Claiming status as the world's largest animal-themed park, Animal Kingdom boasts 1,700 animals of 250 species and four million plants on more than 500 acres of land. Whimsy meets reality here, as visitors move from animated insects (It's Tough to Be a Bug) to real-life critters (HabitatHabit). You'll find thrill rides, live performances and opportunities to meet Disney characters at Animal Kingdom, but the real stars of the park are the live animals, best experienced from an open-sided vehicle on the Kilimanjaro Safari.
