I think AK is the 2nd best park at WDW, behind MK. With the addition of EE and Kali river ride and TTBAB, AK is not Boring by far.

Hi! Animal Kingdom is my second favorite park after EPCOT. Besides the rides, I really love the 2 animal trails.

a half-day park at best

The first time we went I thought it was not that great, but this year we took our time, looked at the scenery, studied the tree of life, let the kids play a couple "carnival games," looked at animals, etc. and had a great time. Festival of the Lion King is great! We rode the safari twice and both times were different - I wish there had been time for a 3rd ride. The 2nd time was after a big storm and the some of the animals were a little more active. Its really all about your mindset - don't go expecting MK - its a category all its own.

We actually stayed until closing and wished it was open longer.

I certainly didn't think it was boring at all. There was lots to see, but it was so hot when we were there last week, it got unbearable! We went to each of the parks while we were there. I would never have thought that Animal Kingdom was my favorite park, however, in retrospect, my favorite ride of all the parks was Expedition Everest and my favorite show was undoubtedly The Lion King. I have a 3 1/2 year old and we had no problem getting character autographs here. Very short lines at Camp Minnie Mickey character meet and greet trails. This was so much better than standing in line at Mickey's Toontown. If you can take it slow and the weather isn't too hot, you could really have a great day at this park.

The park itself is beautiful. If you have time (even as you're leaving) to stroll along and just kind of check things out, there is a great amount of detail. It really is a world in itself.

If you like animals, it is great! If you don't, it is still OK.

I like the walking trails. Could stand at the bat exhibit forever. Always check the kimono dragon...I've never seen him move...little buggar. But there is always hope! And I like the bird show (the rest of the family and everyone else I've dragged in thinks it is horribly boring, though!)

I usually do two mornings in AK and never even bother with Kilimanjaro safaris. To me, it is really stupid and generally boring.

The Lion King show is FABULOUS and It's Tough To Be a Bug is adorable (except for small kids - scares the bejesus out of them.)

Dinosaur is fine to do once...a lot of herky-jerky with little payoff, so I usually skip it.

Expedition Everest is a lot of fun, if you aren't scared of rollercoasters.

I used to really dislike the place, but it has grown on me over the years - now I have a love/hate thing going on...but there's more love.

I don't like the way the cashiers hit you up for $1.00 every time you buy something. I shop less at AK than anywhere else, just because of that.
