Animal Kingdom!

What's New?
Pics from Kali River Rapids previews are on the Asia page.
Three new pages have been added -
It's Tough to Be A Bug has been
moved to its own page.
A new page of Frequently Asked Questions
containing answers to touring plans, disabled touring, transportation, etc.
A new page on Beastly Kingdom rumors,
plans and construction info.
Coming soon - a new look and feel for the home page and the site to celebrate our first anniversary! It's
hard to believe that we first visited DAK on March 5, 1998.
You'll notice many of the pages have already changed, with reduced picture sizes to help page
loading times and more consistent look and feel.
Pictures from late January have been added to all of the pages on this site, especially
Kilimanjaro Safaris, Pangani Forest and Camp Minnie-Mickey. Site updating in preparation
for our first anniversary redesign in March is underway.
It appears that construction has started on Beastly Kingdom! Earth moving equipment has been
at work to the west of the Oasis. Rumours are that it is being designed with a "Dare the Dragon"
stand-up dragon-themed coaster, and the Quest for the Unicorn maze.
See Updates - MARCH '99
Asia's Kali
River Rapids opened for Cast Member previews Feb 10-14. You WILL get WET!
See KidGenie's review at Updates - FEB'99.
Asia's official opening is March 18th, and the Annual Passholder's Sneak Preview is March 6 and 7 in the
morning. If you're in the park, be sure to check to see if they're running previews of Mahrajah and Kali; they have been
opening often. Even Kali has been allowing the public on some of the preview days.
Official Disney site links have been added; see the new Disney Links section in the Site Navigation column.
Thank you for being one of the 17,000+ visitors since Jan 1, 1999!
Maharajah re-opened. CM Kali previews. See Updates - FEB'99.

Crowds are returning to 'normal'. Night Safaris are
finished for now. The River Taxis are gone again. Older hopper tickets now accepted at
DAK. Rumors about Beastly Kingdom starting.
See January 99 section on the Updates
page.
Asia's Maharajah Jungle Trek opened, and it
looks like the Kali River Rapids (formerly Tiger Rapids Run) could soft open shortly.
Kilimanjaro Night Safaris have started for a trial run over Christmas/New Years. See the
December section on the Updates
page.
Andrew's comments from his early December visit are in
December Updates. Looks like a big push to get Asia open.
More photos from December have been added to Asia, Kilimanjaro Safari and Pangani Forest.
The boats on Discovery River are back! They're now
called Discovery River Taxis. See the Updates page's November
section.
Another month - another name change! This time it's Tiger Rapids Run. New photos
have been added to Asia, Africa, Safari and other pages.
The monthly Update sections have been moved to a new Updates page , along with
the map and other links. The site re-design has started, with smaller pictures for faster
downloading. New photos will be added on the Kilimanjaro Safari, Africa and other pages.
Thanks to Andrew for the new graphics and logos.
Interested in what the Maharajah Jungle Trek and
Tiger Rapids Run will be like when they open? Check out the new updates in the Asia section
Disney's next animated film, A Bug's Life premieres November 20th. Some of the
characters will be familiar to those of you who experienced "It's Tough to be a
Bug!". A USA 25 city mall tour to promote A Bug's Life has kicked off - you
can check the A Bugs Life website for more details.
The Discovery River Boats have disappeared - see the October Update.
The Secrets of the Animal Kingdom TV show has debuted! See the October Update
There's a new trail at DAK - the
Pangani Forest Exploration Trail (as noted below).
Pictures of the new signage and a new Asia area are now on this site this month.
The Gorilla Falls Exploration Trail has been renamed as the Pangani Forest Exploration
Trail.
Why rename it? Probably because it has many more animals than gorillas, and also because
the gorillas aren't always visible. Details in August Update.
The March of the Animals parade is now called The
March of the Artimals and later renamed March of the ARTimals. See the story in the
revised March of the ARTimals
section
Some changes in Asia - new entertainment, and a December 1998 opening - are in the Asia
section.
A new acronym for you - FOLK - see the July Update.
And the Guidebook section is new - full inside and outside scans of the July 13 Guidebook.
Opening Day Discussion: Michael & Roy at Harambe
