Disneys Animal Kingdom

Animal Kingdom is the largest of the Disney theme parks that make up Walt Disney World. I've been told that the other 3 theme parks would fit comfortably within it's boundaries, and after walking the park a few times I'm inclined to believe it. The scale of attractions an scope of view with all the animal areas is much larger than you'll find elsewhere.

The central feature is the giant Tree of Life structure, which resembles a tree standing 14 stories tall adn including over 325 animal images within it's "bark" and "roots". Glimpses of different parts of the Tree are visible from many angles in the park and each is slightly different. In the foundation of the Tree of Life is a fun 3-D movie attraction titled "It's Tough to be a Bug", featuring Flik from "A Bug's Life".

Until recently, the Tree of Life was the tallest landmark at Animal Kingdom, but now if you're driving nearby you can plainly see that the new Expedition Everest attraction is even taller and is very photogenic, especially from the bridges leading in to Asia or Africa.
