In celebration of Animal Kingdom;s 20th Anniversary I felt it would be fun to share little knows facts about the park. I will start: Walt Disney Parks have always put on parades as part of the park entertaiment but over the 20 years of Animal Kingdom they have had only two parades. The first was the March of the ARTimals which started when the park opened and lasted just over a year. This was followed by the Mickey's Jammin Jungle Parade which ran from 2001 - 2014, which made it the longest running daily daytime parade in WDW history.
