Had two relatively brief trips to Disney’s Animal Kingdom this last week. The park appears to be in a stable mode right now. A few small changes here and there, like the meet and great that replaced the smoking zone, but over all the park has settled into a good rhythm.

Day 4 pictures from WDW feature a look around the Animal Kingdom, the Magic Kingdom (with a lot of Toontown shots), a Space Shuttle launch taken from the Contemporary dock, and Downtown Disney.

April 22 is a very special day for Disney’s Animal Kingdom. Not only is it Earth Day, but it’s also our theme park’s birthday. Could it be 12 years already? As an opening team member, I can’t believe how quickly time has flown! And how fitting it is that Disney’s Animal Kingdom opened on Earth Day.

It's nearly impossible to do everything in any of the Disney World Theme Parks in just one day, but if that is all the time you have, we are here to help. The Disney's Animal Kingdom One Day Must Do Guide! shares the best attractions, entertainment, and dining to check out when you only have one day at Disney's Animal Kingdom.

We are featuring a battle for third place park, between The Studios and Animal Kingdom! Since pictures speak louder than words we’ve decided to seek definitive resolution photographically for this especially hotly contested Disney Debate!

This Sunday, April 22 marks the fourteenth anniversary of the opening of Disney’s Animal Kingdom Park. To celebrate Makin’ Memories will be going on a blog-safari with our Animal Kingdom Appreciation Week; seven days of posts all about and from all around our favorite park in Walt Disney World. We will be serving up a collection of new photos, videos, and experiences to highlight what makes Disney’s Animal Kingdom so unique.

Pictures from around the Animal Kingdom and EPCOT are featured in day 7 shots (12/15/09).

We are celebrating the 55th Anniversary of Disneyland park this weekend! Over the past few months, we have been sharing key moments in each year of the park’s history in our Countdown to 55 weekly feature. In honor of this weekend, we are bringing you the entire history of the Park we’ve featured on the blog – in one post! Read on to discover all the events, attractions and people that made Disneyland park the magical place it is.

“A kingdom we enter to gaze at the beauty…”
Disney’s Animal Kingdom is considered by many to be a morning park; get there early, see the animals, ride the rides and get out. What many guests are missing is the beauty of the park at dusk.
