It turned the big 1-0 today. Wow they grow up so quickly.
I celebrated with a ride on Everest and Dinosaur tonight. The park seemed packed but the lines were 10 min. or less.
Happy Birthday.

It feels like yesterday I was a small kid and my parents were showing me this is where the new theme park is being built! I am surprised Disney has made little/no mention of it.
Happy B-day Animal Kingdom!

It's a fantastic park - a decade has flown by!

I think Walt would be thrilled with the Animal Kingdom. He certainly tried to bring the experience of nature to his viewers through many of the movies. And, of course, the Jungle Cruise and the Tiki Birds exposed Southern Californians (and later, Floridians) to exotic animals.
I think Walk would be amazed at the technological advances that have allowed his company to have REAL animals, while also maintaining a theme park.
The AK is our family's favorite park. I hope it continues to grow and become even more spectacular.

Happy Birthday AK. I can't claim that it's my groups favorite park but it did grow on me. I also believe that Walt would have been proud of AK's accomplishments.

Walt Disney would have been proud, and he would have been proud of the park when it first opened as well. Its just that animals are not as big a draw as they used to be, hence the disappointing opening numbers of Animal Kingdom. It took a thrill ride for everyone to start taking notice.

I sure hope I can get down there to visit it before it's 15th b-day

I just found this article about AK's 10th Birthday and it looks like they did have a celebration of some sorts:
