Disney’s Animal Kingdom opened on Earth Day, April 22, 1998, as Walt Disney World’s fourth theme park. Dedicated to the celebration and conservation of animals, it features seven distinct lands ranging from lush jungles to prehistoric worlds. Though the newest park on property, Animal Kingdom has evolved over the years with major additions like Expedition Everest (2006) and Pandora – The World of Avatar (2017), ensuring its place as both a tribute to nature and a showcase of Disney’s storytelling.
