Disney’s Animal Kingdom might just be Disney World’s most beautiful park.
Not only is it just so lush and green (and SHADY — which is really important this time of year), but there are animals to see, fun attractions to ride, a land devoted ENTIRELY to dinosaurs (yes, we think Dinoland is pretty underrated), and some AMAZING food (hello, cheeseburger pods!). But what’s been going on with this park lately? Let’s find out!
