a ticket and for the amount of time you actually spend on the rides. The queues were just too much for our children (9,9 and 11) which made us decide not to return, they just weren't enjoying it.

How someone could say this is anything short of incredible must be living a depressed life. It is crowded we waited hours in line for these attractions but they are they greatest in the world so that was expected. This park has so much to offer just to see the safari and the decoration and the food it is a real opportunity of a lifetime to get to see it!

Pleasantly surprised by Disney's Animal Kingdom. Lots of shaded areas and beautiful surroundings. My son loved Dinosaur and was able to ride it back to back since we had early park access.
Pandora and all of its rides were the highlight of our trip. And until riding Guardians of the Galaxy at Epcot Avatar Flight of Passage was the best ride I had ever been on in Disney. The safari was great and I liked how they balanced fun with educational gems.

This is the most beautiful theme parK: also the hottest. Go early and come back late if you are there in the summer. The rides are the least of the draws here. The animal exhibits are amazing. Be sure to cool down on Kali River Rapids and don’t miss Kilimanjaro Safaris or the animal trails. Dinosaur is my favorite ride and it needs some love. They keep turning the lights further and further down hoping you wont see that the apatosaurus is missing most of it’s skin, but it doesn’t quite work. This whole part of the park needs some love. I’m hoping they put an Encanto/Amazon land here.

I went with DD.
the best experience we had is the safari, and the bird show. They reminds us San Diego safari zoo, they are similar.
It is a fancier Zoo with entertainments. Nothing really beats the expectation. it was good.
We like the food here. forgot the restaurant, food is really tasty,

Again Disney does it best. A zoo and a theme park combined. One of the things that made me feel great about seeing is that the animals are well taken care of. Definitely one of the parks not to miss.

Return visit. Choice of days not for covid safery, Mobbed!! exorbitant food prices ($25 lunch), 2 to 3 hour waiting lines. Where are the shuttles? App is difficult to use. Forced to spend extra money for 'lightening' lines yet limited usage. Lion King fabulous with very happy performers. Walt would be so disappointed. Every employee very helpful.

This was the most relaxed disney park. It has a much more laid back feeling and people are in less of a rush.
We did the main attractions to us, the safari to see the animals, the Lion King show and the river rapids. We also picked up some smaller attractions like street performers, the jungle trek and meeting some characters.
A more relaxed day, but still a serious amount of walking in very hot a d humid conditions.

Loved riding the Celebration of the Lion King and also Avatar Flight of Passage!!! Go early and ride the Kilimanjaro Safari ride to see the animals when the are starting their day and having their feeding. I would pass on the Na'Vi River Journey unless you just need a place to sit and chill in the AC for a bit....not worth waiting in line for. Highly recommend getting the Genie app to get on rides using the Lightning Lane.

Don’t panic! I changes by the second!
Just keep trying every and any Park. Once you find a reservation just take it! After 2 pm you can switch parks.
You’ll get in!

Hola. No recuerdo haber visto esa opción en el juego de AVATAR, pero tal vez en el mismo lugar puedes preguntar. Recomiendo llegar antes de las 09:00 hrs, ya que ese juego se llena. 100% recomendado, lo vas a disfrutar. En la espera del juego y mientras haces la fila, verás a un AVATAR en el laboratorio, tal cual como los de la película.

Does Pandora still have that place in the gift shop where they can make the Avatar dolls that look like you? We’re headed there soon. Thanks.

They didn't let us really hang around in the gift show in the COVID conditions in May. The relaxation of rules started a few weeks after that. We did build druids at Star Wars, but that was by appointment only.
What is best time to visit this park to see animals out & about?

We went on the first ride and the last one, It provides some variety so you could see more animals.

Así es, debes hacer la reserva al comprar tus tickets, los cuales se cargan en la App de My Disney Experiencie. Si no lo haces no podrás entrar, ya que controlan el aforo de esa manera.

Considering price of the ticket is it worth going for someone who is pregnant and can’t go on a lot of rides? Thank you for answering

I would say so if you enjoy fantastic theming and immersive lands that feels like you are really looking at architecture and other environmental features from the representative regions but with a Disney flavor. There are a few rides that you may be able to enjoy such as Navii river journey. There are hidden walking trails and if you can take the time to sit down and take it all in, there are little spots around the park that are quite inviting. Once its dark, Pandora really comes to life! If shows are available, there is an incredible bird show with live flying birds, and Nemo was a fantastic show with dedicated performers with some musical numbers included that are not in the movie (plus climate control! And sitting!). The safari is a little jostling, nothing crazy, but use discretion there.
Its a fair bit of walking to see it all, but it can be broken into manageable chunks.

Do they have rides that are gentle and not scary?

Yes. I would only consider the dinosaur ride as scary.

We are planning on coming soon, February 2021, to Animal Kingdom. What will be open to enjoy? What will be closed due to COVID?
Otherwise, we were thinking about Epcot. Any thoughts? Two adults. No kids. Thank you.

I would suggest to download the Disney World app. It will tell you what is open and what is closed.
