Disney’s Animal Kingdom Theme Park

Disney’s Animal Kingdom Theme Park is spread across 580 acres, making it the largest theme park in the world, so make sure you’ve got comfy shoes on for this one. It’s part of the huge Walt Disney World Resort in Bay Lake, Florida.

Because there are live animals at the Park, it’s been set up a little differently from other Theme Parks. It’s well away from the noise and bustle of the rest of the Resort, and Disney's Animal Kingdom Theme Park attractions are designed to be quieter and less intrusive. You can see animals that are on the brink of extinction in the wild, and the efforts being made to protect them.

Getting in and around Disney’s Animal Kingdom Theme Park

Disney’s Animal Kingdom Theme Park is part of the huge Walt Disney World Resort in Florida. Fly into Orlando International Airport, and either rent a car at the airport or if you’re staying at one of the Disney Resort Hotels hop onto Disney’s Magical Express, a complimentary ride that takes you from the airport to your hotel. Pack comfy shoes, because you’ll probably do a lot of walking during your visit.

Once you’ve arrived, there are two main ways to get to the Park:

  • By bus: Buses to Disney’s Animal Kingdom Theme Park run from all across the Resort, as well as from the other Disney Parks. Depending on where you’re staying, the journey can take from five minutes to half an hour.
  • By car: If you’ve hired a car then you can drive to the Park. There are several parking lots, and it’ll cost you from around $25 (depending on the size of your vehicle) for the day to park. Disabled parking is closer to the main gates

Disney’s Animal Kingdom Theme Park map

Getting around the Park itself is done mainly on foot. Download a map onto your phone or pick one up as you enter the Park. Our top tip is to go online and download the My Disney Experience app **. That way you get to see all your favourite attractions without walking further than you need to.
