-'''Disney's Animal Kingdom''' is one of four theme parks at the [[Walt Disney World Resort]]. Built on a theme taking inspiration from the many cultures around the world, circling around a central animal message, the park's icon is the magnificent [[Tree of Life]], into which is carved a massive array of animals, insects and fauna.
+Notable page creations:
-Plans for the park were originally released in 1995, and ground-breaking began soon after. The park opened on Earth Day 1998, and is the largest of the four theme parks in the Resort, due to the large expanses of man-made savannah and animal habitats in the north of the park.

-* The are rumours circling the web of expansions of the [[Walt Disney World Monorail]] to [[Disney-MGM Studios]], [[Downtown Disney]] and eventually Disney's Animal Kingdom. According to various sources, work was believed to have started in 2002 but plans were shelved after the New York City terrorist attacks of 2001 - which occured days after plans were announced by Resort president [[Al Weiss]].

-Apparantly the plans for expansions to the other two parks and the shopping district (the monorail currently runs to the [[Magic Kingdom]] and [[Epcot]] among several Magic Kingdom-area resort hotels) have been seen on display in the monorail shops, sparking interest in completing the plans which were hindered by the tourism collapse following 9/11.
-* The latest addition to the park's attraction roster, Expedition: Everest, is due to open officially in August 2006 having finished soft openings in June and July of that year. The towering coaster, which is housed in a recreation of Mount Everest, was built to encourage Resort guests to the park, which although being the biggest park, is the least popular of the four.
