The dense canopy overhead, the distant call of wildlife somewhere out of sight — it's clear almost immediately why Disney's Animal Kingdom Theme Park is considered one of the most immersive parks anywhere.
Soar over Pandora—The World of Avatar on Avatar Flight of Passage, brave a Himalayan trek gone wrong aboard Expedition Everest—Legend of the Forbidden Mountain, or spot lions and giraffes on Kilimanjaro Safaris. Calling this a theme park barely covers it — it's closer to stepping into a fully realised world.
Nature does the storytelling here, the adventure never feels staged, and there's always something waiting further down the trail.
Disney's Animal Kingdom Theme Park spreads across five distinctly themed lands, all connected to the lush central hub of Discovery Island.

Tropical Americas - Coming Soon in 2027
Central and South America's cultures, landscapes, and wildlife are heading to Disney's Animal Kingdom Theme Park. The new land will introduce an Encanto-inspired attraction built around the film's music, magic, and family at its core, alongside a reimagined Indiana Jones experience bringing fresh adventure to the storytelling. Replacing the former DinoLand U.S.A., Tropical Americas represents the next big step forward for the park — new environments, new attractions, and new experiences for every generation.
