My Must-See Attractions Part 2: Animal Kingdom

If you only have a short time to spend at the Animal Kingdom, these are my 3 must-see attractions:

- Kilimanjaro Safaris - the park's headliner attraction. An absolute must for visitors of all ages.
- Expedition Everest - one of Disney World's more intense attractions. A fabulous and unique roller coaster.
- Festival of the Lion King - a fun, creative theatrical show.

I recommend heading straight to Kilimanjaro Safaris upon entering the park. Afterwards, grab a Fastpass for Everest and watch the Lion King show while you wait for your ride time.

Another great show at the Animal Kingdom is Finding Nemo - the Musical. Although an amazing production, I found the story itself a little sad and, therefore, personally prefer the more cheery and uplifting Lion King show. It's all about personal preference. If you and your traveling companions, liked one movie more than the other - see that show.
